The problem it solves

Keeping a cold outreach list moving means remembering who to email each day and manually marking who's already been contacted. It's easy to lose track, double-email someone, or let the list stall for days at a time.

Who it fits

A small sales team or founder running first-touch cold outreach from a Notion list.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule, weekdays only
  2. Pulls up to ten new prospects from your Notion database
  3. Picks a personalized email template for each one
  4. Sends the emails automatically
  5. Marks each prospect as contacted in Notion
What you get

New prospects who get a first-touch email automatically

New prospects on your list get a personalized first email automatically on weekdays, and your Notion record updates to show they've been contacted.

What you get

A steady stream of first-touch emails sent to new prospects, with your Notion list kept up to date.

What you need

A Notion account and a Resend account with a verified sending address.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
