Workflow Description
Too many outbound efforts fail not for lack of leads, but for lack of consistent follow-up. This workflow solves that exact problem: whenever you add a prospect to a Google Sheet, an automated process generates a personalized message, sends it, sequences follow-ups if needed, and updates your sheet when prospects reply — all without manual intervention.
👉 Use This Workflow
Here’s How This Agent Works
At a high level, the workflow acts as an always-on outbound assistant:
- You add a prospect to your Google Sheet manually or through your outbound lists.
- GPT generates a personalized outreach email based on the prospect’s details.
- InboxPlus sends the email and runs automated follow-ups if the prospect doesn’t reply.
- When someone responds, the system updates the row in your sheet automatically so you always know who engaged.
This turns one-off outreach into a predictable, repeatable system — making your outbound process reliable and scalable.
