# Outreach agents that know when to stop.

An outreach agent sends TikTok Shop target collaboration invites and DMs to a list or segment, on your schedule. It follows TikTok's outreach quota, never messages a creator more than 5 times in a week, and stops following up the moment a creator replies or asks for a sample.

What it does

## What outreach agents do

**Invites, messages or both**

Send a target collaboration invite with your commission, products, sample policy and end date, a DM, or both together.

**Audiences from your CRM**

Point an agent at lists or segments, and leave out creators contacted in the last 1 to 90 days.

**Personalized, never half-filled**

Placeholders like [creator name] fill from creator data, with optional AI personalization for the rest. Your own wording is checked to stay unchanged, and if a placeholder can't be filled, that creator's message isn't sent.

**Sending hours and daily caps**

Send only in the hours you choose, up to the daily number you set, with priority between agents.

**TikTok's quota, read live**

Agents read TikTok's weekly outreach quota and stop with a clear reason when it runs out, instead of failing quietly.

**Invite checks before sending**

Words TikTok rejects in invites, like other marketplaces or messaging apps, are caught before the invite leaves.

## How outreach stays safe

- New agents start in dry run and log every invite and message they would send.
- Only an owner or admin can switch an agent live. Any team member can stop it.
- No creator gets more than 5 DMs from your shop in a week, no matter how many agents you run.
- A send with an unclear result is never retried blindly, so a creator isn't messaged twice.
