# Reach out

> Your agent sends as you from your own inbox and accounts, reads every reply, books the calls, and keeps one do-not-contact list across every send.

How do I reach the first 100 people on my list? Your agent sends as you from your own inbox and accounts, within the [Mandate](https://startupbuilder.dev/business/nouns/mandate) you grant, and books every call a reply asks for.

```text title="Reach out · Ask"
Send the first 25 from my inbox on Tuesday, as me.
Warm a second inbox for more, and book every call a reply asks for.
```

```ts title="Reach out · SDK"
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'

await $.Mandate.authorize({ agent: 'workers/worker_3', verb: 'Message.schedule', for: 'people/dana', topics: ['first-customers'], limit: { perDay: 25 }, expiresAt: '2026-12-24' })   // send as you, 25 a day, for 60 days
await $.Mailbox.warm({ mailbox: 'mailbox_2', cap: 40 })   // a second inbox ramps to 40 a day; yours sends now
await $.Message.schedule({ message: 'message_3', at: '2026-10-27T14:00:00Z' })   // the first batch, from dana@leaseline.app
return await $.Meeting.book({ contact: 'contact_71', at: '2026-10-29T15:00:00Z' })   // Jordan at Cedar Row said yes: booked on your calendar
```

| Batch | The day’s sends, each with its first line and the evidence it quotes, approved in one sitting. |
| Reply | Interested, not now, wrong person or stop, read from the reply itself. |
| Meeting | Booked on your calendar when a reply says yes, with the thread attached. |

## Where and how it runs
| Where it works | How it runs | Connect once |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, X, Reddit | API · browser agent | Your inbox, LinkedIn and X sign-ins, once, in a live view. |

Your agent acts as you on every Venue you authorize. Where a Venue has no API, a browser agent signs in as you and does the steps.
