AI Cold Email Automation n8n workflow: Google Sheets leads, Groq research, AI agent drafting and quality check
VERIFIED ARCHITECTUREWALEED // 04

AI Cold Email Automation (n8n)

Two human-in-the-loop n8n workflows that research company websites with Groq, draft quality-checked cold emails, and dispatch approved sends.

Two n8n workflows that draft and send personalised cold emails with a human in the loop. The drafting workflow reads leads from Google Sheets, skips invalid and duplicate leads, researches each company's website with an AI model (Groq), writes a short email, and runs a rule-based quality check. Drafts are saved for manual review. The sending workflow sends only approved drafts, after checking an unsubscribe list, a pause switch and a daily limit, then logs every send.

  • —Human approval before any email is sent
  • —Duplicate and unsubscribe protection
  • —Fail-safe pause switch
  • —Quality checker for greeting, length, banned words and invented facts
  • —Bad websites are skipped without stopping the run
