This workflow uses n8n (an open-source automation tool you host yourself) to check your prospect list every week and send a series of 3 follow-up messages over 15 days through Respond.io. Each message is spaced out automatically — you set it up once and it runs on its own. This is ideal if you have a steady stream of inbound leads and want a repeatable outreach process.

Step 1: Set up n8n on DigitalOcean (a cloud hosting service) using their one-click app install
Step 2: Create a Coda or Notion table as your prospect list with columns for Name, Email, Status, and Last Message Sent
Step 3: In n8n, build a workflow that reads your prospect list every Monday morning
Step 4: Add logic nodes (decision points in the workflow) to check how many days since the last message was sent
Step 5: Connect Respond.io to n8n and map message templates for Day 1, Day 5, and Day 15 follow-ups
Step 6: Add a final step to update the prospect's status in your table after each message sends

Coda is a doc-meets-database-meets-app platform that lets you build custom workflows inside a familiar document interface.

Packs (integrations) connect Coda to Slack, Jira, Google Calendar, GitHub, Salesforce, and 600+ other tools. Templates give you pre-built solutions for OKR tracking, meeting notes, product roadmaps, and more. Coda AI helps generate formulas, summarize content, and draft text inside your docs.
