Outreach is essential to sales, marketing, recruiting, and business development—but it can be time-consuming to write personalized emails, follow up, and track replies. With generative AI tools like GPT and a powerful automation platform like Albato, you can streamline the entire outreach process.

In this article, you'll learn how to automate outreach using Albato and GPT, from generating tailored messages to delivering them through your preferred channels—all without writing a single line of code.

Why automate outreach

Manual outreach typically involves:

  • Researching leads or contacts

  • Writing customized messages

  • Copy-pasting into email or CRM tools

  • Following up on replies

This is fine at a small scale, but if you’re working with dozens or hundreds of contacts per week, outreach tools become necessary. AI-powered outreach lets you:

  • Save hours on message creation

  • Personalize messages at scale

  • Automate delivery and follow-ups

  • Integrate seamlessly with your CRM or email tools

How to use Albato to automate outreach

Albato is a no-code automation platform that helps you connect apps and build custom workflows. It integrates with over 600 tools—CRMs, spreadsheets, email services, databases, messengers, and AI models like ChatGPT (via OpenAI) and Google Gemini.

With Albato, you can:

-Trigger AI-generated messages based on new contacts

  • Format and enrich data before sending

  • Deliver messages automatically via Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Telegram, or webhook

Step-by-step: Automating outreach with Albato and ChatGPT

Here’s how to build a full outreach automation workflow using Albato and GPT:

1. Choose a contact source

Start with a list of leads or contacts from:

  • A new row in Google Sheets or Airtable

  • A new deal in Pipedrive or HubSpot

  • A form response from Typeform or Google Forms

  • A webhook from your website or app

Albato will watch for new data to trigger the workflow. Check out this guide on how to connect other tools to OpenAI with Albato.

2. Enrich and format input data (Optional)

Before generating your message, you can:

  • Use filters or conditions to segment contacts

  • Format names or titles (e.g., "John Smith" → "Hi John")

  • Add CRM fields like company, industry, or last activity

This data is used to make AI prompts more relevant.

3. Send the prompt to ChatGPT

Next, Albato uses the HTTP or OpenAI module to send a dynamic prompt to GPT (ChatGPT or GPT-4 Turbo). Example prompt:

“Write a friendly cold email introducing our product {product_name} to {first_name}, who works at {company} in the {industry} sector. Focus on {value_prop}, and include a CTA to book a demo.”

ChatGPT returns the message text, which you can format or store for review.

4. Deliver the message

Albato can automatically send the message via:

  • Gmail or Outlook (using OAuth or SMTP)

  • Slack or Telegram (for internal use or teams)

  • HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Salesforce (as a task or note)

  • Mail platforms like Mailchimp, SendPulse, or SendGrid

You can even set up automated follow-ups based on time delays or no response.

Here are a few practical scenarios:

  • New lead added to CRM

  • Albato triggers GPT to write a personalized email

  • Message posted to Slack and emailed automatically

Event invitations

  • Complete control over workflow logic

  • The ability to connect with any app or CRM

  • A no-code interface that anyone can use
