What Revnu Asks Before It Acts

Revnu does the work either way. Six switches decide whether a kind of work waits for your yes (Ask Me First: in Review, or for a proposed workflow on its own page) or goes out on its own (Just Do It).

Your first sequence always waits for you. Spending money, replies to prospects, booking links, Reddit comments and gifts always wait too, whatever the switches say.

How do I get daily outreach going without approving every email?

Approve each sequence once. On Pro that's all it takes.

1. 1

   Open the sequence

   Open Leads and pick the campaign. Click the N Steps pill next to the campaign picker. It says Needs Approval while the sequence waits for you.

2. 2

   Read it and approve it

   Read each step. Ask Revnu in chat for changes until it reads right, then press Approve. With no inbox connected yet, its card in Review reads Log in and Approve and signs you in to Gmail as it approves. You can also just say yes in chat. Revnu starts the sequence for the leads on it within a few minutes.

3. 3

   Leave Emails on Just Do It

   That's the Pro default. From now on Revnu emails every lead it adds to that sequence, follow-ups included, without asking again. Each new sequence it writes asks you once, because Start Sequences starts on Ask Me First.

You still see replies to prospects. A one-off email can also wait in Review until the next weekday at 9am, so you can stop it.

How do I change what needs my approval?

1. 1

   Open the approval settings

   Open Settings in the sidebar and choose the Agent tab. What Needs Your Approval is the first card.

2. 2

   Flip a switch

   On means Just Do It. Off means Ask Me First. On a computer the label beside the switch says which one is set.

   The change saves the moment you flip it. Revnu follows it from the next thing it does.

Or just tell Revnu in chat. Copy one of these:

Ask me before every LinkedIn message.

You can send emails without asking me.

Revnu changes a switch when you ask for it in that message, so your settings stay exactly as you set them. Scheduled tasks leave them alone.

What does each setting cover?

A sequence on Just Do It still waits when it is your account's first sequence, when it mentions something on your Never Say list, or when it uses a field Revnu has no data for.

On Managed, the starting values depend on how your account was set up. The switches always show what is set now.

What always waits for my approval?

These wait in Review every time. No switch changes that.

• Anything that spends money or changes a budget: ad budgets, buying sending domains and inboxes, and gifts.

• Replies to prospects. Revnu drafts the reply. You send it.

• Booking links.

• Reddit comments.

The same list sits in the Always Asks First box at the bottom of the approval card.

Do I have to approve every email?

Not when Emails and Invites and Messages are on Just Do It, the defaults: then you approve per sequence, not per email or per batch. Approving a sequence approves every step in it, email and LinkedIn, for every lead Revnu adds to it later. Its steps don't ask again.

Three things can still ask message by message:

• Every email, while Emails is Ask Me First

• Every LinkedIn invite and message, sequence steps included, while Invites and Messages is Ask Me First

• Replies to prospects, always

If you set Emails to Ask Me First, each email of an approved sequence waits for you in Review, where a sequence's first emails waiting together show as one card with Send and Skip Today, and each follow-up is its own card.

Approved emails go out inside daily limits that keep your inbox healthy. On Pro, Revnu sends up to 50 emails a day and 20 an hour from each Gmail or Outlook inbox you connect, so an approved sequence goes out over hours or days. Connect more inboxes to send more. See How many emails Revnu sends a day.

How do I hand over routine sending but keep control of the risky items?

You choose by kind of work. A common setup:

1. Approve each sequence once. Start Sequences on Ask Me First, the Pro default, shows you who it's for and the copy.

2. Leave Emails and Invites and Messages on Just Do It, so an approved sequence's steps send on their own.

3. Check Review for one-off emails. Revnu holds each one there until the next weekday at 9am, at least 4 hours away, so you can stop it.

4. Leave Blog Posts on Just Do It if you're happy for posts to go live once they pass their checks, and Ad Tests on Ask Me First until you trust the ads.

Spend, prospect replies and booking links keep waiting for you no matter what. If anything looks wrong, say "pause" and every switch goes to Ask Me First. Resume Outreach puts them back as they were. See Pause or stop everything.

Questions about approvals

Why did my first sequence wait when Start Sequences is Just Do It?

Every account's first sequence waits for you, so you read the copy and say yes once before anything goes out in your name. Revnu shows you the first email and asks. Say yes in chat, or approve it on the N Steps pill as in the steps above. After you approve one sequence, Just Do It works as described for the next ones.

Does Revnu ask again when it changes a sequence I approved?

It depends on Start Sequences:

• Ask Me First: a rewrite of the copy waits for you again.

• Just Do It: the rewritten copy goes live without asking, unless it's your only approved sequence or it hits one of the cases above, such as a Never Say item. Until you have approved a second sequence, any copy change Revnu makes to the first one waits for you.

Any change to the words counts as a copy change, even adding one link or one sentence. Changing only who a sequence is for keeps your approval. When you edit a sequence yourself on its N Steps pill, saving it approves your version.

While a rewrite waits for you, the pill says Needs Approval, and nothing should send from that sequence, follow-ups to people already on it included, until you approve the new copy. Revnu should tell you when its change reset your approval. Approve the new version to start it again.

What happens to posts already waiting when I switch Blog Posts to Just Do It?

They get a publish time too. The moment you flip Blog Posts to Just Do It, every post and page edit already waiting in Review gets a publish time: the next weekday 9am your time, at least 24 hours from the switch. New posts after that publish as soon as they're ready. The card shows that time.

Before you flip the switch, open Review and dismiss any waiting post you don't want live. You can also approve the ones you like straight away.

Emails works the same way. Switching it to Just Do It gives one-off emails already waiting a send time, so check Review first.

Can Revnu test new emails without asking?

Yes, within a limit you set. When a sequence is losing, Revnu can try a new one on a small group without asking first. The limit is in Settings > Agent > Experiment Budget: by default each test reaches at most 50 new prospects, with up to 5 tests at once. Set New Prospects per Test to 0 and every new sequence waits for your approval. Your approval switches still apply to those test emails.

Will Revnu offer to stop asking me?

Only on some Managed accounts. On a Managed account whose switches have never been changed, Revnu may ask once, after you've approved a run of posts without changes: "want me to just publish them and tell you after?" Saying yes publishes posts (or sends reviewed emails) after a business-morning hold instead of asking each time. Saying no stops it asking for a long while.

On Pro, and on any account where someone has changed a switch, the switches are already yours: flip one yourself, or ask Revnu to. Revnu turns one on only when you ask.

What you'll see

• Work set to Ask Me First appears in Review and in the Needs You card on Home.

• Work set to Just Do It that Revnu holds first, such as a one-off email, still shows its card in Review with the time it will go out.

• What went out is on the Done tab in Review.
