What matters most to you?

EmbersNot needed
WaalaxyNeeds it

Embers never needs your LinkedIn login, cookies, or an extension. Waalaxy works through a connected LinkedIn account or session.

Keep the tool that sends. Embers decides who deserves a campaign, and never touches your LinkedIn account.

Verdict

The short answer, both ways.

While Waalaxy automates messages to strangers, Embers surfaces people already engaging with you or your competitors.

Where Embers has the edge

  • LinkedIn detected their automation and restricted their account
  • Automated messages were hurting their reputation
  • They want warm leads, not cold outreach at scale
  • Chrome extension was unreliable and required browser to stay open

Where Waalaxy has the edge

  • Multi-channel - LinkedIn + email
  • Built-in email finder
  • Easy-to-use sequence builder
  • Campaign templates for quick setup

Automation and sending

Embers reads. Your sending tool sends.

Public activity comes in, one qualified lead goes out to you or your sending tool, and your LinkedIn account sits on the other side of a line Embers never crosses. Press a lock to test it.

  • No LinkedIn password, cookies, or extension
  • Never a connection request, message, comment, or reaction
  • Leads push to HeyReach, Instantly, Smartlead, Emelia, or a webhook
See lead qualification
Public LinkedIn activity flows into Embers, which matches people to your ICP and ranks one queue, then hands a lead to you or your sending tool. Your LinkedIn account, with its password, session cookies, browser and posting rights, sits below a line Embers never crosses.

Feed it

Pair them in four steps.

Nothing to migrate: Waalaxy keeps sending, and Embers changes who it sends to.

  1. Keep Waalaxy for the sending

    Embers never sends connection requests, messages, comments, or reactions, so your campaigns stay where they are.

  2. Let Embers pick who

    Engagers are scored against your ICP and ranked, each with the reason they surfaced.

    How it works

  3. Connect the handoff

    HeyReach, Instantly, Smartlead, and Emelia are native destinations; anything else takes signed webhooks through Zapier, Make, or n8n. Set a minimum score and ICP-only rules.

    How it works

  4. Send to people who just engaged

    Each lead arrives with the signal that surfaced it and its score, ready to use as campaign variables.
