Find SMTP-Verified Decision Maker Emails (Apify) for n8n

Find SMTP-Verified Decision Maker Emails for Your Domains (Apify + n8n)

This n8n workflow takes your company domains, asks Apify’s company-decision-maker-finder Actor for decision makers, and returns only the contacts with SMTP-verified, sendable work emails—ready for your outreach pipelines.

What this workflow does

• Manual run in n8n: Start by clicking Test workflow (manual execution).
• Builds an Apify input payload: Sends your list of domains along with search options, including email verification, AI discovery, and a target persona preset.
• Calls Apify via HTTP Request: Runs the Apify Actor pequod-labs/company-decision-maker-finder using your Apify API token.
• Normalizes results: Converts the Apify response into one row per domain/contact with fields such as name, role, email, email status, phone, LinkedIn URL, and confidence.
• Filters for deliverability: Keeps only decision makers where Apify marks the email as SMTP-verified and sendable.

Use cases

• B2B lead research: Quickly build a decision-maker list by domain with deliverability-focused email filtering.
• SaaS sales ops: Enrich target companies with founders/CEOs, sales leaders, or ops roles (persona presets).
• Outreach preparation: Export verified contact rows for email campaigns while reducing bounce risk.

Technical details

• Apify integration: Uses the Apify API (HTTP Request) with Header Auth in the format Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>.
• n8n nodes: Set, Code, Filter, Sticky Note, HTTP Request, Manual Trigger.
• Requirements: Paid Apify plan (PPE Actors need it) and n8n Cloud free or self-hosted.
