Personalized Cold Email Generator with Supabase, Smartlead & Google Gemini AI
This n8n workflow automates the generation of personalized cold emails using AI, leveraging data from Supabase and preparing it for a bulk email sender like Smartlead. It streamlines the outreach process by creating tailored content for each prospect.
What it does
This workflow is designed to:
- Trigger on Schedule: Initiates the workflow at predefined intervals (e.g., daily, weekly).
- Fetch Prospect Data: Retrieves a list of prospects from a Supabase database.
- Process Prospects in Batches: Iterates through each prospect individually to ensure personalized processing.
- Generate Personalized Email Content:
- Uses a "Basic LLM Chain" (likely powered by Google Gemini AI) to generate an initial draft of a personalized cold email based on prospect data.
- Employs an "Information Extractor" (also likely AI-powered) to refine and structure the generated email content, ensuring it meets specific criteria or extracts key data points.
- Aggregate Results: Collects all the generated personalized emails after individual processing.
- Conditional Logic: Includes an "If" node, which suggests a conditional step for further processing or filtering based on the generated email content or prospect data. (Note: The specific condition is not defined in the provided JSON, but it indicates a branching point.)
- Send to Smartlead (Implied): While not explicitly defined in the provided JSON, the workflow's directory name ("7713-personalized-cold-email-generator-with-supabase-smartlead--google-gemini-ai") strongly suggests that the generated emails are intended to be sent to a platform like Smartlead for bulk outreach. The "HTTP Request" node could be used for this purpose.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- Supabase Account: With a database containing your prospect information. You'll need credentials to connect.
- Google Gemini AI (or similar LLM): Access to a Language Model for generating email content. This workflow specifically uses the "Google Gemini Chat Model" node.
- API Credentials for AI Services: API keys or access tokens for your chosen LLM.
- Smartlead Account (Implied): If integrating with Smartlead, you'll need an account and its API credentials.
- Basic JavaScript Knowledge: For configuring the "Code" node if custom logic is required.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the workflow JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Supabase: Set up your Supabase credentials in n8n, providing your Supabase URL and API key.
- Google Gemini Chat Model: Configure the credentials for your Google Gemini AI.
- HTTP Request (if sending to Smartlead): If the HTTP Request node is used to send data to Smartlead, configure it with the Smartlead API endpoint and your API key or authentication method.
- Customize Nodes:
- Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule to your desired frequency for running the workflow.
- Supabase Node: Configure the Supabase node to query the correct table and columns for your prospect data.
- Basic LLM Chain & Information Extractor: Customize the prompts and configurations for the AI nodes to generate the desired email content and extract relevant information.
- If Node: Define the conditions for the "If" node based on your specific requirements for filtering or routing.
