Getting Started
Learn how to set up your LeadTrain account and launch your first campaign.
Creating Your Account
Sign up at app.leadtrain.app using your email and password, or use Google OAuth for one-click registration. After signing up, you'll receive a confirmation email — click the verification link to activate your account. Once verified, you can log in and begin the onboarding process.
Onboarding Wizard
After your first login, the onboarding wizard guides you through initial setup. You'll provide basic business information such as your company name and industry, and the wizard will recommend the best subscription plan for your needs. Payment is handled securely through Stripe. Once your plan is active, LeadTrain automatically provisions your first sending domain and mailbox infrastructure so you can start sending quickly.
Setting Up Your Domain
Your first step is adding a sending domain for your outreach emails. You can purchase a new domain directly through LeadTrain, powered by Cloudflare and Namecheap, or connect an existing domain you already own by updating its nameservers. Either way, DNS records for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured automatically to ensure proper email authentication from day one.
Creating Your First Mailbox
Create a sending mailbox on your domain by entering a display name and email prefix. Optionally, use AI to generate a complete sender persona including a realistic name, job title, professional bio, and profile photo. Each new mailbox goes through a warmup period where sending volume gradually increases to build a strong sender reputation.
Creating Your First Campaign
Create your first campaign manually by specifying a name, timezone, send window, and active send days. Alternatively, use AI generation — describe your product, target market, and value proposition in plain language, and AI will build a complete multi-step email sequence for you. AI-generated campaigns typically include five to seven email steps with personalized subject lines and body content.
Adding Prospects
Add prospects to your campaign through several methods: upload a CSV file with contact data, enter contacts manually one at a time, select from your existing contacts database, or import directly from Lead Finder search results. Each prospect needs at minimum an email address. Additional fields like first name, last name, company, and job title improve personalization.
Activating Your Campaign
Before activating, assign one or more sending mailboxes to the campaign and review your email steps for accuracy. When you're ready, click Activate to start sending. Emails are dispatched automatically within your configured send window, respecting each mailbox's daily limit and warmup level. You can pause or modify the campaign at any time after activation.
Monitoring Results
Monitor campaign performance from the Dashboard and Campaign Overview pages. Track key metrics including open rates, reply rates, bounce rates, and individual prospect statuses. Check your Inbox regularly for replies, which are automatically classified by AI into categories like Interested, Not Interested, and Out of Office to help you prioritize follow-ups.
