🧊 AI Icebreaker Personalization
The AI Icebreaker is one of LeadCarnival’s most powerful personalization features.
It automatically analyzes your prospect’s LinkedIn profile and generates a custom opening line designed to build instant rapport — without you needing to write anything manually.
🔍 What Does It Analyze?
Our AI scans the following parts of each prospect’s profile:
- Job title and role
- About section
- Recent posts or activity
- Interests and keywords
Using this data, it generates a hyper-personalized first sentence to open your message in a relevant and natural way.
✅ How to Use It
You can use the {{ice_breaker_ai}}
variable in any message step, such as:
- Connection request
- Direct message
- Follow-up
- InMail
✉️ Example Message Template

{{ice_breaker_ai}}
