Who’s it for

This template is perfect for digital agencies, SDRs, lead generators, or outreach teams that want to automatically convert LinkedIn company profiles into high-quality cold emails. If you spend too much time researching and writing outreach messages, this workflow does all the heavy lifting for you.

What it does

Once a LinkedIn company profile URL is submitted via a web form, the workflow:

  1. Scrapes detailed company data using Dumpling AI
  2. Enriches the contact (email, name, country) using Dropcontact
  3. Sends company data and contact info to GPT-4, which generates:
    • A personalized subject line (max 8 words)
    • A short HTML cold email (4–6 sentences)
  4. Sends the cold email via Gmail
  5. Logs the lead details to Airtable for tracking

All AI-generated content follows strict formatting and tone guidelines, ensuring it's professional, human, and clean.

How it works

  1. Form Trigger: Collects the LinkedIn URL
  2. Dumpling AI: Extracts company name, description, size, location, website, etc.
  3. Dropcontact: Finds the contact's email and name based on enriched company details
  4. GPT-4: Writes a structured cold email and subject line in JSON format
  5. Gmail: Sends the personalized email to a fixed recipient
  6. Airtable: Logs the lead into a specified base/table for follow-up

Requirements

  • ✅ Dumpling AI API key (stored in HTTP header credentials)
  • ✅ Dropcontact API key
  • ✅ OpenAI GPT-4 credentials
  • ✅ Gmail account (OAuth2)
  • ✅ Airtable base & table set up with at least these fields:
    • Name
    • LinkedIn Company URL
    • People
    • website

How to customize

  • Modify the GPT prompt to reflect your brand tone or service offering
  • Replace Gmail with Slack, Outlook, or another communication tool
  • Add a “review and approve” step before sending emails
  • Add logic to avoid duplicates (e.g., check Airtable first)

> This workflow lets you go from LinkedIn profile to inbox-ready cold email in less than a minute—with full AI support.
