1. First login: Your workspace is ready

When you first log in, Extrovert automatically pulls data from your LinkedIn to set up your workspace. After a few moments, you'll see your Feed page - the main place where all the action happens.

2. Understanding your Feed

The Feed shows all posts that matter to you in one clean view. For each post, you'll see:

  • Post summary: Quick AI-generated overview of what the post is about

  • Suggested comment draft: AI-written comment ready for your review

Nothing gets posted without your approval. You're always in control. You can:

  • Regenerate the draft for different options

  • Customize it with AI to add specific points

  • Edit it manually

  • Approve when ready - it posts on your behalf to LinkedIn

3. Your campaigns: Two engagement strategies

Extrovert creates two campaigns for you automatically:

Prospects campaign

Track specific people - your prospects, customers, or thought leaders. We've added 5 people you recently engaged with to get you started.

Topics campaign

Track specific topics across all of LinkedIn. We've automatically populated topics based on your LinkedIn profile.

Think of campaigns as your engagement strategies. Some strategies track people, others track topics. You can manage all campaigns in the Campaigns section.

7. Configure Feed Settings (optional)

Each campaign has Feed Settings that control what posts you see. Access them via:

  • Post feed → "Settings and filtering" menu

  • Campaign settings → Feed settings tab

Customize settings like:

  • Post age filter (how recent posts should be)

  • Hide post categories (remove politics, self-promotion, etc.)

  • Touchpoint frequency (how often to engage with each person)

  • Maximum posts per person (prevent feed takeover)

  • AI topic filtering (show only posts matching your expertise)

🔗 Full guide on Feed Settings

8. How posts are updated

Extrovert automatically checks for new posts every 24 hours for each prospect. You can see the last check time in your prospect list.

Need posts immediately? Trigger a manual check:

  • From Feed: "Settings and filtering" → "Check for new posts"

  • From Campaign: Three dots menu → "Check for new posts"

  • From Prospects page: Select prospects → bulk action
