Let’s set it up!

Please be aware that the excessive or abusive use of extensions, bots, or automation tools on some websites can lead to penalties, including temporary or even permanent restrictions on your account. We recommend you read and adhere to the specific terms of the websites you are visiting and using to avoid any disruptions or issues. We do not assume any responsibility for the consequences of abuse.

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Gmail

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Gmail. This will allow Bardeen to create draft emails.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to choose or specify your email bot. You can choose an existing bot that you created in the past or customize a new one from the dropdown. For the purpose of this tutorial, let’s choose to customize an email bot.

BardeenAI will begin customizing your email bot by gathering information about you using tools like Apollo.io.

It will then display all the pre-filled information it has found about you.

Review this information and make edits if necessary. This information will be used when constructing your sales outreach emails. Bardeen will ask you some follow up questions about your role in your organization.

After you have read, edited and approved all the information, your email bot is now ready. Bardeen will also ask you to input an optional scheduling link to include in your emails.

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark your email bot and scheduling link. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 2: Run the playbook to create a sales outreach email from the current LinkedIn post

Navigate to a LinkedIn post that you want to reference and create a sales outreach email for.

Press Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard to launch Bardeen. Click on the playbook card and run the playbook to generate a personalized sales outreach email.

Bardeen will analyze the LinkedIn post, the LinkedIn profile, find the email address and construct your sales email with information from the profile, the post and information about you that Bardeen obtained during the setup process. Bardeen will then save the outreach email as a draft email in Gmail.

You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
