How to send approved email sequences to a list of researched accounts with Franco

Import a CSV of accounts with one sourced observation each and let Franco send your signed-off sequence word for word.

Short answer: Install with pipx install franco, then run franco init ~/franco && cd ~/franco; then set outreach mode to templates in Franco.local.yaml and define your campaign steps with the merge fields; run franco import --template --kind accounts > accounts.csv and fill in one row per account. All steps.

outbound-email. Franco sends real email from your mailbox; follow the compliance settings (footer, postal address, opt-outs) and local anti-spam law.

Who it is forA founder whose outbound copy has been approved and must go out exactly as written.

The problemSending a multi-step sequence by hand, on business days, with replies and opt-outs tracked, eats hours each week.

The outcomeA running sequence per account from your own mailbox, with no model writing the emails.

What you need first

  • Python 3.11 or newer
  • Claude Code logged in on a Pro or Max plan, or an opt-in Codex runtime on a ChatGPT plan
  • A mailbox to send from (Google Workspace recommended) and email verifier keys
  • Chromium, installed with franco install, for LinkedIn and JavaScript-heavy sites

Steps

  1. Install with pipx install franco, then run franco init ~/franco && cd ~/franco
  2. Set outreach mode to templates in Franco.local.yaml and define your campaign steps with the merge fields
  3. Run franco import --template --kind accounts > accounts.csv and fill in one row per account
  4. Check the file with franco import accounts.csv --dry-run, then import it
  5. Start the loop with franco run; new campaigns start in preview

Prompt for your agent

Set up GortexAI/franco in approved copy mode: create the home folder, add my campaign <steps> to franco.local.yaml, validate <accounts.csv> with a dry run and stop before anything is sent so I can review the preview.

Caveat. This card is written from the GortexAI/franco README, not from a test run by Deduped. Before you start, make sure you have Python 3.11 or newer. Check the repo for newer instructions before you rely on these steps.
