OptaReach helps you spot developers who match your ICP and reach them inside the GitHub ecosystem before moving to DM or email.

What you can do

  • Discover leads from repositories, issues, pull requests, and discussions that match your keywords or tech stack.
  • Save Tracked searches for repos or topics and get new matches automatically.
  • Monitor multiple GitHub accounts and respect rate limits.
  • Use GPT for GitHub to summarize a thread and draft replies that add value.
  • Manage all replies and follow-ups from Unibox.

Accounts

  • Connect one or more GitHub accounts; set conservative caps for comments and DMs.
  • Watch rate limits/API quotas and spread activity across accounts if needed.
  • Add an account:
    1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
    2. Choose GitHub and authenticate.
    3. Name it, set daily caps, save.

Leads

  • Import contributor lists via CSV (usernames + repo/issue URLs).
  • Discover targets from repos, issues, PRs, and discussions that match your keywords or tech stack.

Tracked searches

  • Save searches for repos, orgs, languages, or issue keywords to auto-surface new activity.
  • Attach tracked searches to campaigns so fresh threads flow in without manual pulls.

Campaigns & sequences

  1. Create a GitHub campaign and choose sending account(s).
  2. Pick a lead source (tracked search, live search, or CSV).
  3. Suggested flow:
    • Comment on the issue/PR/discussion with a helpful, technical reply.
    • Wait ~1 day.
    • If appropriate, DM the contributor or move them to email.
    • Branch: Replied → human follow-up in Unibox; No response → optional single bump.

GPT for GitHub

  • Feed issue/PR/discussion text into GPT; ask for concise, code-aware responses.
  • Include guardrails (no hallucinated APIs, cite code snippet/line) in prompts.
  • Keep tone technical and specific; avoid boilerplate praise.

Monitor and respond

  • Track which repos/topics convert in Campaign Analytics.
  • Keep GitHub threads and DMs organized in Unibox.
  • If limits trigger, lower caps, extend waits, or rotate accounts.
