Turn a LinkedIn URL into a cold email
An n8n agent scrapes a LinkedIn profile from its URL and has an AI write a cold email; the author claims it books 20–30 qualified calls a month.
- What They Did
- An n8n workflow starts from a webhook or scheduler that receives a LinkedIn URL. It validates the URL, then scrapes the profile with Apify or a headless browser. It cleans the data and builds a dynamic prompt with the profile, email goal and tone. It sends the prompt to Claude or GPT, strips hallucinated details from the reply, and delivers the result to Slack, email, Sheets or Notion.
- How It Went
- The author says it books 20–30 qualified calls a month, but gives no breakdown, reply rates or method behind that figure. A commenter says the prompt is under-specified for Claude.
- Worth Knowing
- A commenter questions whether handing LinkedIn session cookies to n8n or Make is safe or allowed under LinkedIn's policy. The post doesn't address this.
Try it yourself with n8n
Build a workflow where I submit a LinkedIn profile URL, it scrapes the profile, and an AI agent writes a short cold email in [tone] tone offering [my product or service]. Reference something specific from the profile. Output the draft for my review and never send it automatically; the job is done when a draft appears for each URL.
Do this with a skill.
