Let’s go.

🦾 A.I. In Action

Goal:

Run a hands-off LinkedIn outreach campaign: personalized connection requests → automated follow-ups using A.I.-crafted messages and Zapier + We‑Connect.

Tools You’ll Need:

  1. We‑Connect: A.I.-assisted LinkedIn outreach in beta

  2. Zapier: Automate triggers and logging

  3. OpenAI (ChatGPT via Zapier): Create message templates

  4. Google Sheets: Log connection status/responses

 🛠 Setup Instructions

 Step 1: Set Up We‑Connect Campaign

  • Sign up for We‑Connect (LinkedIn outreach in beta).

  • Create a campaign targeting your ICP: e.g. “Marketing Managers in FinTech.”

  • Enable A.I. Assist to generate personalized connection/follow-up messages based on profile data

Step 2: Trigger Zapier When Connection Sent

  • Create a Zap:

    • Trigger: New row in Google Sheet → prospect data from We‑Connect via webhook.

    • Includes: Name, Profile URL, campaign name.

Step 3: Generate A.I. Warm-Up Message

  • Action: OpenAI via Zapier

    • Prompt example:

Write a friendly follow-up message: Hi {FirstName}, thanks for connecting. I noticed you're working on {Company},I'd love to chat about improving {UseCase}. Are you open to a quick chat?

Step 4: Feed Message Back to We‑Connect

  • Action: Zapier Webhook → We‑Connect API (or paste manually)

    • Send A.I. message template assigned to correct contact and time schedule.

Step 5: Log & Track Everything

  • Action: Google Sheets → new row

    • Columns include: Name, Profile URL, Connection Date, Follow-up Message, Response Status.

Step 6: Automate Follow-Up Timing

  • Schedule follow-up 3–5 days later using We‑Connect’s automation. Include A.I. message from Step 3.

Why This Works

  • Hands-off personalization: A.I. crafts unique messages using profile data.

  • Fully automated sequence: Connection + follow-up → tracked in Sheets.

  • Smart timing: Let A.I. determine when and what to say next.

  • Scale safely: We‑Connect handles human-like behavior to reduce flags.
