# Safety Checklist

> To ensure your flows run smoothly and your account stays healthy, please complete this setup audit before you launch.

<Warning>
  **CRITICAL: Read Before You Start** If you ignore everything else in this guide, **you must complete Step 1 and Step 2**.

  ***Failing to disconnect other social tools or remove conflicting extensions is the #1 cause of account issues.***
</Warning>

## Step 1: Disconnect Other Automations 🚨

**Status: MANDATORY**

You cannot run two social tools at the same time. It is dangerous to have another platform trying to control your account while First Touch is active.

**Action Required:**

1. **Cancel/Pause** any active subscriptions to other Social automation tools.
2. **Wait 72 Hours:** Some tools continue running background tasks or hold onto your session tokens even after you stop them.
3. **Log Out Everywhere:** Log out of your social account on all devices (Desktop & Mobile) to force-revoke access to these tools.

**🚫 Common Automation Platforms to Disconnect:**

* HeyReach
* Dripify
* Valley
* Expandi
* SalesRobot
* Taplio (if auto-DM features are on)

***

## Step 2: Remove Risky Extensions 🧩

**Status: MANDATORY**

Even if you aren't using them, having certain extensions installed in your browser can flag your account. These tools often modify code ("DOM Injection") or scrape data in a way that creates a high-risk footprint. If you see any "overlays" that change the website or add functionality, these are considered risky and you should consider removing them.

**Action Required:** Go to `chrome://extensions` and **remove** (not just disable) the following types of tools:

**🚫 Scraping & Data Extensions:**

* PhantomBuster
* Skrapp
* Lusha (specifically bulk scraping features)
* Seamless.ai

**🚫 Inbox & Overlay Extensions:**

* Kondo
* Unbox
* Closely

## Step 3: Build Your Foundation 🧱

**Goal:** Ensure your account is mature enough for activation.

* **The 100 Connection Milestone:** If you have a brand new account or fewer than **100 connections**, we recommend connecting manually first.
* **Why?** Reaching 100 connections manually establishes you as a real, active user. Once you hit this number, you are ready to start!

## Step 4: The "Warm-Up" Schedule 📈

**Goal:** Increase activity naturally over time.

Just like training for a marathon, you don't want to sprint on day one. We recommend this comfortable ramp-up schedule for your **Connection Requests**, **Messages**, and **Profile Views**:

| Timeline    | Daily Limit Recommendation |
| :---------- | :------------------------- |
| **Week 1**  | **10** actions per day     |
| **Week 2**  | **20** actions per day     |
| **Week 3+** | **30** actions per day     |

***

## (Optional) Step 5: Enable "Agent Hours" ☕

**Goal:** Separate your manual browsing from FirstTouch's agent.

This is our favorite pro-tip for total peace of mind. You can set FirstTouch to run only when you *aren't* using social.

* **How it works:** In your user settings, set your **Agent Hours** (Operating Hours) to times when you are away from your desk (e.g., early morning or evening).
* **The Benefit:** This ensures you never accidentally "bump into" the bot. If you are browsing social at 2 PM, and the agent tries to send a message at 2 PM, it creates overlapping activity. "Agent Hours" solves this completely.

## Step 6: Launch Flows! 🚀

You’re all set! By verifying that steps 1 and 2 are complete, you have eliminated the biggest risks to your account security. You are ready to launch your first flow.
