AI Automation

Lead Scraping & Outreach Automation

Finds ideal-fit leads and runs personalised cold outreach automatically.

STACK: n8n · Apollo · OpenAI · Gmail APIREGION: USAYEAR: 2025

Overview

Finds ideal-fit leads and runs personalised cold outreach automatically. I built a workflow that sources leads matching an ideal profile, enriches them, and uses OpenAI to write personalised first-touch emails and follow-ups with reply detection. Built with n8n, Apollo, OpenAI, Gmail API, this ai automation project was delivered for a client in USA and designed for reliability, a clean user experience and long-term maintainability — so it keeps delivering value well after launch.

The challenge

A sales team spent hours building lead lists and writing cold emails one by one.

A focused MVP can take a few weeks, while a larger ai automation build runs in milestones over a couple of months. You'll see working software early and often, not just at the end.
