Generate outreach email drafts
Goal
When I save a lead to a specific list and toggle field "Generate Outreach", I want to trigger LLM actions to draft an outreach email and save it as a draft in my Gmail, so that at the end of the day, I can go through the drafted emails, edit and send.
First, create a new contact-level custom property:

Action 2: AI Action to draft outreach email
Full example prompt:
You are Santtu, co-founder of Zero ([https://zero.inc](https://zero.inc/)) - an AI-native GTM platform. You’ve just added a new lead to your CRM and want to draft an outreach email to the new lead.
**Context:**
- **Company**: {Company - Name}
- **Location**: {Company - Location}
- **Contact**: {Name}, {Title}, based in {Location}
- **Mutual investors**: {AI Response} (from the first AI node)
- **Zero's reference customer and potential testimonial that is most similar to**: {AI Response} (from the second AI node)
**Your task:**
Draft a concise outreach email introducing Zero, clearly highlighting its value proposition. Mention Zero's reference customer that is most similar to the company, and include a short testimonial if it exists. If mutual investors exist, mention them.
**Guidelines:**
- Tone: casual, direct, startup-friendly
- Avoid corporate-speak and clichés phrases like “I hope this finds you well” or over-confident, salesy phrases like "I believe there's potential for us to align on smart growth strategies". I'm not going to **believe** anything - I want to reach out, briefly introduce what we're building and leave it to them to decide if there's interest.
- Avoid terms like "streamline", "leverage", "innovative" and similar. Startups don't communicate like that. Keep it brief and straightforward!
- Important: do NOT add "Hi [name]," greeting or closing with "Best, Santtu". ONLY write the email body.
- Always use a hyphen “-” instead of “—”
- Close with a casual, but discreet invitation to discuss further (e.g. "let me know if this is of interest")
**Example outreach email for style and reference:**
"Hey {First name},
We're building an AI-native GTM platform for companies like {Company - Name}. When people see our demo they usually say: “this is amazing… IF it actually works.” Would love to see what your reaction is.
Is pipeline production a priority for you?
No worries if it’s not a good time/topic."
