Make a warm introduction
Connect two people in your network — nobody's contact info goes anywhere until both of them say yes.
Connect two people in your network by email, with both sides agreeing before anything gets sent.
Why it matters
A good introduction is one of the most valuable things you can do for two people at once, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Send it without asking first, and you've spent someone's trust on a meeting they didn't want. Relatable's introductions require both people to opt in before any names or emails cross paths, so the intro you make is one they actually asked for.
That matters for you too. Every introduction you make either builds or spends your reputation as a connector. A double-opt-in intro is one both sides showed up for on purpose, which makes the conversation that follows genuinely warmer than a cold "meet my friend" email.
How it works
You pick the two contacts you want to connect. Relatable emails each of them separately, asking whether they're open to being introduced. Once both say yes, Relatable sends the combined intro email with both of them on it, so you don't have to write it yourself. If either one declines, nothing goes out.
How to use it
- On the web: open Messages and go to Introductions. Choose the two contacts you want to connect. Introductions start from this page, not from a contact's own profile.
- Relatable sends each person a request asking if they're open to the connection.
- Wait for both to respond. The Introductions page shows which ones are still awaiting approval.
- Once both approve, the intro email sends automatically with both contacts on it.
- Check the Introductions page to see the introductions you've made and their status.
Good to know
- Nothing gets shared beyond the initial request until both people have said yes.
- If either person declines, the introduction stops there.
- Introductions go out by email, so both contacts need an email address on file.
- An introduction shows up in the activity for both contacts, so you can see it happened.
