Agency Growth Automations — Automated Client Acquisition for Agencies

Automated client acquisition for agencies. Install 5 production-ready n8n workflows — prospect sourcing, cold outreach, inbound routing, client reporting, an...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only n8n workflow pack that requests the expected OAuth credentials inside n8n and otherwise stays within its stated purpose; nothing in the files indicates covert exfiltration or unrelated privileges.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the delivered artifacts: five n8n workflow JSON files and guided setup instructions. Required services (Gmail, Google Sheets, Airtable, Tally, Slack) line up with each workflow's functionality.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs the agent to guide the user through importing the provided JSON files and wiring credentials into n8n. It does require the user to create Google Cloud OAuth credentials and paste them into n8n (Gmail/Sheets scopes) so the workflows can send/read emails and sheets. This is in-scope for the stated purpose but grants the workflows broad Gmail/Google access (expected for email sending and Sheets).

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill (no install spec, no downloaded code). All workflow JSON files are included in the package; nothing is fetched from third-party servers during install.

Credentials

The skill declares no platform environment variables, which is consistent with an instruction-only pack. Functionality depends on user-provided OAuth/API credentials entered into n8n (Gmail OAuth, Google Sheets OAuth, Airtable API key, Slack webhook, Tally webhook). Those credentials are proportionate to the workflows but are sensitive — in particular Gmail OAuth grants send capability, so users should use a test account or carefully control scopes.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no install-time modification of other skills or global agent settings. The skill does not request permanent platform-level privileges.

Assessment

This pack is internally coherent and appears to do what it claims, but review these points before installing: - These workflows require sensitive OAuth/API credentials (Gmail OAuth to send email, Google Sheets OAuth, Airtable API key, Slack webhook). You will enter those credentials into your n8n instance — do not paste them into chat or share them elsewhere. - Gmail OAuth grants the ability to send email from the connected account. Test workflows with a throwaway/test address before pointing them at real clients or your primary mailbox to avoid accidental mass sends. - The Cold Prospect Radar includes an HTTP request to a Google Custom Search endpoint with a search key placeholder; confirm whether the search API you enable has free limits or possible charges. - Webhook IDs and webhook URLs in the JSON are placeholders (REPLACE_WITH_...). Replace them with your own values; do not reuse secrets from other systems. - The skill links to a paid Gumroad PDF pack (marketing/paid guide). That external link is unrelated to runtime behavior — it’s just a purchase offer. - Because the workflows run inside n8n and can be activated to run on schedules or webhooks, review and test each workflow's triggers, data mappings, and recipient fields before toggling them to ON. If you want stronger assurance, request: a short walkthrough from the author showing a test run, or run the workflows in an isolated n8n instance with test credentials first.

Agency Growth Automations

Stop building your client acquisition from scratch. These 5 workflows already handle it.

You've got enough n8n to know what's possible. You don't have enough hours to build five production-ready workflows for your own agency — debug them, wire all the credentials, and actually ship them. That's what this pack is.

5 workflows. Guided setup. Zero paid APIs.

• Cold Prospect Radar → never manually research leads again
• Cold Email Sequencer → outreach runs while you sleep
• Inbound Lead Router → every form submission lands in your CRM automatically
• Client Reporting Bot → weekly reports sent without touching a dashboard
• Proposal Follow-Up Engine → never let a proposal go cold again

Guided Setup Flow

When the user asks to set up any workflow, follow this sequence:

Step 1: Assess — Which Problem First?

Ask the user which client acquisition problem they want to solve first:

1. Finding prospects → Cold Prospect Radar (WF01)
2. Sending outreach at scale → Cold Email Sequencer (WF02)
3. Routing inbound leads automatically → Inbound Lead Router (WF03)
4. Automating client reports → Client Reporting Bot (WF04)
5. Following up on proposals → Proposal Follow-Up Engine (WF05)

If they're unsure, recommend WF03 (Inbound Lead Router) — it's the fastest win. Connect a form, get it running in 20 minutes, and immediately see the automation working.

