Sales Navigator to Lemlist: n8n AI Icebreakers w/ Evaboot, OpenAI & Slack

Turn LinkedIn Sales Navigator links into personalized lemlist replies—automatically (with Slack alerts)

This n8n workflow takes a LinkedIn Sales Navigator lead URL, uses Evaboot to extract lead + verified email, generates a single-sentence AI icebreaker with OpenAI (GPT-4.1-mini), then creates the lead in your lemlist campaign and posts results to Slack.

What this workflow does

• Collects the lead URL via an n8n form submission.
• Extracts lead & company data + verified email by sending the Sales Navigator URL to Evaboot, waiting and retrying after a 1-minute wait until extraction completes.
• Normalizes the extracted response into a single lead record for downstream use.
• Checks email deliverability: if the email is empty or marked invalid, it posts a warning to Slack.
• Generates a factual AI icebreaker with OpenAI (GPT-4.1-mini), producing one sentence constrained to facts from the extracted lead/company fields.
• Creates or deduplicates the lead in your selected lemlist campaign and stores the generated icebreaker in the custom field/variable used by your campaign.
• Confirms completion in Slack with the lead details and the icebreaker.

Use cases

• SaaS teams who pull prospects from Sales Navigator and want instant, personalized outreach setup in lemlist.
• Automation engineers building n8n AI lead enrichment pipelines with verified emails and controlled messaging.
• Operators who need Slack visibility for missing/invalid emails before outreach goes out.
