Automated Lead Collection and Outreach Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of capturing, enriching, and reaching out to business leads. It begins with a form trigger where users input lead criteria such as business type, location, and email style. Upon submission, an HTTP request is sent to an Apify actor to scrape relevant business data based on the provided criteria. The workflow then extracts the most accurate email address from the scraped website using a language model powered by Google Gemini, and generates personalized cold emails through OpenAI’s GPT-4 model configured for professional outreach. If an email address is valid, the workflow proceeds to send a tailored email via Gmail, and logs all the lead details along with the email status in a Google Sheet, updating existing entries as needed. This setup is ideal for digital marketing agencies, sales teams, or outreach campaigns aiming to automate lead generation and follow-up communications.
