Build a one-off outreach script for vetted leads

A developer used Cursor and GPT-4o to gather freelancer leads, draft outreach, and track replies for a webinar campaign.

What they did
Jesse Stay put together a Cursor-based script that found freelancer profiles in Mexico on LinkedIn, pulled public email addresses, kept only people who appeared to speak English, and used proxies plus anti-detection measures. He then used a Google Apps Script tied to Google Sheets to send customized emails, avoid duplicate sends, and mark each contact as contacted. He also expanded the script to send LinkedIn direct messages and record engagement, while Gmail replies were collected and sorted with GPT-4o.
How it went
He says the full system came together in a single day and the first run worked as intended. He did not share any response or sales totals from the webinar.
Tips
Treat this as a proof of concept, not a pattern to repeat at scale. Repeated automation on LinkedIn can put an account at risk of being banned.

Try it yourself with Cursor

Help me build a small outreach workflow for [target audience] using [source Iโ€™m allowed to use]. First, gather the lead list and create personalized draft messages from [fields I provide], then save them to [sheet/file] for review. Pause and ask for my approval before any step that sends messages, posts, deletes, submits forms, or makes payments. After approval, send at a cautious rate, skip duplicates, and log each send plus any replies or engagement to [sheet/file]. Also flag any parts that may conflict with [platform] rules so I can decide whether to continue.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
