Instant Searches

Updated over 2 months ago

OttoMatey’s Instant Searches feature offers a faster, more efficient way to find prospects compared to traditional search methods. This guide will help you understand how Instant Searches work, their benefits, and some limitations to keep in mind.


What Are Instant Searches?

Instant Searches allow campaigns to trigger immediate prospect searches as soon as they go live, offering several advantages:

  • No Page Search Limits: The Pages Search limit is bypassed and hidden, giving you unrestricted access to find more prospects.

  • Non-Standard Hours: Searches run outside of standard operating hours, ensuring consistent progress even after-hours.

  • Goal-Oriented Searches: The system continues running searches until the campaign’s defined limits are met.

How to Activate Instant Searches

  1. Navigate to the Settings tab.

  2. Go to Account Limits.

  3. Enable the Instant Searches feature.

Benefits of Instant Searches

  • Time Efficiency: Speeds up the process of identifying and adding prospects to campaigns.

  • 24/7 Search: Keeps campaigns running even when you’re not actively working.

  • Limitless Potential: Eliminates constraints of traditional search limits, allowing campaigns to scale effectively.

Limitations of Instant Searches

While Instant Searches are highly effective, there are a few restrictions to note:

  1. Recruiter Search Links:

    • Not supported. These links will default to standard search methods.

  2. Campaigns with Event Invitations:

    • If your campaign includes an event invitation, the first step is to send a message. The search will adhere to the campaign’s message-sending limit.

  3. Closed Groups:

    • For campaigns targeting closed groups requiring membership approval, OttoMatey will automatically schedule periodic checks for approvals. Other than this, no additional restrictions apply.

Why Use Instant Searches?

By leveraging Instant Searches, you can ensure your campaigns are more agile and effective, saving time and effort while maximizing results.
