Introduction
This Playbook helps you find accounts that have been active on your GitHub repositories over the past 180 days. By identifying developer activities such as forks, stars, issues, PRs, and comments, you can uncover accounts showing early interest in your product. These signals indicate engagement levels, allowing you to prioritize outreach efforts toward potential buyers and champions within these accounts.

Play 1: Find New Buyer Contacts and add them to your Apollo Email Sequences
In this play, you’ll identify and engage new buyer contacts from accounts that are active in you Github Repositories in last 180 days. You’ll apply targeted filters like customer fit, CRM lifecycle stage, and developer funnel stage to pinpoint high-fit accounts and discover additional buyers within Reo.Dev. Once you identify these new buyers, you’ll add them to your Apollo email sequences for timely and personalized outreach.
Click on Find More Buyers to discover additional prospects. This feature leverages AI to identify decision-makers based on:
Developer Activity Location: Suggests prospects from locations where active developers interact with your assets.
Seniority Level: Automatically includes profiles at the “Director” level or higher for effective targeting.
Adjust filters like Location, Seniority, and Job Function for precision. Refer to the detailed Find Buyer Contact Guide for full filtering options.
Create and Save Personas:

The above play is consistent across different segments, playbook collections and plays. Whether you’re targeting top accounts, recent product sign-ups, or competitors’ users, the goal remains the same: Activate your outreach list effectively. By following this structure, you can ensure a robust, multi-channel outreach strategy that maximizes the use of high-intent signals gathered by Reo.Dev and win more deals.

Play 2: Identify High Intent Accounts via Reo.Dev ‘Custom Tags’
This play uses custom tags feature to surface high-intent accounts demonstrating recent engagement with key sections and pages of your product.
In this illustration we have shown how to discover accounts recently active on your pricing page and create custom tags for it. Analyzing interactions with the pricing page helps identify potential buyers who are actively evaluating costs and exploring purchase options, signaling strong commercial interest.
By focusing on this tag, you can quickly prioritize accounts that are deeper in the buying journey and are showing interest in pricing details, enabling targeted and timely outreach.
This Play helps you identity the right context for your messaging. For example, with the above, once you learn which Active Accounts on your Github Repo are also viewing your pricing page, you can use Play 1 (Find New Buyer Contacts) to find more buyers and send them contextual messaging based on the identified Tags.
Similarly, you can use the Custom Tags feature to highlight any account in your above created segment, that is doing other activities of interest such as visiting developer docs that have high purchase intent, executing CLI commands and more.
