Not every contact you have is a connector — only the ones who have also joined CTD. When a contact is on CTD, their own connections become paths you can act on: you can ask them to make introductions, or draft ghost emails for them to send on your behalf.

Find your connectors

Go to My Contacts → Connectors. This tab filters your full contact list to show only people who are active CTD users.

For each connector you'll see their Network Strength score — a measure of how well-connected they are relative to everyone on CTD (Top 10%, Top 20%, Intermediate, etc.) — and when you last interacted with them.

What you can see on a connector's profile

Click on any connector to open their profile. From there you can explore several tabs:

  • About — contact details, current and former roles, email and LinkedIn communication history with them, and your notes.
  • Interactions — a full log of every email and LinkedIn exchange you've had.
  • Mutual contacts — people you both know, which can suggest shared context worth mentioning when asking for a favor.
  • Paths to [name] — who on your team has the strongest path to this person, useful when you want a warm intro to the connector themselves.
  • Paths through [name] — every person this connector can reach on your behalf. A well-connected person may have tens of thousands of paths running through them.
  • Activity — intro requests, introductions made, meetings scheduled, and outcomes — a quick read on how active they are as a connector.

Connector paths on company pages

When you open a company's page in CTD and go to the People tab, CTD groups the people who work there by how reachable they are through your connectors: Strong chances to connect, Good chances to connect, and Weak chances to connect. Click on any person to expand the path — you'll see which connector bridges the relationship, their connection strength, and the current path stage.

Tip: The "Paths through [name]" tab is one of the most useful views in CTD. If you're trying to reach a specific industry or company type, check which of your connectors has the deepest reach there — then prioritize keeping that relationship warm.
