Introduction
This Playbook helps you identify developers actively engaging on Slack channels from your ICP accounts. By focusing on engagement signals like posts, reactions, and replies, you can uncover developers who are exploring solutions, discussing challenges, or expressing interest in collaboration. With Reo.Dev’s customer fit scoring, you can prioritize high-fit developers and focus your outreach efforts on the most promising opportunities. This actionable insight empowers DevRel teams and SDRs to craft personalized messaging, fostering stronger connections and driving meaningful outcomes.
Create Segment
This Play enables you to create a segment of developers who are actively engaging in your Slack community channels and belong to accounts that match your ICP fitment criteria. By connecting specific Slack channels from your developer community to Reo.Dev, you can monitor all relevant engagement types, including: Posts, Reactions, Replies & New users joining your Slack Workspace. Additionally, the segment includes a customer fit score filter, ensuring that only developers from accounts with ‘Strong’ & ‘Moderate’ ICP alignment are included. Once the segment is created, you can review each developer’s activity timeline, including direct links to their Slack interactions. This allows you to understand the context of their engagement and decide if outreach is appropriate.
Plays are step-by-step strategies designed to help you use Reo.Dev's features effectively, guiding you through specific actions to uncover high-intent developers and optimize your outreach.

Step 3: Craft Your Personalized Outreach Message
Utilize contact details such as their LinkedIn profile or business email, both accessible directly from the profile card.
Tailor your message based on the Slack activity insights. For example:
Example Message 1: Proactive Support Outreach for DevRel Teams
Hi {Developer Name}, I noticed your recent post on {Slack Channel Name} regarding implementation challenges with {specific topic/tool}. At {Your Company Name}, we’re committed to helping developers like you succeed. I’d be happy to walk you through a solution or provide any resources you need. Let me know if you'd like to set up a quick call or chat! Best, {Your Name}
Example Message 2: Personalized Introduction for SDR Outreach
Hi {Developer Name}, I came across your activity in {Slack Channel Name}, where you’ve been discussing {specific feature/tool}. It’s great to see your interest in this space! I’d love to introduce you to {Your Product Name}, which could simplify {specific challenge/pain point} for your team. Would you be open to a quick chat to explore how we can help? Looking forward to hearing from you, {Your Name}
Step 4: Set Up Alerts for Ongoing Monitoring
If you feel the profile is not ready for immediate outreach but could be promising in the future, use the Follow or Get Alerts options.
Configure alerts through notification settings to track new activities:
Email Notifications: Stay updated on any new developer activity directly via email.
Slack Notifications: Get real-time updates in your preferred Slack channel.
This play is applicable across all your developer segments and custom tags.
