Background
What Waalaxy actually does.
Waalaxy runs LinkedIn and email sequences from a Chrome extension, with prospect lists, templates, and a free tier that makes it easy to start.
It is the accessible end of the outreach market, and for a small team testing outbound it is a reasonable first tool.
Because it runs in the browser, campaigns generally only progress while your machine is on, and the messages are still cold.
