Launchpad

Follow the interactive 4-step Launchpad to connect your LinkedIn account, link email mailboxes, activate deliverability warmup, and launch your first campaign.

What is the Launchpad?

The Launchpad (/launchpad) is Reachvo's interactive onboarding checklist. It is designed to guide new users through the four essential setup steps needed to launch an automated, multi-channel outbound engine safely.

As you complete each configuration step, your Setup Progress bar updates automatically in real time (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4).

The 4 Launchpad Steps

Step 1: Connect LinkedIn Profile

Linking your LinkedIn profile unlocks automated LinkedIn touchpoints (profile visits, connection requests, and personalized DMs):

  1. Click Connect LinkedIn Profile or click the Reachvo Chrome Extension in your browser toolbar.
  2. Ensure you are signed into LinkedIn in an adjacent tab.
  3. Click Sync Session to Reachvo.
  4. Once connected, your card displays a green Completed badge showing your profile name, avatar, and active connected status.

IMPORTANT

Account Safety Rule: Reachvo connects securely via your active browser login. Never log out of LinkedIn on the browser where your extension is installed, as logging out disconnects your account session.

Step 2: Connect Sending Mailbox

Connecting a sending email account enables automated Cold Email outreach and multi-channel fallback sequences:

  1. On the Step 2 card, click Connect mailbox → (or navigate to Settings → Accounts → Email Accounts).
  2. Select your email provider:
    • Google Workspace / Gmail: 1-click Google Sign-in to grant sending permissions.
    • Microsoft Outlook / Office 365: 1-click Microsoft Sign-in.
    • Custom Email (SMTP / IMAP): Enter your provider login details (e.g. Zoho, iCloud, or work email).
  3. Once connected, the step marks as Completed, displaying your active sender email address and provider badge.

Step 3: Activate Deliverability Warmup

Before sending cold emails, activating deliverability warmup is critical to ensure your messages land in the primary inbox rather than the spam folder:

  1. On the Step 3 card, locate the Deliverability warmup toggle switch.
  2. Click the toggle to Turn Warmup On.
  3. Reachvo will immediately begin exchanging peer-to-peer simulated emails with high-reputation inboxes in our warmup network, gradually ramping your sending volume from 5 to 40 emails/day.

TIP

Warmup Pro-Tip: If you are using a newly registered domain or email account, keep warmup active for at least 14 days before launching large cold campaigns to build maximum sender reputation.

Step 4: Create Your First Campaign

Once your sending channels are connected and warming up, the final step is launching your first outreach sequence:

  1. On the Step 4 card, click Open sequence builder → to open /outreach/campaigns/new.
  2. Select a target prospect segment (e.g. from Prospects → Search Prospects).
  3. Build a safe multi-step sequence:
    • Step 1 (LinkedIn): Profile Visit (warms up the lead with a notification).
    • Delay: Wait 1 day.
    • Step 2 (LinkedIn): Connection Request with dynamic note ({{firstName}}).
    • Delay: Wait 2 days.
    • Step 3 (Email): Send cold email if the LinkedIn invitation is still pending.
  4. Set your sending schedule (e.g. Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM in recipient's local timezone).
  5. Click Launch Campaign.

What Happens After 4/4 Steps Completed?

When all four steps reach 100% Completed:

  • Your automated outbound sequence will execute safely in the background, adhering to human-emulation daily limits.
  • Responses from prospects will automatically stream into your Sales → Inbox (/crm/inbox) and advance stages in your Sales → Pipeline (/crm/outreach-pipeline).
  • You can track campaign reply rates and deliverability health directly from your Dashboard (/dashboard).
