Connect the inbox you send from

Select people in the Contacts table and enroll them in a sequence in one go.

Find people fast and show only the columns you care about.
Work a contact from their profile
Everything about one person: activity, sequences, calls, tasks, and quick actions.

Duplicate prevention and data hygiene
How Artra avoids double contacts and double sends, and the switches that control it.
Custom fields
Extra columns you import or add on Research stay on the contact and work as merge fields.

Add an AI-written email step
Let Artra write each email per contact, in your voice, using what it knows about them — no template needed.

Sequences are not only email. Mix in calls, LinkedIn touches, video replies, texts and manual tasks.

Merge fields like {firstName} and {company} fill in per contact when a step sends.
Scheduling messages and delays
How the wait between steps, the send window and weekends decide when each step goes.

How many emails go out a day, when, and how sure Artra must be before it uses an email it found.

Teach Artra your pitch and voice
AI Setup is what Max and AI email steps draw on: what you sell, how you write, and which signals to open with.

Where AI shows up, what it reads, and which model writes for you.
Writing effective AI prompts
Prompts for a whole draft and for an AI block inside a template.

When AI emails are written
AI steps are written when they come due, with the latest signals, and wait for review if you ask.
Import sent emails for training
Let the AI read emails you already wrote so drafts sound like you.
Add example emails
Hand-pick a few emails that are exactly how you want to sound.
Create writing rules
Short rules injected into every AI request: style, tone, content, format, structure.

Install the Chrome extension
The Artra extension is your hands on LinkedIn. It runs the LinkedIn steps in your sequences from your own logged-in browser and opens Max beside any page.

One sign-in links the extension to your Artra account. It uses your normal Artra login, nothing LinkedIn-specific.
