Overview
AutoReach provides multiple lead discovery methods across X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Access them from the Leads page, which has four tabs:
All- Every lead discovered across all your sources
Signals- Leads found from intent signal searches, scored and ranked in real time
Sources- Extractions from lookalike accounts, link extractions, and CSV imports
Lookalikes- Manage your saved lookalike accounts
To add new leads, click Add Lead on the Leads page. You'll choose a platform (X, LinkedIn, or Instagram), select an account and offer, then pick a discovery method.
X Discovery Methods
When you select X, four options appear:
From a Lookalike
Extract followers or following from a specific X account. You provide a target username, choose followers or following, and set a max count. AutoReach paginates through the list and scores each person against your offer.
Enable Buyer Expansion to automatically re-extract from seed accounts daily to capture new followers.
Best for: Mining the audience of industry accounts, newsletters, or competitors on X.
From Signals (Intent Stream)
Search X for people discussing problems your offer solves. AutoReach generates targeted search queries from your offer, or you can provide your own keywords. Both tweet authors and commenters are captured as leads.
Advanced settings let you configure max tweets, days back, whether to include replies, and max replies per tweet.
Enable Buyer Expansion to automatically re-run this search every 24 hours with fresh keywords.
Best for: Finding leads showing active buying signals on X.
From a Link
Extract leads from a specific X post or search URL. Two modes:
Post Comments- Extract people who commented on a specific tweet
Search Profiles- Extract profiles from a search results URL
Best for: Capturing engaged audiences from specific high-signal posts or threads.
Add Manually
Add a lead by their X username. The lead is queued for enrichment and scoring.
LinkedIn Discovery Methods
When you select LinkedIn, six options appear:
From a Lookalike
Find people similar to a lookalike account on LinkedIn by mining the commenters on that account's posts. (LinkedIn lookalike extraction works off post engagement, not the follower list.) Each run processes a capped number of the seed account's posts and captures the people who commented on them.
Best for: Scaling outreach by tapping into relevant professional communities.
By Role
Search LinkedIn for people by job title in your offer's target locations. Uses your offer's preferred locations and industries to filter results. Select a role from AI-generated role suggestions, and set a max result count.
Enable Buyer Expansion to automatically rotate through different roles daily and continuously find new leads.
Best for: Systematic targeting by role, location, and industry. To target specific companies, use By Company instead.
By Company
Search for companies matching descriptors like "B2B SaaS Sales Tooling" or "Lead Generation Agency", then add the top decision-maker from each as a lead. AI can generate descriptors from your offer, or you can enter your own.
Enable Buyer Expansion to re-run each descriptor daily and capture new companies as they appear.
Best for: When you know the type of company you want to reach but not the people yet. Returns one focused lead per company instead of many.
From Signals (Intent Stream)
Search LinkedIn posts and comments for intent signals. AutoReach shows which buying signals are active for your offer and generates queries accordingly. Both post authors and commenters are captured by default.
Advanced settings include:
Posts per search query- How many posts to analyze per query
Search period- Past 24 hours, past week, past month, or any time
Max comments per post- How many commenters to extract per post
Include commenters- Toggle commenter extraction on/off
Feed search- Also search your LinkedIn feed for signals
Hiring signals- Configure Max Jobs per Role and Max Companies to find decision-makers at companies that are actively hiring
Enable Buyer Expansion to automatically re-run this search every 24 hours.
Best for: Finding engaged LinkedIn users with professional signal strength.
From a Link
Extract leads from a specific LinkedIn post or search URL. Two modes:
Post Comments- Extract people who commented on a specific post
Search Profiles- Extract profiles from a search results URL
Best for: Capturing engaged audiences from specific high-signal LinkedIn posts.
Add Manually
Add a lead by their LinkedIn profile URL or vanity name. The lead is queued for enrichment and scoring.
Instagram Discovery Methods
When you select Instagram, these options appear:
From a Hashtag
Extract the authors of top and recent posts under one or more hashtags. Enter a single hashtag, or let AutoReach generate a niche-relevant hashtag pool from your offer. Enable Buyer Expansion to rotate through the pool daily and capture fresh authors.
Best for: Finding people actively posting about topics tied to your offer.
From a Lookalike
Extract the followers or following list of a target Instagram account. Provide the target username, choose followers or following, and set a max count. Enable Buyer Expansion to re-extract daily.
Best for: Mining the audience of an influencer, competitor, or community account.
From a Link
Extract the people who engaged with a specific Instagram post: likers, commenters, or both.
Best for: Capturing the engaged audience of a high-signal post or reel.
Add Manually
Add a lead by Instagram username. The lead is queued for enrichment and scoring.
Lookalike Account Discovery
From the Lookalikes tab, click New Lookalike to discover relevant accounts. Two search methods:
By Offer- AutoReach uses your offer's target audience to find influencers, thought leaders, and communities whose audiences match your ICP
By Profile URL- Provide a specific influencer or competitor profile URL
The search returns up to 10 candidate accounts with follower counts and audience categories. Select which to save, then use them as seed accounts for extraction via the "From a Lookalike" option.
Works on X, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
Lead Pool (Instant Matching)
AutoReach maintains a shared pool of pre-enriched lead profiles with vector embeddings. When you create an offer, the system automatically matches existing pool entries against your ICP. Matching leads appear in your pipeline instantly- no waiting for enrichment.
The Lead Pool is fully automatic. You can see pool-sourced leads by filtering the All tab by "Pool DB" source.
Best for: Getting scored leads instantly without waiting for enrichment.
CSV Import
Click Import Leads on the Leads page to bulk-import leads from a CSV file. Upload your file, preview the results (including duplicate detection), select accounts for enrichment, and confirm. AutoReach supports X handles, LinkedIn URLs, Instagram profiles, and email addresses. Imported leads are automatically queued for enrichment and scoring.
CSV Export
Select leads from the All tab and export them as a CSV file. The export includes profile information, scores, contact details, source data, and enrichment results. Use filters to narrow down which leads to include before exporting.
Cross-Platform Profile Matching
Cross-platform matching (finding X profiles for LinkedIn leads and vice versa) is a manual action, not an automatic pipeline step. Select leads, click Enrich, and enable "Find LinkedIn" or "Find X Profile" under Profile Discovery. See Lead Pool for details.
