<aside> 🎯 Crafting highly personalized outreach emails can make a big difference in your ability to open a discussion. Dust can help!

In this guide, you will learn how to create an agent that can:

• Search news-related information on a prospect company
• Search the most relevant use cases on your company website for the person you are trying to contact
• Draft a highly personalized & effective outbound email using the above as input </aside>

Step 1: Make sure the data sources are in Dust

This agent will tap into your own company information to craft an effective communication.

You have a few options:

1. Connect to an internal documentation (Notion page, etc)
2. Connect to your company website

In this case, we will connect the agent to our company website.

Before we can move forward with creating the agent, we need to create a new data source in the Dust platform.

Create a new “website” datasource

In a new tab, go to Knowledge > Websites > Add data > Scrape a website > Add a website.

All we have to do is add the company website’s URL and set the relevant parameters.

Once added, Dust will start scraping all of the public pages / sub-pages and add them to the datasource.
