Advanced Artifact & Automation Workflows

These are complex, multi-step use cases that leverage Ace MCP’s full power.

1. Build a Custom Dashboard (All in Claude)

Goal: Create a live dashboard of your pipeline, contacts, and local market data.

Prompt:

Gather:
1. All active deals and their stages,
2. All contacts, and their source, stage, and assignee.

2. Get current mortgage rates and market trends for the area.

4. In-depth Economic data on the area
Then generate a user friendly dashboard to visualize and digest the data.

2. Create, Test, and Deploy a New Email Template

Goal: Build a new HTML email template, add it to FUB, and test it—all via Claude.

How-To:
  1. “Draft a new HTML email template for open house invitations. Include a modern design, property image placeholder, and RSVP button.”
  2. “Create this template in Follow Up Boss and name it ‘Open House Invite 2025’.”
  3. “Personalize the template for my test contact John Smith.”
  4. “Send a test email using this template to John Smith.”
  5. “Fetch the sent email and check for formatting issues.”
  6. “Update the template if needed and re-test.”

3. Automate a Multi-Contact Nurture Campaign

Goal: Launch a 90-day nurture sequence for all new leads.

Prompt:

“Find all leads added in the last 7 days. Apply the ‘90-Day Nurture’ action plan to these contacts and create a follow-up task for each lead for next week. Draft a personalized welcome email for each lead and save it as a note then schedule a check-in call for each lead in 2 weeks."

4. Bulk Data Cleanup & Tagging

Goal: Clean up your database and organize contacts.

Prompt:

"Find all Leads missing phone numbers. Tag these contacts as ‘Needs Update’. Create a personalized email template elegantly requesting updated contact info and send to each contact."

5. Market Update Campaign with Real-Time Data

Goal: Send a market update to all active buyers using live data.

Prompt:

“Fetch current housing market and economic data for their area. Draft a market update email using this data. Personalize and send the email to all active buyers. Create a follow-up task to check responses in 3 days.”

6. Relationship Mapping for Referral Strategy

Goal: Identify and target referral opportunities.

Prompt:

“Fetch all clients who closed in the past quarter. Fetch economic and housing market data in their area. Find their connected contacts and co-buyers. Draft and send a personalized referral request email to each including congratulations on their smart purchase/sell with data. Then Create a follow-up task to call these clients next week.”

Power Tips

  • Chain commands: “Find all new leads, tag as ‘Q2 Priority’, and create follow-up tasks.”
  • Leverage artifacts: Build dashboards, templates, and reports directly in Claude, then push to FUB.
  • Automate testing: After creating templates or workflows, use Claude to test and verify results.
  • Bulk everything: Any action you can do for one contact, you can do for many.
  • Ask for suggestions: “What should I do next with these leads?” or “How can I improve my pipeline?”

Limitations

  • Cannot send texts directly (creates drafts).
  • Cannot access other users’ private data or change system settings.
  • Cannot process payments or access external platforms.
  • All actions are logged and auditable for compliance.

Why Ace MCP + Claude Is Different

  • Deepest FUB integration: Full read/write, not just read-only or “chatbot” access.
  • Supplemental Data: Real-time market, economic, and behavioral data—no vaporware.
  • Artifact workflows: Build, test, and deploy dashboards, templates, and campaigns—all in one place.
  • Unlimited scale: Work with your entire business, not just one contact at a time.
  • AI-powered: Predictive analytics, smart suggestions, and workflow automation.

Use this cheat sheet as your “command center” for success.

Every example is real, actionable, and achievable—no vaporware, just results.

Claude + Ace MCP = Your unfair advantage in real estate CRM.
