LinkedIn Outreach on Autopilot

Scrape, qualify, personalize, send — without crossing LinkedIn’s 2025 tripwires.

The stack in the order it runs — data flows from the source through to where it lands.

Why this stack

Apify’s LinkedIn actors are the only ones that haven’t been killed by this year’s session-checks, and the per-run pricing makes "I’ll scrape 500 prospects" a $3 decision instead of a quote-request.

Claude personalizes per-prospect at roughly a fifth of GPT-4 turbo’s cost while keeping the message in voice, not generic-sales-pitch.

Make queues the sends with realistic delay variance (3 to 41 minutes), which is the difference between a real outreach and a flagged account.

The stack (3)

  1. Apify logo
    ApifyOpen

    Marketplace of pre-built web-scraping actors.

    The LinkedIn actors here are the only ones that haven’t been killed by 2025’s session-checks. Predictable per-run pricing.

  2. Claude logo
    ClaudeOpen

    Long-context reasoning model from Anthropic — my daily driver for nuanced writing and orchestration.

    Better tone-matching and longer working memory than GPT for the tasks I care about most: guest messages, drafts, code review.

  3. Make logo
    MakeOpen

    No-code automation builder. Visual scenarios that chain APIs and AI calls.

    Per-operation pricing is cheaper than Zapier at the volumes I run, and the visual editor handles branching cleanly.

How it runs

  1. 1

    Pull prospects with Apify

    Run a Sales Navigator URL through the LinkedIn actor. Persist the JSON output to Airtable.

  2. 2

    Qualify + personalize with Claude

    Per prospect: pass headline + recent posts + your offer. Claude scores fit 0–1 and writes a connection note in your voice.

    uses Claude
  3. 3

    Drip with Make

    Make picks rows where score > 0.7, sends with random 3–41 min delays, marks "sent" in Airtable. No more than 25 per day per account.
