Before running your first campaign, complete these three setup steps in the Settings tab.

Configure your AI Provider

Wingmano uses AI to generate personalized connection notes and follow-up messages. Choose your preferred provider and enter your API key.

Supported providers:

• 1Go to the Settings tab in the side panel.
• 2Select your provider from the dropdown.
• 3Paste your API key in the field below. The key is stored encrypted in your browser — it never leaves your device.
• 4Select the model you want to use (e.g. gpt-4o, claude-sonnet-4-5).

Set up your Sender Profile

Your sender profile tells the AI who you are, so it can write messages in your voice and with your context.

• 1In Settings, find the Sender Profile section.
• 2Fill in your name, role, company, and a brief description of what you do and why you reach out to people.
• 3The more detail you provide, the more personalized the AI-generated messages will be.

Configure Safety Limits

These limits protect your LinkedIn account from being flagged for unusual activity.

A Lead Pool is a collection of LinkedIn profiles you want to reach out to. You create pools by extracting profiles directly from LinkedIn search results.

From LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Sales Navigator offers the most powerful filtering (industry, company size, seniority, geography, etc.) and is the recommended source for lead extraction.

• 1Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator and run a people search with your desired filters.
• 2Open the Wingmano side panel and go to the Pools tab.
• 3Click "New Pool", give it a descriptive name (e.g. "Real Estate Agents - Milan"), and click Start Extraction.
• 4Wingmano will automatically paginate through the search results and collect all profiles. A progress counter shows how many leads have been found.
• 5Click "Stop" at any time, or let it run until all pages are processed. The pool status will change to "Ready" when complete.

From LinkedIn Standard Search

If you don't have a Sales Navigator subscription, you can extract leads from LinkedIn's standard People search.

• 1Go to LinkedIn → Search → People and apply your filters.
• 2Open the Wingmano side panel → Pools tab → New Pool → Start Extraction.
• 3The process works the same as Sales Navigator, but with fewer filtering options.

A Workflow is the sequence of actions Wingmano will perform on each lead. You define it once and reuse it across multiple campaigns.

• 1Go to the Workflows tab and click "New Workflow".
• 2Give the workflow a name (e.g. "Connect + Follow-up").
• 3Add steps one by one using the step builder. Each step runs in order for every lead.
• 4Click Save when done.

Available Steps

A Campaign connects a Lead Pool with a Workflow and executes it automatically.

• 1Go to the Campaigns tab and click "New Campaign".
• 2Give it a name and select the Lead Pool you want to use.
• 3Select the Workflow to apply.
• 4Set the daily limit for this campaign (how many leads to process per day).
• 5Click "Start Campaign". Wingmano will begin processing leads according to your workflow and daily limit.

Campaign States

Before any AI-generated message is sent, it lands in the Approval Queue for your review. This is one of Wingmano's key safety features — nothing is sent without your explicit approval.

• 1Open the Campaigns tab and look for the Approval Queue section, or check the notification badge on the tab.
• 2For each pending message, you'll see the lead's name, profile context, and the AI-generated text.
• 3Edit the message if needed — you can freely modify the AI-generated text before sending.
• 4Click "Approve" to queue the message for sending, or "Reject" to skip this lead.

Track the status of every lead directly in the Campaigns tab. Each lead shows its current stage in the workflow.

Wingmano is designed to operate safely, but following these guidelines will further protect your LinkedIn account.

Connection Request Limits

• Stay at or below 20 connection requests per day
• Never exceed 100 per week
• If your account is new or inactive, start at 5–10/day for the first two weeks

Keep Chrome Open

The extension needs Chrome to be running to execute workflows. You don't need to actively use the browser — it can run in the background while you work on other things.

Use Working Hours

Configure working hours in Settings so Wingmano only runs during business hours in your time zone. LinkedIn activity at 3am looks suspicious.

Don't Run Multiple Campaigns Simultaneously

If you run two campaigns at once, their daily limits stack. Always make sure the combined total stays within your configured limits.

Personalize Your Messages

Generic messages get lower acceptance rates and may be reported as spam. Always review AI-generated messages and add personal touches where possible.
