🔗 LinkedIn Scraper + Apollo + Apify + AI Outreach Workflow

A fully automated, end‑to‑end B2B lead generation and AI‑powered outreach system built using n8n, Apollo, Apify, OpenAI, Tavily, Google Sheets, and Instantly.ai.

This workflow transforms a simple form submission (job titles, company size, keywords, and location) into a complete sales‑ready outreach pipeline.

🚀 What This Workflow Does

This automation:

  1. Collects targeting criteria via an n8n form (Job Title, Keywords, Location, Company Size, Campaign ID).

  2. Generates a fully structured Apollo search URL using an LLM.

  3. Triggers an Apify Apollo Scraper Actor and retrieves rich lead data.

  4. Cleans, normalizes, and structures each lead using OpenAI.

  5. Uploads validated lead data to Google Sheets, ensuring no duplicates.

  6. Runs deep company research using Tavily to retrieve:

    • Company overview
    • Website product/service descriptions
    • Recent website news or blog posts
    • Third‑party sentiment from G2/Reddit
  7. Synthesizes all company information into a comprehensive summary.

  8. Generates a personalized cold email body using OpenAI, tailored to each lead.

  9. Uploads each lead + personalized message into an Instantly.ai campaign.

  10. Loops through all leads automatically until campaign is fully populated.

🧠 Why This Workflow Is Powerful

  • Creates high‑quality, personalized outreach at scale.

  • Ensures every lead has:

    • Verified email
