The Value of Manual Prospect Integration
Manually adding a prospect lets you quickly integrate high-value contacts — someone you just met at an event or found through a high-intent signal — into your automated outreach immediately.
Before getting started, make sure you have:
An active campaign ready to receive the prospect
The LinkedIn URL of the prospect
Add a prospect from a campaign
You can add a prospect straight from a standard or event campaign. The campaign you start from is filled in for you, so you don't need to select it again.
Step 1: Find the standard or event campaign you want to add the prospect to.
Step 2: Click the 3-dot menu on the campaign and select Add prospect.
Step 3: Paste the prospect's LinkedIn URL and click "Find". The campaign is already selected, so Step 4 below is done for you. Then continue with Step 5 below, depending on the campaign type.
Steps from the Prospects tab
Step 1: Go to the Prospects tab in your Spear dashboard.
Step 2: Click the '+ Add Prospect' button.
Step 3: Paste the prospect's LinkedIn URL into the field and click "Find". The system will verify the profile and pull available data.
Step 4: Click "Select campaign" and choose which campaign to add the prospect to.
Step 5: Depending on campaign type:
Custom Message campaigns — no trigger or message needed. Click the action button to finish.
Personalized Message campaigns — add a trigger and write a custom message, then:
• Add & send request — sends immediately
• Monitor — system finds a trigger and prospect appears in Suggestions later
Tips & Best Practices
Always review the message tone and placeholders before sending
Use this for contacts where you have a clear, recent reason to reach out (event meeting, specific intent signal)
Confirm the prospect fits the strategic goal of the campaign you're assigning them to
