What Revnu Asks Before It Acts

Revnu does the work either way. Six switches decide whether a kind of work waits for your yes in Review (Ask Me First) 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 your first 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 Start Sequences 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. New sequences it writes go live on their own too.

You still see one-off emails, LinkedIn sends outside a sequence and replies to prospects, unless you switch those to Just Do 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.

   Enlarge

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 one-off emails without asking me.

Revnu changes a switch only when you ask for it in that message. It never turns one on by itself, and a scheduled task can't change one either.

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?

No. With Start Sequences on Just Do It, the Pro default, 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:

• Emails outside a sequence, while One-Off Emails is Ask Me First

• LinkedIn invites and messages outside a sequence, while those switches are Ask Me First

• Replies to prospects, always

If you set Start Sequences to Ask Me First, LinkedIn steps of an approved sequence still send on their own. Its emails from your own Gmail or Outlook follow One-Off Emails instead, so with that on Ask Me First each email waits for you.

Approving doesn't lift the sending limits. 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?

There's no "send the ones you're confident about" switch. You choose by kind of work instead. A common setup:

1. Approve your first sequence once.

2. Leave Start Sequences on Just Do It, so new and improved sequences go live and their steps send on their own.

3. Keep One-Off Emails, Connection Requests and Messages on Ask Me First, so anything written outside a sequence still comes to you.

4. Leave Blog Posts on Just Do It if you're happy to stop a post during its hold, 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 back to Ask Me First. 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 the same hold as a new one: it publishes at the next weekday 9am your time, at least 24 hours from the switch. 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.

One-Off Emails works the same way. Switching it to Just Do It gives 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 2 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, when your record clears the bar: "you've approved 12 of the last 13 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, there is no offer. You flip the switch yourself, or ask Revnu to. Revnu never turns one on by itself.

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 still shows its card in Review, with the time it will go out when Revnu holds it first.

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