Every Outreach Agent goes through the same pre-launch verification. Guhan does most of it automatically (won’t let you launch if something is missing) but a few require your judgment.

​
The automatic checks

Guhan won’t let you launch until:
1

A sequence is published

You saved + published a sequence (not just a draft).
2

The graph is valid

Every node has all required fields; no orphans; no cycles that never exit.
3

At least one sender is attached for each channel

LinkedIn steps have a LinkedIn sender assigned; email steps have an email sender; etc.
4

The audience List has at least one prospect

Empty List = nothing to send to. Wait for your Watchlist Agent to land some, then launch.
5

Every sender is active + healthy

No senders in “needs reauth” state. If one broke, fix it first.
If any of these fail, the Launch button shows disabled with a hover tooltip explaining what’s missing. Fix, retry.

​
The judgment checks

Guhan doesn’t force these but they save you from bad launches. Take 60 seconds:
On the sequence detail page, pick any prospect from your List → click Preview. Guhan generates a real draft against their profile.Read it:
  • Does it sound like YOU?
  • Does it reference something specific to this prospect?
  • Is the CTA clear and low-friction?
If not, iterate on the sequence brief before launching.
Sender detail row → Schedule. Are your active hours correct in the sender’s timezone?A common gotcha: your LinkedIn account’s timezone is set to LA but you actually want to send during New York hours. Fix the schedule → save → relaunch.
Are your daily caps at LinkedIn-safe levels?Defaults are fine. Only widen if you’ve been running the account 60+ days without any warning banners.
Watchlist Agent detail → Filtered accordion → “Competitor employee” rows.If you see legitimate competitors’ employees getting filtered out, that’s working correctly. If a legitimate prospect is being filtered out because their company URL matches a competitor URL you added, remove that competitor from Brand & Voice.
Settings → Do Not Contact. Make sure your team’s own domain is on there so you don’t outreach yourself.

​
The 24-hour launch health check

After you launch, come back 24 hours later:
1

Check sends went out

Outreach Agent detail → Overview → Sent count > 0? Good.Sent count = 0 after 24 hours usually means:
  • Sender wasn’t in an active hour when the sequence started (wait, it’ll fire tomorrow)
  • Sender got restricted (check for banners)
  • All prospects skipped the first step (check the sequence for a Branch that filtered everyone out)
2

Check for delivery errors

Overview → Not sent count. Common reasons:
  • LinkedIn couldn’t send invite (already connected, invite limit hit)
  • Email bounced (invalid address)
  • WhatsApp declined (no valid phone)
These are per-prospect issues, not blockers.

Read the first 3 replies

If replies are coming in, open the Inbox. Read the first 3.
  • Are they meaningful engagement (yes/no/question)?
  • Or are they OOO / autoresponders / obvious spam-filters?
A 5%+ reply rate with real engagement = you’re on track. Replies but all OOO = something’s off with timing / audience.
4

Spot-check message quality

Timeline of any prospect → read the actual message that got sent.Did Guhan personalize it? Does it match your brand? Anything embarrassing?If not — pause the agent, iterate on the sequence + brief, republish, resume.

​
When to relaunch

You can pause + resume anytime. Common relaunch triggers:
  • Reply rate lower than expected → tweak the message brief
  • Audience Watchlist Agent finding wrong people → tighten filters
  • Sending window too narrow → widen the hours
  • Sender got restricted → fix reauth + resume
Every pause/resume is free. Iterate freely.

Sending safety

Daily caps + warm-up + windows.
