# First Warm Introduction Draft

> Inspect a real target and connector, then save an introduction draft without sending it.

This guide covers the verified draft workflow only.

> Last verified against current dashboard source on August 11, 2026.

## Prerequisites

* You are signed in to Introd.
* At least one real contact is visible in [People Search](https://app.getintrod.ai/search/people).
* The target has an available connector or path that you can review.
* You know why the introduction is relevant and appropriate.

## 1. Find the target

1. Open [People Search](https://app.getintrod.ai/search/people).
2. Search by the target's name, title, or company.
3. Select the target row.

If no result appears, verify your imported counts in [Network Setup](https://app.getintrod.ai/setup-network). Do not create a target from guessed identity data.

## 2. Review the path

1. Choose **View Paths**.
2. Review the proposed connector, relationship strength, TrustRank, confidence, and available evidence.
3. Confirm that names, roles, and companies match the people you intend to involve.

If Introd reports no verified path or that evidence is still syncing, stop this attempt. Choose another target or add more authorized relationship data.

## 3. Prepare the draft

1. Choose **Request intro** for the connector you reviewed.
2. Confirm the target and connector at the top of the composer.
3. Edit the subject.
4. Rewrite the message so the connector can understand the relevance and decline comfortably.
5. Remove any context that the connector is not allowed to forward.

## 4. Save without sending

Choose **Save draft**.

**Expected result:** Introd reports **Intro draft saved**. Open [Introductions](https://app.getintrod.ai/introductions) to review the saved record.

<Warning>
  Saving a draft does not email the connector, send a LinkedIn message, schedule delivery, or contact the target. This guide does not treat workflow status changes as proof of delivery.
</Warning>

## Draft checklist

* Target identity and company are correct.
* Connector identity is correct.
* The message explains why the conversation is relevant now.
* The connector has an easy way to decline.
* The message contains no confidential or unapproved information.
* You have a separate, approved plan for any outbound delivery.

## Failure states

| What you see                       | Recovery                                             |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Could not load synced people       | Confirm your Introd session and reload People Search |
| No verified warm path              | Continue sync or choose another target               |
| Connector not set                  | Return to the path and select a real connector       |
| Target not set                     | Start from a saved contact in People Search          |
| Draft save error                   | Copy the message, refresh the session, and retry     |
| Draft not visible in Introductions | Clear filters and search by target or connector name |

## Current limitations

* TrustRank and confidence are ranking signals, not outcome probabilities.
* Shared community or company context is not proof that an introduction is appropriate.
* The product can store and organize workflow status without proving that a message was delivered outside Introd.
