Interceptly’s AI Intros use AI to personalize your outreach at the sequence level. It gathers relevant data on each prospect and automatically customizes your intro message.
AI Intros are designed to be used right after a prospect accepts your LinkedIn connection request, as the first message that starts the conversation.
🎓 To access AI Intros, you need an active Engage AI subscription. The Engage AI plan includes 500 monthly Interceptly credits for AI and data enrichment.
What Are AI Intros
AI Intros are AI-powered introduction messages that help you start conversations in a more personal way.
Instead of sending the same follow-up message to everyone, Interceptly uses the content from your campaign step as a base template and personalizes it with prospect-specific details.
Examples of what AI Intros can personalize include:
Role and seniority.
Industry and company context.
Relevant experience or background signals.
The goal is simple: help your first message after the connection feel more natural and relevant.
Why We Recommend Using AI Intros
AI Intros help you get more replies without adding manual research time.
They are especially useful because the first message after a connection is where most conversations either start or stall.
Using AI Intros can help you:
Avoid generic follow-ups that feel automated.
Create a more natural reason to start the conversation.
Increase the likelihood of a reply by making the message feel tailored to that person.
💡 Tip: AI Intros work best when your base template is short, friendly, and focused on one clear goal.

Best Practices
Keep your base template short so personalization is clear and easy to read.
Use AI Intros only as the first message after a connection is accepted.
Use one clear question or call-to-action at the end of the intro.
Turn on approvals if you are testing a new audience or offer.
🚨 Important: AI Intros are most effective as the first message after a connection. Do not use them for later steps in the sequence.