Step 2: Select Workflow

Based on their answer, recommend one workflow from the manifest below. Explain in plain English:

• What it does
• What problem it solves
• What happens after they activate it

Step 3: Pre-Flight Check

Before importing, confirm they have the required free accounts ready:

All workflows need:

• n8n (self-hosted on any $5/mo VPS, or n8n Cloud free tier)

Workflow-specific:

• WF01, WF04: Google Sheets API (OAuth via Google Cloud Console)
• WF02, WF03, WF04, WF05: Gmail OAuth (Google Cloud Console — one-time setup, ~10 min)
• WF02, WF03, WF05: Airtable (free account + API key)
• WF03: Tally form (free account) + Slack (optional)

If they haven't set up Google Cloud Console OAuth yet, walk them through it first — it's a one-time setup that unlocks Gmail + Sheets for all relevant workflows.

Step 4: Import to n8n

Provide the workflow JSON file path from this skill's references/ directory:

Workflow	JSON File
WF01 — Cold Prospect Radar	references/01-cold-prospect-radar.json
WF02 — Cold Email Sequencer	references/02-cold-email-sequencer.json
WF03 — Inbound Lead Router	references/03-inbound-lead-router.json
WF04 — Client Reporting Bot	references/04-client-reporting-bot.json
WF05 — Proposal Follow-Up Engine	references/05-proposal-followup-engine.json

Import steps (n8n):

1. Open n8n → Workflows → New
2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) → Import from File
3. Select the JSON file from references/
4. Workflow loads with all nodes visible

Step 5: Wire Credentials

Walk them through credential setup for the selected workflow. Be specific:

Gmail OAuth (all workflows):

• n8n → Credentials → New → Gmail OAuth2
• Paste Client ID + Secret from Google Cloud Console
• Authorize via browser popup

Google Sheets (WF01, WF04):

• n8n → Credentials → New → Google Sheets OAuth2
• Same OAuth app as Gmail — just add Sheets scope

Airtable (WF02, WF03, WF05):

• Airtable → Account → API → Generate token
• n8n → Credentials → New → Airtable Token API
• Paste token

Tally (WF03 only):

• Copy webhook URL from the Webhook node in n8n
• Paste into your Tally form's Integrations → Webhook

Step 6: Test Run

Before going live, run a dry test:

1. Open the workflow in n8n
2. Click Execute Workflow (top right)
3. Check the execution log — all nodes should show green

What success looks like:

• WF01: Row appears in your Google Sheet with prospect data
• WF02: Email appears in Gmail Sent, Airtable record updated
• WF03: Test form submission → appears in Airtable + email received
• WF04: Client report email sent to test address
• WF05: Follow-up email sent (or scheduled, if using date-based triggers)

If any node fails: check the error log, confirm credentials, confirm the data schema matches (Airtable field names, Sheet column headers).

Step 7: Go Live

Once the test run succeeds:

1. Activate the workflow — toggle the switch in the top-right corner to ON
2. Confirm the trigger is set correctly (schedule, webhook, or manual)
3. Set your real data — point to your actual Airtable base / Google Sheet / Tally form

For scheduled workflows (WF01, WF02, WF04): confirm the cron time in the Schedule Trigger node matches your timezone.

Step 8: Next Workflow

After one workflow is live, recommend the next in the recommended deployment sequence:

Recommended order:

1. WF03 — Inbound Lead Router (fastest win)
2. WF05 — Proposal Follow-Up Engine (stop leaking proposals)
3. WF01 — Cold Prospect Radar (proactive outreach)
4. WF02 — Cold Email Sequencer (outreach at scale)
5. WF04 — Client Reporting Bot (professional reporting)

Full deployment of all 5 typically takes 2–4 hours spread across a week (one workflow per session).
