Personalized sales outreach with Apollo, GPT, and Gmail automation

This n8n template shows you how to turn outbound sales into a fully automated machine: scrape verified leads, research them with AI, and fire off personalized cold emails while you sleep.

Use cases are simple: scale B2B lead gen without hiring more SDRs, run targeted outreach campaigns that don’t feel generic, and give founders or agencies a repeatable system that books more calls with less effort.

Good to know - At time of writing, each AI call may incur costs depending on your OpenAI plan. - This workflow uses Apollo/Apify for lead scraping, which requires an active token. - Telegram approval flow is optional but recommended for quality control.

How it works - Define your ICP (role, location, industry) in the workflow. - Generate Apollo search URLs and scrape verified contacts. - AI enriches leads with personal + company research. - Hormozi-style cold emails are generated and queued for approval. - Approve drafts in Telegram, then Gmail automatically sends them out.

How to use - Start with the included Schedule Trigger or replace with a Webhook/Form trigger. - Adjust ICP settings in the Set node to fit your target audience. - Test with a small batch of leads before scaling to larger runs.

Requirements - Google Sheets, Docs, Drive, and Gmail connected to n8n - Apollo/Apify account and token - OpenAI API key - Telegram bot for approvals

Customising this workflow - Swap Apollo scraping with another data source if needed. - Adapt the AI prompt for a different email tone (formal, friendly, etc.). - Extend with a CRM integration to sync approved leads and outreach results.
