You send a great cold email, and then... nothing. Most replies come from follow-ups, not the first email — but manually tracking who to chase and when doesn't scale. This n8n workflow does it for you.

WHAT IT DOES

• Sends up to 3 follow-ups to any lead who hasn't replied

• Waits exactly as many days as you set between each one

• Stops immediately the moment someone replies — never chases a live conversation

• Threads follow-ups into the original email when possible, or sends a clean new one

• Tracks every lead's stage so nothing is sent twice

• Flags errors instead of crashing — one bad lead never stops the batch

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Complete n8n workflow (.json) — import and go

• Ready-to-use Google Sheet template

• Setup instructions built into the workflow

WHAT YOU NEED

• n8n (cloud or self-hosted)

• Gmail / Google Workspace

• Google Sheets (or swap for Airtable/Notion)

• OpenAI API key (pennies per follow-up)

FULLY CONFIGURABLE

Change the number of follow-ups, the days between each, and the AI's tone — all labeled inside the workflow.

No coding required.
