A few months ago I was spending 3-4 hours a day manually researching leads, writing personalised emails, and following up. Classic agency grind. Then I built a fully automated cold email workflow in n8n that handles the entire process — from lead research to personalised copy to sending — without me touching it. Here's the exact flow: Step 1 — Lead inputI feed a list of business names + URLs into a Google Sheet. n8n watches the sheet and picks up new rows automatically. Step 2 — AI enrichmentFor each lead, n8n scrapes the company website and pulls key info: what they do, recent blog posts, any pain points mentioned. This context goes to GPT-4o. Step 3 — Personalised email generationGPT-4o writes a custom opening line referencing something specific about that company — not generic "I loved your website" stuff. Real specifics. Then it slots that into a proven email framework. Step 4 — Send + trackThe email goes out via SMTP (or whatever sending tool you use). Lead status in the sheet updates automatically to "Sent." Step 5 — Follow-up sequenceIf no reply after 3 days, a follow-up gets triggered automatically. Different angle, shorter copy. Works like a drip. The result? I went from spending ~4 hours/day on outreach to about 15 minutes reviewing what went out. Reply rates actually went UP because the personalisation improved. The whole thing runs on n8n (self-hosted or cloud), costs almost nothing to operate, and took me about a weekend to build the first version. If you're running an AI agency or selling any kind of B2B service, this is probably the highest-ROI automation you can build right now.
