How to use a purchased Telegram account for outreach

A purchased account starts bringing conversations after a calm start, not on the day you buy it. The first hour goes to checking the order, the first days to preparation and a gradual increase in messages per day. This guide covers the rules PULSAR applies to every account and the part that is up to you.

The first hour: check the order

You have 1 hour from delivery to check the whole order, so start right away. Everything happens on the Accounts page.

1. Make sure the account is connected. A purchased account appears in your list on its own. Its card should show no connection errors, and the account profile (name, photo, bio) should open. If the account does not connect or the profile does not open, message support at @GoPulsarSupportBot within that hour and include the account number.
2. Turn on protection. The shield icon "Protect the account" on the card sets a cloud password and a recovery email, then PULSAR shows you the password. Store it somewhere safe. If the card already has the key icon "Show cloud password and email", protection is on: open it and save the password as well.
3. Close extra sessions only from Pulsar. The accounts may still have sessions of our software: they appear during re-authorization and conversion. You can close them a few hours after purchase with the «Close other sessions» button on the account card in Pulsar; the Pulsar session stays. Do not use «Terminate all other sessions» in the Telegram app on another device: it also closes the Pulsar session, and the account stops working in the service. The card will show "Session ended in Telegram", and you will need to log in again with a code.
4. Log in from your phone calmly. To open the account in the Telegram app, request a login code and click "Fetch code from Telegram" on the card: the code arrives in the PULSAR session and appears right there. One device of your own is enough. Frequent logins from new devices look to Telegram like a change of owner.
5. Never run the session in two places. Do not open a session file downloaded from PULSAR in another program while the account is connected here. Telegram ends a session that runs in two places at once, and you will have to log in again.

Change the profile step by step

You can change the name, photo, bio and username right in PULSAR, in the account profile. Do not change everything in the first hours: an account whose name, photo, username and bio all changed within minutes looks resold. Change one field at a time with breaks, ideally during preparation, before the account writes to new people. The same place lets you hide the phone number from everyone except contacts.

Preparation: 10 days to full load

On the Personal, Team and Agency plans a new account does not start with cold messages. For ten days PULSAR runs it like a regular Telegram user:

• chats with partner accounts during the day, with breaks of several hours;
• subscriptions to popular channels: about ten during the first week, a few at a time;
• reading channels several times a day and occasional reactions to posts;
• starting a few popular official bots.

All activity runs from 9:00 to 22:00 Moscow time, with an individual offset for each account; at night the account stays quiet. Cold messages open up gradually:

The numbers never exceed the account's own daily limit: without Premium the ceiling stays at 10 even on day ten. An account that sat idle for more than 30 days takes longer: 12 days, the first five of them without cold messages.

A purchased account keeps the state it had with us: if preparation was already under way, it continues from the same day, and the Incubator page shows the current day. The Starter plan has no preparation, so the account is ready to work right away.

Telegram Premium: 15 messages a day instead of 10

An account's daily limit in PULSAR depends on Telegram Premium: 10 outgoing messages a day without it, 15 with it. A paid subscription tells Telegram the account is used seriously, so PULSAR trusts such an account with more.

PULSAR detects the subscription on its own. The status refreshes when the account connects, and right after you buy Premium, opening the account profile on the Accounts page refreshes it. When the subscription ends, the limit goes back to 10.

Premium pays off once the account has finished preparation and outreach runs every day: the same day gives 5 more first messages, which means one and a half times more new conversations from one account.

Gradual start: the first days of outreach

Even a ready account does not jump to the full limit. Gradual start counts days from the account's first cold message:

While preparation is running, both schedules apply and the lower number wins. Gradual start progress is shown on the account card: "Day N of …" and "Today" with sent and allowed messages. You can turn gradual start off there, but a purchased account needs it more than any other. The Starter plan has no gradual start: it includes only 10 cold messages in total.

Daily budget: first messages and reminders together

10 or 15 messages a day is everything the account writes to people who have not replied yet. Reminders come out of the same budget.

• One reminder per person: if they stay silent for a day after our message, the account writes once more, from the same account. Another day of silence and the lead moves to "No response".
• No more than 5 reminders per account per day, and each one takes a slot in the daily budget.
• Replies to people who wrote to you are not part of this budget.
• The counter resets at midnight Moscow time.

Pauses between messages and working hours

PULSAR never sends messages in a burst. At least 25 minutes pass between two cold messages from one account, and the day's messages are spread across the campaign's working hours. By default that is 10:00 to 17:00 Moscow time; you can change the hours in the campaign settings. If a number is not on Telegram, the next lookup starts after 1-3 minutes, so the account never checks numbers in a row.

A simple rule follows: do not write to new people from this account by hand while outreach is running. Telegram counts manual messages together with outreach, while PULSAR does not see them and cannot include them in the daily budget.

The first message: short, personal, no links

Telegram looks at the content of messages, not only at their number. PULSAR checks every first message before sending and will not send text that contains:

• links, website addresses, email, @usernames or phone numbers;
• emoji or several words in capitals in a row;
• more than one exclamation mark, long dashes, lists or formatting;
• invented facts or figures about the recipient's company.

Keep your campaign script in the same spirit: address the person by name, one thought about how you can help this particular company, and an easy question at the end. Links, prices and files fit later, once the person has replied and asked for details.

If Telegram has paused the account

It happens even with careful work. PULSAR stops outreach from this account right away and sends you a notification. New leads of the campaign keep going out from its other accounts, if it has any.

1. Wait. The first check happens after one day, in more serious cases after two days.
2. Let PULSAR check. PULSAR asks the official Telegram bot whether the account is free, and if not, checks again a day later. As soon as Telegram returns the account, it is back at work and you get a notification.
3. Do not send appeals to Telegram one after another. Repeated appeals from one account do not speed up the answer. While the account is paused, do not log in from new devices and do not write from it by hand.

On a plan with preparation, a returned account goes through it again from day one, so it reaches the full limit gradually. On the Starter plan the account goes back to work right away.

Quick checklist

• Within the first hour check the connection and profile of every account in the order, turn on protection and save the cloud password.
• Close extra sessions only with the «Close other sessions» button in Pulsar, a few hours after purchase.
• Do not open the session file in another program.
• Change the profile one field at a time, with breaks.
• Let the account finish preparation.
• Get Telegram Premium if the account writes every day.
• Keep gradual start on.
• Do not write to new people from the account by hand during outreach.
• Write the first message without links, contacts or emoji.
