Looking for someone who has built AI personalized cold email automation

Help me Build my Workflow
1

Hi everyone,

I want to know if anyone here has already built a workflow like this in n8n.

Workflow idea:

1. Read leads from CRM or Google Sheets

2. Each lead has name, email, company name, and website

3. Automatically visit and scrape the company website

4. AI analyzes the business and understands what they do

5. AI writes a personalized cold email based on that website analysis

6. Email is automatically sent to the prospect

7. Follow-up emails are sent automatically if there is no reply

8. Reply detection stops the sequence if the lead is interested

I am not asking if this can be built.

I want to know if someone has ALREADY built something similar before.

If yes, please share your workflow, demo, or experience.

Thanks.

Yes, close variants: lead row → site fetch → short business summary → personalized draft → send/no-send check → sequence stop when a reply lands.

The two pieces that usually decide whether it works are the website fetch quality and the reply-stop rule. If you want to compare notes, what are you starting from: CRM, Sheets, or a scraped list?

Welcome @Ayesha_Saeed!

This is a very buildable flow in n8n. The critical node to research first is the HTTP Request node for the website scraper step - pairing it with a Jina Reader URL (https://r.jina.ai/[URL]) gives you clean markdown from any business website without dealing with raw HTML. From there, a single LLM call to summarize + draft the email in one step keeps the workflow fast and token-efficient.

Hello, I’m interested in this automation. How can it be implemented end-to-end? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Yes, I’ve built a similar n8n workflow before for AI-powered lead research and personalized cold email automation.

The workflow pulled leads from Google Sheets/CRM, scraped the company website, used AI to understand the business, generated a personalized email, sent it through the connected email system, and managed follow-ups based on reply status.

I also handled duplicate checks, failed website scraping, lead status updates, logging, and reply detection so the sequence stops when someone responds.

One question: are you planning to send emails through Gmail/SMTP, or through a cold email tool like Instantly, Smartlead, or Apollo?

I’ve just built one today. It takes leads from a google sheet and sends that data into an AI agent, which writes personalized outreach and sends followups every few days
