The integration of AI technology into your outreach strategy can significantly enhance your campaign's effectiveness.

In this article we will show you step by step how to connect your Open AI and start using AI variables.

To start using AI variable feature, you first need to connect your Open AI.

  1. Go to Settings ๐Ÿ‘‡

2. Head to the Integrations section and click on Connect next to Open AI

You will be then guided through the set up process:

If your Open AI hasn't been set up yet, please check the following steps ๐Ÿค—

1. Add Credits to Your OpenAI Key

To use the OpenAI API, youโ€™ll first need to purchase credits. Hereโ€™s how:

  • Go to the OpenAI billing page: OpenAI Billing Overview

  • Add a payment method: Ensure you have a valid payment option linked.

  • Purchase credits: Click on "Buy Credits" to add funds to your account.

  • Add credits as needed: Make sure your balance is sufficient to cover your anticipated usage.

โ—๏ธโ—๏ธโ—๏ธ Important Note: If your usage page shows $0.00/$20 limit, it indicates that you can spend a maximum of $20, not that you have $20 available. Always check your billing page for your actual balance.

2. Use Your Key in lemlist

Now that you have credits, you can integrate your API key into lemlist:

  • Enter your OpenAI API key: Go to the settings in lemlist and input your key.

  • Follow the tutorial: we have provided a step-by-step guide for adding your key. Alternatively, you can access your API keys directly through OpenAI API Keys.

Once you have completed all these steps, you are ready to use your Open AI! ๐Ÿ˜

You can now head over to a campaign where you want to use the feature, click on the enrichment section and choose the AI variables.

You will be asked to create a new variable and name it however you want and then you can use your prompts to clean date, create Icebreakers, use their company description in your emails and many more. Check out all amazing things this feature can do here!
