Description
This n8n workflow automates LinkedIn lead generation, enrichment, and email verification by combining Apollo.io, RapidAPI (or Apify), Mail.so, and Google Sheets. It gives your sales and outreach teams a fully enriched, ready-to-engage lead list—powered by verified data and real-time LinkedIn activity insights.
Perfect for sales pros, founders, SDRs, and B2B marketers who want to drive cold outreach results with deeply personalized contact intelligence.
🔹 How It Works:
✅ Apollo Lead Discovery – Search for leads by keyword, job title, or industry via Apollo.io ✅ LinkedIn Username Extraction – Pull username from profile URLs to prepare for enrichment ✅ Email Lookup & Verification – Fetch verified work email from Apollo and validate via Mail.so ✅ Profile Summary Enrichment – Use RapidAPI (or Apify) to get lead’s bio, company, and summary ✅ Recent Activity Fetch – Retrieve their latest LinkedIn posts or reposts to tailor your outreach ✅ Google Sheets Sync – Logs enriched lead data into a Google Sheet with per-lead status tracking ✅ Smart Retry Logic – Automatically retries failed enrichments after a scheduled interval
