2. Check for Duplicates in Google Sheets
- Each new profile is checked against an existing Google Sheet to prevent duplicate outreach.
- New leads are automatically added to your master sheet.
3. Generate AI Summaries & Outreach Emails
- OpenAI summarizes each profile with key highlights.
- Based on detected services or interests, a personalized outreach email draft is created.
4. Human Review & Approval
- Emails are queued for review and approval before sending.
- Adjust tone or message if needed for better personalization.
5. Send Outreach Messages
- Once approved, messages are sent via Gmail (or another email service).
- Status is updated in Google Sheets for tracking and follow-ups.
