Creating an Agent
Describe your buyer, connect the LinkedIn account, and let the agent take it from there.
Go to Agents in the dashboard and click New agent. The whole setup is a description of who you sell to and which LinkedIn account should do the work.
1. Describe your buyer
This is the part worth spending real time on. Write who they are in plain language, the way they would describe themselves rather than the way a marketer would: "founders who built their own website and run a booking tool" beats "SMB decision makers in the digital space".
Your description is the starting point rather than the final answer. The agent tests it against who actually accepts and replies, and sharpens it from there.
2. Say what you sell
A sentence or two about the product and the problem it removes. This feeds two things: the score the agent gives each profile, and the first message it writes when somebody accepts. Vague input here produces vague messages, and vague messages do not get answered.
3. Choose where it looks
Add a few places to start from. A search term works, so does the audience of a competitor or of somebody your buyers follow. Three or four is plenty, because the agent adds its own once it knows what works.
4. Connect the LinkedIn account
The email address, the password and your 2FA secret if the account has two-factor switched on. Everything is encrypted before it is stored. The first sign-in takes a minute or two, and the agent reads your profile back to confirm it worked.
5. Let it warm up
A brand new agent starts slowly and earns its pace over the first weeks, exactly like somebody new to outreach would. You cannot skip it, and skipping it is what gets accounts restricted.
The first few days are quiet on purpose. Judge an agent at the end of its first month, not on day 3.
