# Warm Intro Paths & Personalized Message Generation

**Warm Intro Paths** surface existing connection routes between your team and contacts at a target account — enabling warmer outreach instead of cold contact.

Warm Intro Paths appear in the Contact Side Drawer across: **Org Chart**, **Whitespaces (Buyer Committee)**, **Opportunities (Contact Map)**, and **Relationship Network**.

#### Types of connections

| Connection type | Description                                                                      |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Past Colleague  | Both individuals worked at the same company during overlapping periods           |
| Alumni          | Shared educational institution (same graduation batch or overlapping enrollment) |
| LinkedIn        | Direct LinkedIn connection                                                       |
| Education       | Same school, non-overlapping years                                               |

#### Generating a personalized message

When you want to act on a warm intro path, click **Ask for Intro** or **Generate Message** to create an AI-written outreach message. Two use cases are supported:

1. **Warm Introduction Request** — a message to a colleague on your team asking them to introduce you to the target contact
2. **Direct Outreach** — a message directly to the target contact

The AI generates the message using the account context, contact profile, Whitespace or Opportunity context, and the connection path. You can **edit the message** before sending.

#### Sending the message

| Channel             | Status                                                             |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Slack**           | ✅ Available — send directly from AccountOS via the Slack connector |
| **Gmail / Outlook** | 🔜 Planned — currently copy/paste only                             |
| **LinkedIn**        | 🔜 Planned — currently copy/paste only                             |
