Works With
Build an AI agent that researches each prospect using Apollo, pulls recent funding and tech stack data, writes personalized cold emails, and sends them at scale via Gmail or Instantly. Every email references something specific about the prospect — never a template.
How the agent connects Apollo's sales intelligence API with Gmail's sending infrastructure to create a production-grade cold outreach system.
Prospect searching, organization enrichment, and bulk data processing are handled via Apollo — finding ICP-matched leads, pulling company funding, tech stack, and headcount data, and processing large batches at scale.
Email sending via Gmail routes through your authenticated account with proper rate limiting. The agent respects daily send limits and implements exponential backoff on temporary failures.
Lead creation and campaign management via Instantly route prospects through cold outreach infrastructure for higher deliverability and sequence management.
Analytics logging via Google Sheets records every prospect, email sent, and reply received to a structured sheet for real-time analytics and performance tracking.
Agent gracefully handles API rate limits, temporary network failures, and invalid prospect data. Failed emails are logged with error codes and retried automatically with exponential backoff.
All API credentials stored encrypted. OAuth2 for Gmail and Apollo with automatic token refresh. Agent never logs or stores email content beyond what's needed for analytics.
