Quickstart

This guide takes you through Ladel end to end: create your account, ask Haley for people, shortlist the ones you like, find an email address and send your first message. You need a work email address, or a Google or Microsoft account.

1. Create your account#

1. Open app.ladel.in

   Go to app.ladel.in/signup. You’ll see Create your Ladel account.

2. Sign up with Google, Microsoft or email

   Press Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft. On Name your workspace, type your company or team and your name, then press Create workspace. Or fill in your company or team, your name, your work email and a password of at least 10 characters, press Sign up, and enter the 6-digit code from the email.

3. You land on Home

   Signing up creates your workspace and makes you its owner. Home greets you by name and shows your projects once you have some.

2. Ask Haley for people#

The box on Home, Ask Haley to find someone…, is the fastest way in. Describe who you want the way you’d brief a colleague: the role, the place, and anything else that matters.

Press Enter. Haley shows what it is doing as it works, then answers in the chat and puts the people in a table on the right. The answer always gives the real number of matches, even when the table shows only the first few.

3. Shortlist the people you like#

1. Open a profile

   Click a name in the table. The profile shows the person’s career, and checks them against every filter in your search.

2. Shortlist them

   Press the bookmark on their row, or Looks good (key A) on the profile. If the chat isn’t in a project yet, Ladel asks Which project?. Pick one, or press New project. The chat joins that project, so everyone you shortlist from it goes to the same place.

3. Or shortlist them all at once

   Ask Haley in the chat:

   ›Shortlist the top 10

Your shortlist lives in the project: Projectsyour projectShortlist. Read more in Shortlists.

4. Find someone’s contact details#

On a profile, choose Email (1 credit), Phone (4 credits) or Both (5). The credits are yours. Anything this workspace already found shows again for free for 90 days. See Finding contact details.

5. Connect your mailbox#

Ladel sends email from your own Gmail or Outlook, so replies come straight to you and every email sits in your Sent folder. Go to Integrations and press Connect Gmail or Connect Outlook. Ladel only asks for permission to send, never to read your inbox. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar too if you want Haley to offer people your free times.

6. Send your first email#

• To one person: on their profile, press Write email, say what it’s about, and press Draft with Haley. Edit anything, then press Send. See Emailing one person.
• To the whole shortlist: on the shortlist, press Reach out to all. Haley writes a personal email for each person, and nothing goes until you approve it. See Reaching out to a shortlist.
