1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
3. Google Sheets Configuration:
   • Prepare a Google Sheet with the exact column names: linkedin_url, name, twitter_handler, email, done.
   • Configure the 'Google Sheets Trigger' node: connect your Google Sheets credential, select your spreadsheet, and sheet name. Ensure it's set to trigger on new rows (or adjust poll times as needed).
4. Company Personalization:
   • Open the 'Set your company's variables' node. Update the your_company_name, your_company_activity, your_email, and your_name fields with your information.
5. RapidAPI Configuration:
   • Create an account on RapidAPI (rapidapi.com).
   • Subscribe to the 'Fresh Linkedin Profile Data' API and the 'twitter-api47' API. Note their respective x-rapidapi-host values from the API documentation on RapidAPI.
   • In n8n, go to Credentials and create a new 'Header Auth' credential for RapidAPI. Name it (e.g., 'RapidAPI Key'), set Header Name to x-rapidapi-key, and paste your RapidAPI key as the Value.
   • Assign this 'RapidAPI Key' credential to the 'Get linkedin Posts', 'Get twitter ID', and 'Get tweets' HTTP Request nodes.
   • Verify the x-rapidapi-host parameter in each of these nodes matches the host provided by RapidAPI for that specific API (e.g., fresh-linkedin-profile-data.p.rapidapi.com and twitter-api47.p.rapidapi.com).
6. OpenAI Configuration:
   • In the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node, select or create your OpenAI API credential. Ensure the selected model is gpt-4o or a comparable one.
   • Review and customize the prompt within the 'Generate Subject and cover letter based on match' node to refine the AI's output style and focus. The current prompt expects the social media data and your lead's name as input.
7. Email Dispatch Configuration:
   • Configure the 'Send Cover letter and CC me' node: select or create your SMTP credential, set the 'From Email', and verify the 'To Email' correctly pulls the lead's email ({{ $('Google Sheets Trigger').item.json.email }}) and your email ({{ $('Set your company\'s variables').item.json.your_email }}) for CC.
8. Google Sheets Update Node:
   • Configure the 'Google Sheets' (update operation) node: connect your Google Sheets credential, select the same spreadsheet and sheet name used in the trigger. Ensure it's set to update the 'done' column (e.g., with 'X') for the correct row, using linkedin_url as the matching column.
9. Save and activate the workflow. Add a new lead to your Google Sheet (ensure the 'done' column is empty) to test the automation.
