How long does it take to get LeadClaw up and running?

About 15 minutes. You complete onboarding, pick your email prefix, set your first goal, and your agent starts working from there.

Do I need to connect an email account to get started?

No. During onboarding you just pick an @leadclaw.io prefix, and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured automatically, no OAuth or mailbox connection needed.

What happens right after I set my first goal?

Your agent drafts campaigns under that goal and starts your cold email outreach automatically. Any ads or social posts it drafts wait for your approval before they spend or go live.

How much outreach volume can I expect on day one?

Volume is capped by your plan's daily limit: 10 emails a day on Trial, 50 on Pro, and 150 on Ultra.

Key Takeaway

You can go from sign-up to an active AI outreach campaign in about 15 minutes: complete onboarding, pick your @leadclaw.io email prefix, set your first goal with a target audience and channels, and let your agent start the cold email outreach it drafts, then monitor for hot lead alerts.

[ ] Review and confirm your profile

2. Choose Your Email Address

[ ] SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are pre-configured automatically

3. Set Your First Goal

[ ] Go to Goals and click New goal
[ ] Describe what you want to achieve (e.g., "Book 10 demo calls")
[ ] Define your target audience (industry + location)
[ ] Pick your channels (email, ads, social)
