What it does

This workflow turns a verified mention into a personalized outreach email asking the publisher to add a link. It reads the actual context of the mention, finds an appropriate contact, drafts a tailored ask, and leaves it in Gmail for a human to approve and send.

When to use it

Run it once mentions have been detected and their sources verified, when you want to scale link-acquisition outreach without sending generic, templated spam. It keeps a person in the loop by creating drafts rather than auto-sending.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule selects Airtable rows marked verified and not yet contacted.
  2. 2Firecrawl re-reads the mentioning page to pull the exact quote and surrounding context.
  3. 3An agent drafts a short, specific email referencing the real mention and making a clear link-add request.
  4. 4A logic step skips records with no usable contact address.
  5. 5A Gmail draft is created in your account, addressed to the publisher contact.
  6. 6The Airtable record is updated to outreach-drafted with a link to the draft for tracking.
