Nice. Let's get the app installed.

Download & install the app
Double-click to install — no technical knowledge needed
~3 min
1
Download the app

Click the button below to download the zip file.

2
Unzip and move to your Desktop

Double-click the downloaded zip to unzip it, then move the outreach-pilot folder to your Desktop so it's easy to find.

3
Run the installer

Double-click Install.command inside the folder.

⚠️ If Mac says "cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" — right-click the file → Open → Open anyway. This is normal for new apps.

Double-click Install.bat inside the folder.

⚠️ If Windows SmartScreen appears, click "More info" → "Run anyway". This is normal for new apps.

The installer sets up Python and all dependencies automatically. It takes about 2 minutes.

One more step before we can start — connect your LinkedIn.
3
Connect your LinkedIn account
Takes 2 minutes — no password needed, ever
~2 min
🛡️ Influentia never stores your LinkedIn password. We use a session cookie — the same way your browser stays logged in — which you can revoke any time by logging out of LinkedIn.
1
Open LinkedIn in Chrome and make sure you're logged in

Go to linkedin.com. If you're not logged in, do that first.

2
Open Chrome DevTools

Press F12 on Windows, or ⌘ + Option + I on Mac. A panel will open at the bottom or side of your browser.

3
Find the "li_at" cookie

In the DevTools panel, click Application (you may need to click the » arrow to find it). Then: Cookies → www.linkedin.com → find the row named li_at.

linkedin.com — DevTools → Application → Cookies
4
Copy the full value and paste it in the dashboard

Click on the li_at row, then double-click the value in the bottom panel to select all of it. Copy it.

Back in the Influentia dashboard, go to Settings → LinkedIn and paste it in the "LinkedIn Session Cookie" field. Click Save.

The dashboard will show a green "Connected" status when the cookie is valid.

Last step — let's set up your first campaign.

Set up & start your first campaign
Tell Influentia who to reach — it handles the rest
~3 min
1
Fill in your profile settings

Go to Settings → Profile. Enter your name, company, what you're selling, and your booking link (Calendly, etc). This is what Claude uses to write your messages — be specific about your offering.

2
Find your first leads

Go to Lead Finder. Describe your ideal customer in plain language — e.g. "Founders of B2B service businesses in Australia who post on LinkedIn". Click Search and Influentia will find matching LinkedIn profiles.

3
Review and approve leads

Go through the list and mark the ones that look good. You can remove anyone who isn't a fit. Quality over quantity — start with 20-30 leads.

4
Start outreach

Go to Outreach and click Start. Influentia will send up to 15 connection requests per day — safely within LinkedIn's limits. Check back daily to review replies and conversations.

⚠️ Don't increase the daily limit — 15/day is intentional to keep your account safe. LinkedIn monitors unusual activity.
5
Check replies in the Conversations tab

When prospects reply, Influentia responds automatically using Claude AI. You can jump in manually at any time by toggling "Manual mode" on a conversation.

🚀 That's it. Influentia runs in the background while you focus on your actual work.
🎉

You're live. Go get those meetings.

Influentia is running. Check your dashboard daily and reply to warm conversations — the rest is automated.
