Welcome to Extrovert! This guide will help you get started in minutes.
Extrovert is a suggestion-first outreach tool for LinkedIn. AI monitors your prospects, suggests comments and DMs, and you approve before anything sends. Think of it as an outreach copilot — AI finds moments and drafts messages, you make the decisions.

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. Comment on their posts, send connection requests, and get DM suggestions when it's time to reach out. We've added 5 people you recently engaged with to get you started.
Topics campaign
Track specific topics across all of LinkedIn. Join relevant discussions to build visibility. 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.
4. What can you do with Extrovert?

Click to add prospects

CSV file upload
API integration
Organize prospects into lists for different groups: "Hot prospects", "Enterprise customers", "Thought leaders", etc.
6. DM suggestions
For Prospects campaigns, Extrovert can suggest DMs when it's time to reach out. You'll find these in the DM suggestions page in the left sidebar.
DMs are suggested when:
After connection: Suggest a first message after a prospect accepts your connection request
Relevant post: Suggest a follow-up when the prospect posts something you can reference
Time-based: Suggest a follow-up after X days even without a specific reason
Like comments, nothing sends without your approval. You can approve, skip, customize, or regenerate each suggestion.
To enable DMs in your campaign: Go to Campaign → DMs tab and toggle on the triggers you want.
7. Set up Context and Style (optional but recommended)
We've created default Context and Style based on your LinkedIn profile, but you can customize them for better draft quality.
Style: How you write
Go to Settings → Style library to customize:
Comment style instructions: Your tone, length preferences, emoji usage for comments
DM style instructions: How you want to sound in DMs (separate from comments)
Comment examples: AI learns from your examples
Context: What you talk about
Go to Settings → Context library to customize:
About you: Your background and expertise
About your company: What your company does
Insights: Hot takes and industry observations for comments
DM Playbook: Templates, value props, objection handling, and sales assets for DMs
8. 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)
9. 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
10. Connect your LinkedIn account
For Extrovert to work, you need to connect your LinkedIn account. We take security very seriously:
No Chrome extensions (more secure than automation tools)
Advanced safety measures to protect your account
No accounts banned since launch
Connect your account from Settings when prompted.
11. Add your team (optional)
When you're ready to bring your team to Extrovert:
Go to Team section

Enable sharing access so they can comment on your behalf
☝️ Pro tip: Team members who don't connect their LinkedIn (they just help manage campaigns) don't need a paid seat.
