Get outreach ideas for a contact

Get two ready-to-send outreach ideas for any contact, grounded in your real history with them, not generic filler.

Recorded August 2026Relatable changes fast — what you see in the app may be a little ahead of this video. The written steps below stay current.

Every contact profile can hand you two outreach ideas already written for that person, grounded in what you actually know about them.

Why it matters

Knowing you should reach out to someone is the easy part. Knowing what to say is where it stalls. Outreach ideas remove that second problem — they look at what's real (a past conversation, an upcoming birthday, a shared interest) and turn it into an opening line and a full message, so you're never staring at a blank page for someone you care about.

How it works

Relatable generates two different outreach ideas for a contact: each with a subject line, a one- or two-sentence summary of the angle, a full email body, and a shorter version sized for a text message. The ideas only use things Relatable actually knows about the contact — recent conversations, an upcoming special date, shared topics or companies, notes you've written — never an invented event or fact. Ask again later and it avoids repeating ideas it's shown you recently.

How to use it

  1. On the web: open a contact's profile and look for Outreach Ideas, or a "See Outreach Ideas" prompt on a suggestion row on your dashboard.
  2. Read through the two ideas. Each shows a subject, a short summary of the angle, and the full message.
  3. Use one as-is by sending it straight from there, or copy it into the composer to tweak first.
  4. On mobile, the same ideas are available, sized for a text message so they drop straight into a conversation.

Good to know

  • Ideas need at least one real signal to work from — a location, company, recent interaction, note, special date, or topic. A very thin contact may not get ideas yet.
  • Ideas are grounded in your actual history with the person; if nothing new has happened since the last set, expect variations rather than a new angle.
  • The text-length version is meant for mobile — same idea, shorter.
  • Nothing sends automatically. You choose whether to use an idea, edit it, or ignore it.

Ask Whiz

  • "Give me something to say to Patti — it's been a while"
  • "Who should I follow up with this week?"
