⚡ 210 views · 💬 Lead Nurturing & AI Sales Agents

💡 Pro Tip — If you’re pulling LinkedIn data through HTTP requests or dealing with API restrictions, there’s a community node called ScraperNode that handles this natively. It has dedicated scrapers for profiles, companies, jobs, and people search — you just pass a URL and get structured data back.

Description

Who’s it for

This template is perfect for digital agencies, SDRs, lead generators, or outreach teams that want to automatically convert LinkedIn company profiles into high-quality cold emails. If you spend too much time researching and writing outreach messages, this workflow does all the heavy lifting for you.

What it does

Once a LinkedIn company profile URL is submitted via a web form, the workflow:

1. Scrapes detailed company data using Dumpling AI
2. Enriches the contact (email, name, country) using Dropcontact
3. Sends company data and contact info to GPT-4, which generates:
   • A personalized subject line (max 8 words)
   • A short HTML cold email (4–6 sentences)
4. Sends the cold email via Gmail
5. Logs the lead details to Airtable for tracking

All AI-generated content follows strict formatting and tone guidelines, ensuring it’s professional, human, and clean.

How it works

1. Form Trigger: Collects the LinkedIn URL
2. Dumpling AI: Extracts company name, description, size, location, website, etc.
3. Dropcontact: Finds the contact’s email and name based on enriched company details
4. GPT-4: Writes a structured cold email and subject line in JSON format
5. Gmail: Sends the personalized email to a fixed recipient
6. Airtable: Logs the lead into a specified base/table for follow-up

Requirements

• ✅ Dumpling AI API key (stored in HTTP header credentials)
• ✅ Dropcontact API key
• ✅ OpenAI GPT-4 credentials
• ✅ Gmail account (OAuth2)
• ✅ Airtable base & table set up with at least these fields:
  • Name
  • LinkedIn Company URL
  • People
  • website

How to customize

• Modify the GPT prompt to reflect your brand tone or service offering
• Replace Gmail with Slack, Outlook, or another communication tool
• Add a “review and approve” step before sending emails
• Add logic to avoid duplicates (e.g., check Airtable first)

> This workflow lets you go from LinkedIn profile to inbox-ready cold email in less than a minute—with full AI support.
