Daily Opportunity & Cold Email
An automated n8n system that researches new job and business opportunities every day and drafts a personalised cold email for each one.
Client — Tomide Williams (personal system)
01The brief
The problem
Job hunting and business development both live or die on being first to reach out, and doing that research by hand every single day isn't sustainable alongside actual client work.
Relevant new roles and launches show up daily across several different sources, and manually checking each one, then writing a tailored email for anything worth pursuing, was consistently the first thing to slip when the day got busy.
I needed a system that finds relevant new opportunities every day and drafts the outreach for each one automatically, so all that's left for me to do is review and send.
02Implementation plan
From brief to build
How we turned the client's challenge into a system their team actually uses.
Pull from real sources daily
Connected job search and launch-tracking APIs to pull fresh, relevant opportunities every day instead of manually searching multiple sites.
Filter for actual fit
Built filtering logic around the specific roles and business types worth pursuing, so the daily list is short and relevant, not a wall of noise.
Draft personalised outreach automatically
Generated a tailored cold email for every opportunity in the list, referencing the specific role or launch rather than a generic template.
Keep a human in the loop
Left final review and send with a person, so every email that goes out has been checked before it lands in someone's inbox.
03Before & After
What changed
Before
- Finding new opportunities each day meant manually checking several job boards and launch trackers by hand.
- Every outreach email was drafted from scratch, which meant either spending real time per email or sending generic ones that got ignored.
- The volume of manual research needed made it easy to fall behind or miss good opportunities entirely.
After
- A daily automated pull surfaces relevant opportunities without any manual searching.
- Every opportunity comes with a personalised draft email already written, ready for a quick review.
- Staying consistent with outreach no longer depends on finding an extra hour in the day.
04Why this approach
The real cost of manual opportunity research isn't the searching itself, it's that research is the first thing to get skipped when the day gets busy.
That meant missed timing on exactly the opportunities that mattered most, the ones that needed a fast, well-written response before someone else got there first.
Automating the daily pull and the first draft of outreach meant the system did the work every day without fail, and a person only needed to review and hit send.
