Your first week with Allen
A day-by-day plan for the free trial: connect LinkedIn, train your voice, set your audience, post your first comments, and turn on Autopilot.
2 min read
You have seven free days. Here is how to spend them so you know by day seven whether Allen is for you.
Day 1: finish setup
Onboarding asks about your business, suggests an audience, and shows you a few real posts with comments written in your voice before you add a card. After that, do three things:
- Connect LinkedIn from Settings, Integrations. Allen cannot post for you until this is done.
- Open Train Allen and paste three to five comments you have actually written. Add any rules, like "never use exclamation points".
- Open Prospects and check the job titles Allen suggested. Remove any that are not your buyers and add the ones that are.
Day 1 or 2: post your first comments
Go to Today and press Run. Allen searches for posts, writes a comment on each, and shows them to you. Read one, edit anything you want, and press Post. Rate each comment thumbs up or down. Every rating and every edit teaches Allen your voice.
Day 2 or 3: turn on Autopilot
Once the comments sound like you, open Autopilot, pick the days and how many comments a day, and turn it on. Each morning Allen emails you the day's plan before anything posts. Remove any comment you do not like, or just let it run.
Day 3 to 7: watch for replies
Allen checks your comments for replies and emails you when someone answers. They land in your Pipeline with a DM already drafted. Copy it, open LinkedIn, and send it.
Before day 7
You get an email three days before the trial ends. If Allen is working for you, do nothing and your plan starts. If not, cancel from your Account page and you pay nothing.
If you want help
Book a setup call from the banner in your dashboard. A specialist walks through your targeting and voice with you, and your account gets 1,000 bonus credits after the call.
