Scrape Apollo Leads

Apollo Lead Generation & Database Population Workflow Overview This workflow automates on-demand lead generation by fetching targeted contacts from Apollo.io and saving them into a structured Google Sheet. It allows a user to specify lead criteria through a simple form, triggering a process that searches for matching profiles on Apollo, cleans up the retrieved data, and populates a central database for further sales or marketing activities. Technologies Used - n8n: The core automation platform coordinating the workflow. - n8n Form Trigger: Provides a user interface to manually start the workflow with custom inputs. - Apollo.io API: Used as the data source for B2B contact and company information. - Google Sheets: Acts as a simple database to store and manage the generated leads. What it Automates This workflow eliminates the manual, time-consuming process of searching for leads on Apollo.io, copying their information, and pasting it into a spreadsheet. By simply filling out a form with a desired job title, location, and quantity, a user can instantly generate a formatted list of prospects. This creates a scalable and repeatable system for building targeted lead lists, preparing them for future outreach or enrichment automations. \\\ Extensive Node-by-Node Analysis H3: On form submission (Form Trigger) This node serves as the manual entry point for the entire automation. It generates a web form with three required fields: "Job Title," "Location," and "Number of Leads." When a user fills out and submits this form, the workflow is triggered, and the user's inputs are passed along as data to the next node. This makes the lead generation process interactive and adaptable, allowing any user to request a specific list of leads without needing to modify the workflow itself. H3: Generate Leads with Apollo.io (HTTP Request) This node is the engine of the lead generation process. It takes the data submitted from the initial form and uses it to make a POST request to the Apollo.io API's /mixed_people/search endpoint. - Dynamic Query: The body of the API request is dynamically constructed using expressions.
