Write the brief
A short paragraph describing WHAT to say — not the exact words.Good:
Congratulate them on the funding announcement. Reference the specific round and lead investor if visible. Offer a specific value angle relevant to their stage.Bad:
Hi {firstName}, saw that {companyName} raised! Congrats!
(Bad because it’s the literal template; Guhan wants intent + context.)
5
Optional: fetch recent post
For DM channels, opt in to fetching the prospect’s most recent LinkedIn post at send time. Guhan uses it as the opener. Costs 1 credit per fetch.
6
Optional: subject brief (for email)
A short prompt for the subject line. Guhan generates the actual subject per prospect.

Save
Template is now available in any Campaign’s sequence steps.
Using a template in a sequence
Any Send step → “Start from template” dropdown → pick your template. The step gets pre-filled with the template’s brief + channel. You can:- Use the brief as-is (recommended)
- Edit for this specific step (overrides the template)
- Change channels if the step’s channel is one of the template’s supported channels
Editing a template doesn’t retroactively change sequences that started from it. Each sequence step captures the brief at creation time.

Tips for writing effective briefs
Be specific about the opener
Be specific about the opener
Reference their post on {topic} > “Compliment their content.”“Congratulate the specific Series A + name-drop the lead VC if visible” > “Say congrats.”Include the value angle
Include the value angle
“Offer one specific insight from working with 3 other Series A founders in the same 90-day window” beats “Offer to help”.
Constrain length + format
Constrain length + format
“3 short paragraphs, no signature” or “1 sentence, question format” — Guhan will honor.
Specify the CTA
Specify the CTA
“Ask if they’d like a 90-second explainer video” — Guhan will end with that ask. Otherwise it’ll pick its own.
Anti-patterns to explicitly block
Anti-patterns to explicitly block
“Don’t use the phrase ‘I hope this finds you well’” or “No emoji” — Guhan strictly obeys.
Filtering the template picker
