Outbound Prospecting Agent
Apollo.io → AI Research → ICP Scoring → Personalized Email → Gmail
Stop prospecting manually. Let AI find and email your best-fit leads. Apollo sources the leads, three specialized agents research, score, and write personalized outreach, then Gmail delivers — all in one 30-node workflow you own.
Three Agents. Apollo to Gmail. Zero Manual Steps.
Step 1 — The Researcher
Web Intelligence
Goes beyond Apollo data. Runs deep web research on each lead — recent company activity, hiring signals, product launches, funding rounds. Builds the context that makes outreach personal, not templated.
Step 2 — The Judge
Reasoning (Tier 1)
Six-criteria Lead Utility Score: ICP fit, seniority match, technographic signals, intent indicators, data recency, and contact quality. Each criterion scored independently with explicit reasoning. LUS ≥ 7 threshold — only qualified leads proceed to outreach.
Step 3 — The Ghostwriter
Creative (Tier 3)
Three sentences max. Research-hook required — every email references a specific finding from the Researcher. 15 forbidden phrases blocked. Plain text only. No HTML, no images, no tracking pixels. Deliverability over aesthetics.
Step 4 — Gmail Syncer
Delivery
OAuth-authenticated Gmail delivery. Rate-limited to protect sender reputation. Plain text format maximizes deliverability. Supports both free Gmail (500 sends/day) and Google Workspace (2,000 sends/day).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which CRM does this work with?
Apollo.io for lead sourcing — no CRM dependency. Leads are discovered via Apollo search, researched, scored, and emailed via Gmail. You can export qualified leads to any CRM separately.
Do I need a paid Apollo account?
Free tier works — 10,000 search records/month. Enrichment credits vary by plan. The dependency matrix documents exact API usage per workflow run.
Does this work with Google Workspace?
Yes. Free Gmail (500 sends/day) and Google Workspace (2,000 sends/day) both supported. OAuth authentication — no app passwords required.
How long does setup take?
Approximately 9 minutes. Import the workflow JSON into n8n, configure 3 credentials (Apollo, Gmail OAuth, Anthropic), set your ICP parameters, and run a test lead.
Will my Gmail get flagged for spam?
The README includes a warm-up guide. Start with 5–10 sends/day and increase gradually. Plain text format, no tracking pixels, and personalized content maximize deliverability.
Can I customize the ICP criteria?
Yes. LUS scoring weights, target job titles, locations, company size ranges, and industries are all configurable in the Judge agent’s Set node. The README walks through each parameter.
How is this different from the Autonomous SDR?
Different source, different delivery, different buyer profile. The SDR takes pre-sourced CSV leads and sends via Instantly. The OPA discovers leads via Apollo and sends via Gmail. Choose based on your lead source and sending infrastructure.
