Messages

The Messages page shows all your AI-generated outreach organized into three tabs: Drafts, Scheduled, and Sent.

How Drafting Works

Select leads anywhere in Starlight and click Draft Messages with AI to open the fullscreen Outbound builder. There you:

1. Write a brief — describe the goal of the campaign in your own words (or let AI enhance your brief)

2. Choose how it sounds — pick the voice, length, and send shape for this campaign

3. Optionally enable Research — Starlight searches the web for each recipient's background, company news, and recent activity

4. Preview and approve — review a draft for every recipient, then approve to send the batch to Messages

Drafts are never sent automatically — every message waits for your approval.

Reviewing Drafts

Each draft appears in the Drafts tab for your review. You can:

• Edit the subject line and body before sending
• Draft Again to regenerate with new direction
• Approve to move it to the Scheduled tab
• Reject to discard it
• Pin important leads for priority review

Scheduled Sending

Approved messages are automatically scheduled during optimal business hours:

• Tuesday–Thursday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
• Monday: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Friday: 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
• Weekends: No sends

Send times use each recipient's timezone when it's known, so your message lands during their workday — not yours. National holidays in the recipient's country are skipped, and messages are staggered so they don't all land at the same moment.

Multi-Channel Support

Messages can be sent via email, LinkedIn, or X, depending on the campaign's send shape. Email messages require a connected Gmail or Outlook account. LinkedIn and X messages are sent in one click through the Starlight Chrome extension. When a campaign opens with a connection request, sending that request automatically moves the follow-up Message to the Scheduled tab — it shows Waiting for connection acceptance and unlocks to send once the prospect accepts.
