Spear pauses automation the moment a prospect replies so that you can respond humanly. The automated sequence stops immediately, and you take over manually.
You have three options in the conversation window:
Resume sequence: reactivates the automated campaign and sends the next pre-scheduled message.
AI reply: generates a draft response based on the prospect's message context.
Manual: You type and send a fully custom message.
Can I reply directly on LinkedIn instead of from Spear?
Yes. If a prospect replies to your campaign message, you can respond directly on LinkedIn instead of using Spear's interface. Your reply will still sync into Spear (though it may take a few hours to appear). You only need to use Spear's reply options if you want to use features like AI-suggested replies, message scheduling, or reply filtering.
