Your Agent is the control center for all outreach in SalesMind AI. This guide shows you what an Agent is. It then walks through how to set up every part: senders, team members, knowledge base, integrations, and personas.
What is an Agent?
An Agent is the top-level unit in SalesMind AI. Think of it as a box. It holds all you need to run outreach for one group. That group can be:
- Your whole company
- A specific department (e.g., Sales vs. Recruitment)
- Or, if you are an agency, one of your clients
For example, your sales team can use one Agent. Your recruitment team can use another. Agencies often use one Agent per client.
Inside the Agent, you set up everything that shapes outreach: senders, team roles, company knowledge, integrations, and personas. Set it up well, and the AI has all it needs to run good campaigns.
1. Senders
A Sender is the identity that does the outreach. It is most often a LinkedIn account. One sender = one person's identity (first name, last name, contact info).
You can add many senders to one Agent. Each sender uses the Agent's settings by default. You can change them at the campaign level. Over time, senders will work with channels beyond LinkedIn too.
⚠️ Warning: In languages where gender or tone affects writing (French, Thai, etc.), make sure sender details are correct. The AI uses this info when it writes messages.
👉 Note: For step-by-step setup, see the How a Teammate Becomes a Sender article.
2. Team Members and Roles
Each Agent has a list of members. Each one has a role. Roles like Owner, Admin, and Member control what each person can see and do. You can invite, edit, or remove members at any time.
⚠️ Warning: You cannot delete or move the Owner role.

3. Information (Knowledge Base)
The Agent's info hub is what the AI uses during chats. Keep it current with:
- Services and features (e.g., AI Lead Finder, White Label)
- Competitor LinkedIn URLs
- Sales decks, case studies, and testimonials
- Booking links and social media pages
This makes sure the AI always has the right link to share — a blog post for early nurturing, or a demo link when a lead is ready.
💡 Tip: The fuller your base, the better the AI works. Add case studies, pricing pages, and customer logos.
4. Settings and Integrations
Agents connect to outside tools to keep SalesMind AI in sync with your sales stack:
- Outreach Settings — Set schedules, inactive days, and time zones.
- CRM Integration — Connect one CRM per Agent (LeadConnector, HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.). The AI can build deals and tasks, and sync contacts on its own.
- Contact Enrichment — Use built-in partners or SalesMind AI's unlimited enrichment to fill in missing emails and phone numbers.
- Zapier and Automations — Connect Zapier from the integrations section to link SalesMind AI with other tools in your stack.
5. Personas
Personas tell the agent who you want to reach. They define your ideal customer segments. Each Agent can hold many personas. Each persona uses 36 details (job title, seniority, industry, company size, tools, pain points, buy criteria, and more). The AI uses them to find the right leads, score each one, and write the right message.
Be sharp. "B2B SaaS Founder" or "Sales Director at a 50–200 person company" works much better than "decision makers." Sharp personas make the AI sound right.
You don't need to update personas often. But refine them as campaign data comes in. If CEOs reply better than Owners, update the persona to reflect that. Better targeting means better AI work.
💡 Tip: Use real campaign data to refine personas over time. Small tweaks to job titles and seniority levels can lift reply rates.
