Getting started

Review your mission before you start

Choose the direction and the level of involvement that fits you.

You'll leave with a clearer next step you can put into practice.

Confirm the direction#

Review the objective, selected profiles and locations. You can bring a known audience or ask Kite to recommend one from your objective and business context. Make sure the direction matches the relationship you want to create.

Confirm required criteria#

An Introduction needs agreement to talk and nothing on record ruling the person out. Carry unconfirmed required facts into the call. Write the criteria so you can recognise whether they have been met. Avoid turning every nice-to-have into a requirement.

Confirm your involvement#

Kite's configured permissions, review/start controls, suppression, connection readiness, funding requirements and usage limits remain in force. Run it is available on all paid plans, including existing $99 plans, and excludes Free. Run it is the paid default, applied once; your later changes are kept. Paying does not start a mission. Automatic starts are a separate choice, and a setting not yet shown in your workspace is not on.

Review saved messaging and the decisions you want to approve. Choose your involvement in Kite; a guide or agent recipe cannot grant permission on your behalf.

Start in Kite#

Use the actual review and start flow in Kite when the mission is ready. A draft brief or agent-prepared direction is preparation. Confirm what will happen before activating work.

Your next step#

If a requirement prevents the mission from starting, follow the troubleshooting guide. Once Introductions arrive, read the qualification and handoff guide.
