n8n AI-Powered Cold Call Machine with LinkedIn, OpenAI & Sales Navigator

This n8n workflow automates the process of generating personalized cold call scripts and LinkedIn outreach messages by leveraging data from Google Sheets, Sales Navigator, and OpenAI. It streamlines lead qualification and outreach, making your cold calling and LinkedIn prospecting efforts more efficient and targeted.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

1. Triggers Manually or on Schedule: The workflow can be initiated manually or set to run on a predefined schedule.
2. Fetches Leads from Google Sheets: Reads a list of leads (likely company names or other identifiers) from a specified Google Sheet.
3. Limits Processing: Processes a limited number of leads (e.g., the first 5) to control API usage and ensure manageable batches.
4. Loops Through Leads: Iterates over each lead fetched from the Google Sheet.
5. Searches LinkedIn Sales Navigator: For each company, it performs an HTTP request to search LinkedIn Sales Navigator for relevant contacts.
6. Filters Search Results: Applies a filter (likely based on job title or role) to narrow down the Sales Navigator search results to relevant decision-makers or prospects.
7. Extracts Contact Information: Uses a Code node to process the Sales Navigator search results and extract key contact details.
8. Checks for Valid Contacts: An 'If' node checks if valid contact information was found for the company.
9. Generates Cold Call Script (OpenAI): If contacts are found, it uses OpenAI to generate a personalized cold call script based on the company and contact details.
10. Generates LinkedIn Message (OpenAI): Simultaneously, it uses OpenAI to generate a personalized LinkedIn outreach message.
11. Aggregates Results: Combines the generated scripts and messages with the original lead data.
12. Handles No Contacts Found: If no valid contacts are found for a company, the workflow stops and logs an error (though the current JSON doesn't show an explicit error logging node, it indicates a stop).
13. Introduces Delay: A Wait node is included, likely to space out API calls and avoid rate limits.
14. Splits Out Data: Prepares the processed data for further actions (not explicitly defined in the provided JSON, but implied by the Split Out node).

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• Google Sheets Account: With a spreadsheet containing your lead data.
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator Access: An account with access to Sales Navigator for lead searching.
• OpenAI API Key: For generating personalized cold call scripts and LinkedIn messages.
• Credentials for all services: Configured within n8n for Google Sheets, HTTP Request (for Sales Navigator), and OpenAI.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • Set up your Google Sheets credentials.
   • Configure the HTTP Request node with the necessary authentication for LinkedIn Sales Navigator (this might involve API keys, tokens, or session cookies depending on how you're interacting with Sales Navigator's API or a custom scraping solution).
   • Add your OpenAI API key as a credential.
3. Update Google Sheets Node:
   • Specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where your lead data is located.
4. Customize Sales Navigator Search (HTTP Request):
   • Adjust the URL and parameters in the "HTTP Request" node to target your specific Sales Navigator search criteria (e.g., company name, industry, location).
5. Refine Contact Filtering (Filter Node):
   • Modify the conditions in the "Filter" node to accurately identify your target contacts based on job titles, seniority, or other relevant attributes from the Sales Navigator response.
6. Adjust OpenAI Prompts:
   • In the "OpenAI" nodes, fine-tune the prompts to generate the desired tone, length, and content for your cold call scripts and LinkedIn messages.
7. Set Batch Size (Loop Over Items):
   • Adjust the batch size in the "Loop Over Items" node if you want to process more or fewer leads per execution.
8. Schedule or Manually Trigger:
   • Enable the "Schedule Trigger" node to run the workflow automatically at desired intervals, or use the "Manual Trigger" to run it on demand.
9. Extend the workflow: After the Split Out node, you can add further actions, such as:
   • Saving the generated scripts and messages to another Google Sheet or CRM.
   • Sending the LinkedIn messages via a LinkedIn automation tool.
   • Notifying a sales representative with the generated script.
