This guide takes you from zero to a sent personalized email. No configuration needed beyond these steps.


Step 1: Create your product

Go to Products in the sidebar and click New Product.

Fill in the required fields:

  • Code — a unique identifier (e.g., "cloudcrm-pro")
  • Name — your product name (e.g., "CloudCRM Pro")
  • Market — target market (e.g., "B2B SaaS")
  • Description — what your product does and who it's for
  • Tags — optional keywords for organization

The more detail you write in the description, the better the AI writes emails.

Click Create Product.


Step 2: Add a lead

Go to Leads in the sidebar and click Add Lead.

Required fields:

  • Product — select which product this lead is for
  • Company Name — the lead's company
  • Email — their email address

Recommended fields for better personalization:

  • Contact Name — their full name
  • Source — where you found them (Website, Referral, etc.)
  • Segment — company size or type (SMB, Enterprise)
  • Notes — any relevant context ("Spoke at React Conf", "Uses competitor X")

Click Create Lead.


Step 3: Generate a draft

From the Leads page, find your lead and click the Generate Draft button (sparkle icon).

The AI will:

  1. Read your product description
  2. Look at the lead's company, role, and notes
  3. Write a personalized email draft

This takes 2-3 seconds. The draft appears in the Drafts section.


Step 4: Review and approve

Go to Drafts in the sidebar. Find your draft and click to preview it.

You can:

  • Edit the subject or body directly
  • Approve when you're satisfied
  • Reject if you want to start over

After approval, the email is queued for sending.


Step 5: Track engagement

Once sent, go to Dashboard to see:

  • Total drafts and pending reviews
  • Sent emails count
  • Lead status updates

When leads open, click, or reply, their status updates automatically. Check the Replies page for incoming responses.
