Yo everyone! I just finished building a new Make.com workflow for outbound campaigns and wanted to share the sauce. If you do any kind of cold email, you know the pain of scraped data making you sound like a robot (e.g., "Hey! I noticed you work at Elate Staffing Solutions Ltd..."). I built this Growth System to bridge the gap between raw scraped data and perfectly formatted, human-sounding cold emails. Here is the breakdown of how the automation flows: - Trigger (Apify): The workflow kicks off the second an Apify actor finishes scraping a list of target leads. - Validation (Mails.so): It automatically grabs the dataset and runs every email through an HTTP request to an API to check if it's deliverable. Gotta protect that domain reputation! 🛡️ - The Magic Sauce (GPT-4o): Here’s my favorite part. If the email is valid, the data gets passed to GPT-4o. I wrote a prompt that normalizes the company name by stripping out the generic corporate jargon (Inc, LLC, Ltd) and focusing on the most memorable element. So, "Walmart Inc" becomes "Walmart", and "JP Morgan Chase Bank" becomes "JPM". - CRM Push (Instantly): Finally, it pushes the validated email, first name, last name, and the cleaned company name directly into an Instantly campaign. I'm implementing this as part of the backend for my AI automation agency, Zestflow. Honestly, the AI company name cleaner alone is a massive game-changer for keeping personalization looking authentic at scale. Are you guys doing anything similar to clean up your lead lists before sending them to your sending tools? Drop your workflows or tech stacks below!

Yo everyone. Now, it's time to pour fuel on the fire. I am bringing on a Founding Member to take complete ownership of the growth side of the agency. I’m not looking for a standard employee to just punch the clock. I am looking for a partner in the trenches who is hungry to build something massive and actually make a difference. What you will own: - Client Acquisition: Taking the leads generated from our outbound systems and closing the deals. - Client Onboarding: Ensuring a seamless transition from closed-won to operational, getting our AI systems integrated into their workflows. Who this is for: This is for someone who wants to be on the ground floor of an AI automation agency. You should be highly self-motivated, eager to shape the direction of the company, and comfortable being part of the core team (and the documentary series as we scale this thing in public). If you are just looking for a comfortable corporate gig, this isn't it. But if you are a builder who wants to own the sales and onboarding processes and directly drive revenue, we need to talk. Drop a message to zestflow@zohomail.in if you are ready to build.

One thing I’ve noticed across all kinds of businesses is this: Most problems aren’t caused by lack of effort.They’re caused by friction. Friction shows up as: • Missed calls that never get followed up• Leads sitting in inboxes too long• Invoices that need repeated reminders• Clients asking the same questions again and again• Tasks that only get done when someone remembers None of these are “hard” problems. They’re consistency problems. And consistency is exactly where systems and automation shine. Not to replace people —but to support them. When repetitive, predictable work runs automatically, teams get their time and focus back. They move from: → reacting to → thinking From: → chasing to → building The shift usually starts small: Automate one follow-up.Systemize one reminder.Remove one manual step. But those small changes compound fast. And soon, the business doesn’t just move faster —it moves cleaner. So here’s a deeper question: 👉 Where does friction show up most often in your business?👉 And what would change if that friction disappeared? We build automations that remove friction. At our agency, we design smart automation systems that handle follow-ups, workflows, reminders, data flow, and repetitive operations — so your team can focus on growth, customers, and decisions.

I recently posted V1 of my Agency Operations Engine, which used a parallel architecture where the Operations, Financial, and Culture agents ran simultaneously. After testing, I realized the final synthesis was weak because the agents weren't learning from each other. I completely rebuilt the flow to be sequential. The Logic Change: 1. Ingestion: Added a "Wait" node to ensure all files are fully embedded in Pinecone before analysis starts. 2. Sequential Chaining: Instead of running in parallel, the data now flows linearly: Operations Analyst -> Financial Risk Analyst -> Culture Analyst. 3. Partner Synthesis: In V1, I just used a Set node to combine the text. In V2, I added a specialized "Partner Synthesis Agent" that acts as a Senior Partner (McKinsey style), taking the previous outputs to generate a "Strategic Business Health Audit" before writing to Google Docs. The output quality is significantly higher when you force the LLM to build context layer by layer rather than trying to stitch three simultaneous outputs together.

I’m dropping a workflow today that solves the most expensive bottleneck in consulting: The Discovery Phase. We all know the drill. You sign a client, they dump 50 PDFs, contracts, and SOPs into a Google Drive, and you (or your junior staff) spend 2 weeks reading them just to figure out what’s broken. So I built an n8n workflow that does that 2-week "Document Review" in 5 minutes. This isn't just summarizing a PDF. It is a multi-agent RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system designed with a "Split Brain" architecture to handle heavy data loads without hallucinating. How it works: The Input: You submit a Google Drive Folder ID containing the client's "Data Room." The Brain (Vector Store): The workflow ingests binary files, runs them through a Recursive Character Text Splitter (to maintain semantic context across chunks), and upserts the vectors into Pinecone using OpenAI embeddings. The Investigation (The Secret Sauce): instead of dumping everything into one massive prompt (which degrades quality), I set up the Vector Store as a "Tool" and split the logic into 3 Parallel Agents. This allows each agent to query only the specific vectors it needs: - Operations Agent: Queries for process bottlenecks and workflow inefficiencies. - Risk Agent: Scans specifically for financial liability and contract loopholes. - Culture Agent: Retrieves data related to employee sentiment and toxic patterns. The Deliverable: It aggregates the outputs from all three branches into a structured "Gap Analysis Report" in Google Docs. The ROI: Speed: Walk into the kickoff meeting knowing their problems better than they do. Accuracy: Because I used a "retrieve-as-tool" logic, the AI cites the specific document for every finding. Scale: You can run this asynchronously for multiple clients without hitting token limits. JSON attached below. Requires an OpenAI key and a free Pinecone index.
