Open on n8n.io

Overview

This workflow creates a fully automated B2B lead generation & outreach pipeline. It combines BrowserAct (for scraping) with Google Gemini AI (for writing) to automate the entire prospecting process.

It takes a search request via a Form, scrapes verified leads from Apollo.io, uses AI to write a personalized cold email for EACH lead, saves everything to Google Sheets, and notifies you via Gmail when the batch is done.

How it works

  • Form Trigger: You input the Target Role (e.g., "Engineer") and Location (e.g., "New York").
  • BrowserAct Automation: Triggers a remote browser to search Apollo.io and extract contact details (Name, Job, Company, Email).
  • AI Email Drafter: Google Gemini reads the lead's info and automatically generates a personalized cold email draft tailored to their role and company.
  • Data Merging: Seamlessly combines the scraped contact info with the AI-generated email content.
  • Google Sheets Storage: Appends the full profile + the AI email draft into your spreadsheet.
  • Email Notification: Sends you a summary report via Gmail listing who was scraped and confirming the job is finished.
