Connection request accepted (auto-detected or manual check)

Automatic Stage Detection
The CRM automatically detects and moves leads through stages based on your activity on LinkedIn. You do not need to update stages manually.
Connection Request Sent
When you send a connection request manually on LinkedIn, the extension intercepts it and:
If the person is already a lead: moves them to Requested
If they are not a lead: creates a new lead and sets them to Requested
Captures the invitation URN for later withdrawal tracking
DM Sent
When you send a DM on LinkedIn, the extension detects the recipient and:
Leads in New/Requested/Accepted are moved to Contacted
Leads already in Contacted are checked for replies
Leads in later stages get an activity timestamp update
Reply Detection
The extension continuously monitors open conversations. When a lead replies:
The lead is automatically moved from Contacted to Replied
A toast notification confirms the detection
Uses fuzzy name matching to handle name variations, abbreviations, accents, and Cyrillic characters
Deal Signal Detection (Meeting, Won, Lost)
When a conversation is open, the extension uses AI to analyze the lead's messages for deal progression signals:
If a meeting signal is detected: a popup suggests moving the lead to Meeting
If a won or lost signal is detected: a popup suggests moving to Won or Lost
You confirm or dismiss the suggestion. The popup auto-dismisses after 10 seconds.
Add to Leads
On any LinkedIn profile page, the extension injects an Add to Leads button directly into the profile actions row (next to Connect, Message, and More).
Click Add to Leads to create a new lead from the profile
The extension automatically scrapes: name, headline, company, location, bio, and profile image
If the person is already in your CRM, the button shows In CRM
Check Connection Acceptances
Click Check Acceptances in the CRM to manually check which connection requests have been accepted.
Fetches your recent LinkedIn connections via the API
Cross-references them with leads in the Requested stage
Accepted leads are automatically moved to the Accepted stage
Uses fuzzy name matching to handle variations
Follow-Up Management
The extension tracks which leads need follow-up:
Leads in Contacted or Replied stages that exceed your configured follow-up threshold are flagged
A follow-up filter toggle lets you see only leads that need follow-up
Set a per-lead follow-up date: Tomorrow, In 3 days, In 1 week, In 1 month, or a custom date
Generate an AI follow-up message with one click
Configure the default follow-up days (1-30) in Settings
Connection Withdrawal
Manage pending connection requests that have not been accepted:
Configure a withdrawal threshold (number of days before a pending request should be withdrawn)
The extension checks for leads past the threshold and shows a withdrawal modal
Withdraw connections in batch (executed with delays for safety)
Withdrawn leads are moved to the On Hold stage (cooldown period before they can be re-contacted)
AI Messaging Assistant
On LinkedIn, the extension injects an AutoReach button into the message composer. Click it to open the assistant menu with six options:
1. First Message
Generate a personalized opening message for a new contact.
Template mode: Uses your saved first message template with basic personalization
Enhanced mode: AI strategically crafts the message using all available context
If the lead is in your CRM: shows their matched post/comment, buyer score, recent posts, and lets you generate from that context
If the lead is not in your CRM: generates from their headline
Displays lead intelligence: buyer probability, fit/intent/timing scores, suggested play, signal date
2. Reply Suggestion
Get an AI-powered reply for an ongoing conversation.
Parses the full conversation history from the page
Sends conversation context plus lead data (CRM stage, matched post, buyer intelligence) to AI

Includes your currently selected offer for context
4. Proofread
Improve a message you have already drafted.
Shorten: Make your draft more concise and punchy
Enhance: Make your draft more compelling and persuasive
The result popup also offers Shorten and Regenerate options

Ask anything about the lead: strategy questions, objection handling, next steps
Context includes: conversation history, CRM stage, buyer intelligence, matched post, ICP match reason, recent posts, company, bio, notes
Chat history persists per lead across sessions
Responses rendered with markdown formatting
