Been playing with n8n for a few weeks now. Coming from zero coding background so the learning curve was steep but worth it.
Built this cold email follow-up system that:
- Takes lead info (name, company, email, a personal note)
- Uses OpenAI to write a personalized cold email
- Sends it, waits 4 days, checks for reply
- If no reply, generates and sends a follow-up
- Stops automatically if they reply
Right now it does 4 follow-ups over 14 days. I actually uploaded a free 2-step version to the template library (pending review).
Would love some feedback from people who actually know what they’re doing. Anything I could improve? Also happy to share the workflow json if anyone wants it.
