I closed a $45K deal using an n8n workflow that replaced Clay entirely. Here’s the exact system I built.
Most sales reps spend $349/month on Clay for AI-powered outreach. I built the same thing in n8n for under $20/month—and it books more meetings.
In this video, I’ll show you:
– The n8n workflow that researches companies and drafts personalized emails
– How I use Tavily + Claude Sonnet 4.5 for company intelligence
– Real examples: emails that booked meetings with Together AI and Factory AI
– Why I ditched Clay after building this system
This isn’t a coding tutorial. It’s a walkthrough of a proven workflow you can customize for your own outreach.
⚙️ Tools I Use:
– n8n (workflow automation)
– Claude Sonnet 4.5 (AI research + email drafting)
– Tavily (company research API)
– Google Sheets (prospect database)
💰 Cost Comparison:
Clay: $349/month
My n8n setup: ~$20/month
