Overview

๐Ÿš€ B2B Outreach Automation: Email Finder & Sequence Writer โ€” n8n Template

This template is built for founders, SDR teams, and agencies who prospect on LinkedIn and want the entire cold-outreach pipeline automated. It turns a simple LinkedIn profile URL into a verified email and a fully personalized 5-step email sequenceโ€”then logs everything to Google Sheets for tracking and iteration.

No more switching tools, copying data, or writing follow-ups by hand.
One run = research โ†’ verified email โ†’ 1 intro + 4 follow-ups โ†’ clean sheet update.


๐Ÿ”ง Workflow Capabilities

  • LinkedIn โ†’ Verified Email: Finds professional emails from LinkedIn profiles using AnyMailFinder, including email_status (e.g., verified/catch-all).
  • Contextual Research: Pulls company insights with Perplexity and scrapes LinkedIn profile details via Apify for richer personalization.
  • AI Email Writing: Generates 1 personalized intro email + 4 strategic follow-ups with subject lines using OpenAI; enforces a strict JSON structure to avoid messy output.
  • Google Sheets CRM: Writes all results back to your sheet (emails, names, titles, subjects, bodies, status).
  • Safe & Scalable: Processes leads in batches, with optional wait/rate-limits to respect APIs; supports append-or-update logic to prevent duplicates.

โš™๏ธ How It Works

  1. Read new leads from Google Sheets (rows where Email status is empty).
  2. Discover the contactโ€™s email via AnyMailFinder using the LinkedIn URL.
