Making introductions

Draft an intro in your voice, run a double opt-in, send it from your own Gmail, and track replies and outcomes.

The introduction flow

An introduction in NetworkOS goes from picking two people to a tracked outcome without leaving the app. The draft is written for you, it sends from your own inbox, and replies are tracked automatically.

  1. Pick the two people

    Choose who should meet whom — from a search result, an intro opportunity NetworkOS surfaced, or by picking them manually.

  2. Set the purpose

    Say why they should connect: hiring, a potential customer, fundraising, a partnership, or general networking. The reason shapes the draft.

  3. Choose the consent model

    Use a double opt-in (ask both sides before connecting them) or send directly when you already know both want it.

  4. Review the AI-drafted emails

    NetworkOS writes the emails in your voice. Read them, edit anything, and regenerate if you want a different tone.

  5. Send from your own Gmail

    Approved emails go out through your Gmail, so they come from you — not a third-party address.

  6. Track replies and outcomes

    NetworkOS watches the threads it started, nudges with follow-ups when appropriate, and records the outcome so your impact is visible.

The NetworkOS introductions dashboard listing each introduction with its client and network contacts (names redacted), purpose, and status — Draft, Pending response, or Intro sent — above summary stats for intros sent, awaiting response, and response rate.
Your introductions dashboard — every intro and its status in one place. (Contact names redacted.)

Consent models

You choose how much consent to gather before the intro goes out — pick the model that fits the relationship:

  • Double opt-in — ask both people first; the intro only sends once both say yes. The safest default.
  • Network-first — ask the person in your network first, then introduce.
  • Client-first — ask the company/client side first, then introduce.
  • Direct intro — skip the asks and send straight away, for when you already know both sides are keen.

A double opt-in protects both relationships: no contact information is shared until each side agrees.

Following up and tracking outcomes

After an intro is out, the introductions dashboard shows where each one stands — awaiting consent, sent, replied, or closed. NetworkOS can send timed follow-ups so nothing stalls, and you can record the result (they met, it led to a deal, no response) to build a track record of the value your network creates.

Starting several at once

From an AI search result you can select multiple people and kick off introductions for all of them, so a single search can turn into a batch of warm intros. To ask many people one question instead, use recommendation requests.
