What it does

Cold Email Automation n8n Workflow overview

This cold email automation workflow builds a clean prospect list before outreach begins. On a schedule, n8n queries Apollo.io or Hunter.io using your ideal-customer filters, validates addresses with ZeroBounce, removes contacts already present in your CRM or sheet, and delivers the approved list to Google Sheets for campaign use.
