How I auto-draft 24 demo follow-ups before lunch

Last week I ran 24 demos and sent zero follow-up emails. Not because I forgot, but because writing them one by one is a 40-minute slog I kept pushing to tomorrow.

So I wired it up in n8n. Here is the build. Airtable holds a Demos table with fields for prospect name, pain point, and demo date. The trigger is an Airtable node watching for any record where status flips to "Demo Done." That fires an n8n workflow that pulls the row, drops the name and pain point into a prompt, and sends it to an AI node to draft a personalized follow-up. The draft lands back in Airtable in a "Draft Email" field, ready for me to skim and approve.

I review all 24 in about five minutes instead of writing for forty. The AI handles the personalization; I keep the final say.

Copy it: one Airtable trigger, one AI node, one update-record step.

What is the one follow-up task you keep putting off that a trigger could handle?
