Agents that find leads, research prospects and run outreach pipelines. Each entry has a copy-paste prompt, difficulty, setup time and known pitfalls.
An agent running 24/7 on a Mac Mini finds prospects, verifies emails, sends outreach, makes PDF briefings, and tracks the pipeline, keeping a lessons log so it improves over time.
A HubSpot webhook alerts a 'Researcher' agent, which scrapes the prospect's site and LinkedIn for recent news. The trigger itself is a plain webhook, not an LLM.
An Elvis tribute singer says Grok Bot emails venues, negotiates prices, closes deals and reports back, and booked 30 shows in a month.
A native, clearly labelled card in the directory results.
Become the featured sponsor →An n8n builder logs WhatsApp chats to a sheet, runs a morning schedule for status=asked leads, routes Day 1/3/7 templates, and writes last_nudged_date so the same nudge never fires twice — after a bug that re-sent Day 3 every run.
A Reddit user built Pinloop, an open-source CLI, with Claude Code: it pulls postings from company hiring systems, judges each against their resume, and drops strong fits into a morning shortlist — they applied to 190 picks from ~10k reads and got 2 offers.
Scrapes 500+ leads, verifies the emails, writes a personalized icebreaker from each lead's website, and uploads everything to an Instantly campaign.
Before a client call, the agent built a meeting-prep website and a demo dashboard of the data it can pull, tested on a real use case.
Picks a contact from the database, writes a briefing, drafts a custom message, attaches portfolio assets, builds a presentation, logs it in the CRM, sends, follows up, and adds booked meetings to Calendar. It runs daily.
A context bug made the agent drop its polite template and send blunt, specific critiques of founders' sites to 40 founders. The author reports a 62% reply rate, 8 calls, and 2 paid $300 audits.
Sales Navigator list enriched in Clay, Claude writes a personalized first email, 2 follow-ups and 3 subject lines, then emails are verified and sent via Smartlead.
A builder posted plain n8n workflow-run videos on a 40-subscriber channel, and a viewer hired him for €750 paid upfront.
For a local newsletter, the agent finds businesses already running local ads, checks they serve the area, finds the contact info they publish, and saves each lead with the original ad attached. It never guesses contact details and flags anything it couldn't verify.
An n8n workflow texts anyone whose call goes unanswered, answers questions from the business's own info, and texts the owner when a lead is ready. It double-checks the call was really missed and won't double-text. It's live at a bike touring company.
A marketer connected Grok Bot to his lead tracker. It found a lead that had gone quiet, came up with an approach, and wrote a re-engagement email.
An influencer agency had about 500 new emails a day, with only 2–4 qualified brand deals among them. It set up Lindy on each influencer's Gmail inbox with custom prompts to qualify leads and send replies.
A media company trained a Zapier agent on its target advertiser personas. The agent searches the web for matching companies and contacts and drops them into Google Sheets, ready for review or for import into Salesforce or Instantly.
Zapier's tutorial sets up an agent that runs whenever a contact is added in HubSpot. It searches the web for the person and company and fills in the empty fields. A second agent checks your calendar each morning and sends you a Slack DM with background on external meeting guests.
An xAI post-sales lead runs a routine that checks every 15 minutes but only writes a prep card when a call is 15 to 35 minutes away. The card covers who's on the invite and who actually accepted, the one thing to leave the call with, a few talking points with links, and a short do-not list. Other routines list unfinished promises three times a day and surface unanswered asks where the next move is hers.
After every sales call, an agent writes it into the call log and the CRM, and before anyone gets a number to call, it checks that log first. The team once almost called a broker they had already spoken to, with three new scripts ready; since then nothing goes on the call list without that check.
xAI's enterprise GTM lead shares the prompt for a weekly media rundown on each strategic account. Before the first run it asks which industry, signal topics and roles matter. Then it searches for new webinars, podcasts, talks, exec interviews and X posts from people at the account, keeps a state file so it only reports genuinely new items, and actually consumes each one: 3 to 6 takeaways, every mention of your category and competitors with sentiment, quotes with timestamps, and possible buying signals. If nothing is new, it sends one line saying so.
