Resume email sending to a paused lead within a specific campaign.
AI agents invoke smartlead_resume_lead_by_campaign to trigger actions in SmartLead MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool triggers an external operation (resuming email sending) to a lead in a campaign. It is not merely reading or writing data — it actively restarts an automated email sequence, making it an Execute category action. Misuse could result in unwanted emails being sent to leads, but it is reversible (can be paused again), so severity is medium rather than high.
