Documentation

Sender identity— name, role, company, company description, and sign-off. Used by the AI for every message. Be specific: "We build booking websites for dental clinics" beats "we do software."

Email delivery (SMTP) — works with any mailbox: Google Workspace, Zoho, Namecheap/cPanel, Outlook. Easiest path: use ⚡ Quick setup— type the email you'll send from and every field (host, port, SSL, IMAP) is detected and filled automatically; you only paste the password. For Gmail/Outlook/Zoho/Yahoo that password is an App Password — the wizard links you straight to the right page to create one, and Verify & save checks the login live (no email sent) so only a working configuration is stored. Then use Send test email for the final proof.

Reply detection (IMAP) — lets the app watch your inbox for replies and bounces. If your IMAP credentials are the same mailbox, leave the IMAP fields empty — the SMTP values are reused. Typical IMAP port: 993.

Public base URL — set this to the address of this app so open/click tracking and unsubscribe links in your emails point somewhere real.

AI provider — AI writing is included free (daily limit by plan). You can optionally add your own Anthropic (Claude) API key for unlimited generation with zero markup.

Three sources, each with different strengths:

• Web search (AI) — searches the open web; often returns emails and company intel (what they do, size) directly. Best default.
• OpenStreetMap — free open business database; great coverage of local physical businesses, but many entries lack websites.
• Google Places — official Maps data; needs your own (free-tier) Google API key in Settings.

After the source returns businesses, each website is visited automatically to extract emails, Instagram, and LinkedIn — including de-obfuscating tricks like info [at] company [dot] com. Results you already imported are hidden on repeat searches and never charged to your quota.

If you get fewer than you asked for: the source genuinely ran out of matches for that niche + area. Try another source, a broader niche, or a nearby bigger city.

Find the owner — on any lead, one click searches LinkedIn for the decision-maker behind the business; picking one attaches their name and role to the contact so the AI can personalize further. Owner lookups use 1 lead credit each.

Offline-business mode — set the Website filter to No websiteto find businesses with no site at all: perfect prospects if you sell websites or digital services. This mode picks its own sources (map data — OpenStreetMap, plus Google Places if you added a key) and then automatically hunts each business's Instagram, phone, and email across the web, since offline businesses usually have an Instagram page even without a site. Import them (a business name plus an Instagram handle or phone is enough — no email needed) and reach them with an Instagram DM campaign or a call.

Redesign-prospect mode — the Outdated websitefilter audits every site found and keeps only the ones with concrete problems: no HTTPS, not mobile-friendly, free-builder hosting, ancient copyright dates, 2000s-era code. The specific issues are saved into each lead's notes, so the AI opens your email with them — "I noticed your site isn't mobile-friendly…" — automatically.

Tech profile on every lead— every website found is also read for its platform (WordPress, Shopify, Wix…) and marketing tags (Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics…). Badges appear on each lead, one-click chips above the results filter by them (import & CSV follow the filter), and the facts flow into the lead's notes so the AI can pitch with them — a business running ads to an outdated site is your hottest prospect.

Import from the Lead Finder, upload a CSV (only email is required — headers like company/industry/url are auto-detected), or add manually. Duplicates are skipped by email automatically.

Targeting specific people: the category field is free text and doubles as your list system. Give any group of contacts a custom category like vip-list(when importing or by editing a contact), then choose that category as the campaign's audience — only those contacts get it.

Unsubscribed and bounced contacts are excluded from every future send automatically and permanently.

• Brief — one or two honest sentences: what you offer, the concrete benefit, what you want them to do. The ✨ Improve with AI button turns a rough idea into a crisp brief and names the campaign.
• Channel — Email sends automatically. Instagram and LinkedIn produce draftsyou send manually from the Message Center (automating DMs gets accounts banned — we don't).
• Audience — a category, or All contacts.
• Pace — messages per hour (keep it 10–20), an optional send window (e.g. 9:00–17:00 in your Settings timezone), and a schedule time.
• Follow-ups— up to 3, N days apart, written with the earlier email in context. A reply stops that contact's sequence instantly.
• A/B subject test — alternates two subject strategies and reports open rates per arm on the campaign page.
• Test batch— check "Start with a test batch" and only the first 5 or 10 messages go out; the campaign then pauses itself so you can review results (and edit) before hitting Resume for the rest.
• Editing — the ✎ Edit button on any scheduled, paused, or running campaign changes the name, brief, tone, speed, and follow-ups. Messages are written at send time, so edits apply to everything not yet sent.
• Preview — always generate a sample before scheduling: it shows the real AI output for a real contact, runs the spam-filter check, and can email the sample to your own inbox.

Campaigns can be paused, resumed, started immediately, or cancelled any time; the per-message log shows every send, open, click, and reply.

With IMAP connected, your inbox is checked every 2 minutes. Each reply is classified — interested, question, not interested, out of office — and the AI drafts a suggested response in your voice, ready to copy or open pre-filled in your mail app. Bounce notices automatically mark the contact and stop all future sends to them.

Instagram and LinkedIn drafts live here too: copy → open profile → mark sent, one click each.

• Authenticate your domain: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Check yours in 5 seconds with the free DNS checker — the Settings page has the same check with fix-it advice.
• Warm up new domains: turn on warm-up mode — it ramps 10/day → 25 → 40 → your full cap over 4 weeks. Skipping this is the #1 way new senders end up in spam.
• Keep volume human: daily cap 25–50 while your domain is young; throttle 10–20/hour; send inside business hours.
• Never cold-email from your main business domain — use a separate look-alike domain so your transactional/personal mail is never at risk.
• Content matters: the built-in spam check runs on every preview; the same check is free for anyone at /tools/spam-checker.

See pricing for the current numbers. The important part is how limits behave: nothing breaks. At the daily email cap, remaining messages send tomorrow. At the AI limit, the built-in template engine takes over until midnight. At the monthly lead limit, the Lead Finder pauses until the 1st (or an upgrade). Your live usage is on the Plan & Usage page in the app.

• Verification email didn't arrive— check spam, then use Resend from the in-app banner. Mark it "Not spam" so the next ones land properly.
• "Test email failed" / SMTP errors — wrong host/port combo is the usual cause: 465 needs SSL on, 587 needs SSL off. Gmail needs an App Password. Some hosts use mail.yourdomain.com, others a server hostname from your hosting panel.
• My emails go to the recipient's spam — run the DNS check first; fix any ✗. Then: new domains need 2–4 weeks of low, steady, warmed-up volume to build reputation. This is normal.
• Lead search returned fewer than requested — that niche/city genuinely ran out of findable businesses. Switch source or broaden.
• "Provider is busy" / temporary AI errors— wait a minute and retry; campaigns fall back to the template engine automatically, so sending never stops. When that happens the campaign page shows how many messages used templates — templates personalize per business but don't follow custom brief instructions.
• "My custom instructions weren't followed"— put them in the campaign brief (they override the AI's style rules), and check the campaign page for a template-fallback notice: template-written messages are the usual cause.
• Anything else — email support; we usually answer within a business day.
