# Scout lead outreach

# Set up Scout, the lead-outreach drafter

> Install the Lead Outreach Drafter template, connect one channel, optionally connect a source/CRM, and teach Scout your offer and voice. Scout judges fit and drafts personalized outreach — you send it.

Scout is an outreach-drafting agent built as an Agent Hub template. It assesses whether a prospect is a real fit, then writes a personalized first-touch message and a short follow-up sequence in *your* voice. **Scout drafts, you send.**

<Tip>
  **Scout** is just the default name. On first run the agent asks what you'd like to call it —
  rename it, or keep "Scout."
</Tip>

## Before you install

* A running Nora instance with dashboard access.
* Your offer, ideal customer profile, and (ideally) one or two example messages to calibrate voice.

## Step 1 — Install from Agent Hub

Open **Agent Hub**, find **Lead Outreach Drafter Claw**, and click **Install**. See [Publish and install Agent Hub templates](/guides/agent-hub).

## Step 2 — Connect a channel

Scout needs **one** channel to send you drafts (Channels tab). This is separate from the *outreach* channels (email/LinkedIn/DM) you send prospects through.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link WhatsApp in Nora">
    Open the agent -> **Channels** tab -> **WhatsApp** -> **Link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the QR code">
    Complete the pairing prompt from WhatsApp. OpenClaw WhatsApp uses QR/link pairing, not a
    Phone Number ID and access-token form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the channel">Return when Nora shows the channel linked or connected.</Step>
</Steps>

Or use Telegram, Slack, Discord, or another OpenClaw channel from the catalog — see [Configure channels](/guides/channels).

## Step 3 — (Optional) Connect a source or CRM

Scout drafts fine from pasted prospect info — no integration required. To pull or store directly, connect one in the **Integrations** tab:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="LinkedIn" href="/guides/integrations/linkedin" icon="linkedin" arrow>
    Pull prospect context.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email" href="/guides/integrations/email" icon="envelope" arrow>
    Send approved drafts from your address.
  </Card>

  <Card title="HubSpot" href="/guides/integrations/hubspot" icon="database" arrow>
    Store outreach against CRM records.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Salesforce" href="/guides/integrations/salesforce" icon="cloud" arrow>
    Store outreach against CRM records.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Step 4 — Run the bootstrap

Send any first message. Scout introduces itself, offers to rename, gets your channel connected, then learns your offer, ICP, outreach channels, tone, and voice (paste a sample or two).

## What Scout will and won't do

* **Draft-only.** Scout never sends on its own.
* **Rejects weak fits** rather than writing low-signal outreach.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Scout says a source isn't connected, but I added it">
    Scout reads `integrations/NORA_INTEGRATIONS.md`, regenerated on sync. Re-check the
    **Integrations** tab.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Drafts don't sound like me">
    Paste a couple of real outreach messages you've sent — Scout calibrates voice from examples.
