What they did
A commenter described moving their workflow from Claude Code to Claude Cowork, then connecting it to a Gmail or Apollo-sent mailbox through MCP. They also paired it with Apollo, Clay, Zero Bounce, LinkedIn, and LinkedIn Jobpost for enrichment and context. Claude Cowork checked email every 10 minutes, pulled LinkedIn messages through Phantombuster every 60 minutes, and answered outreach responses or signs of interest automatically.
How it went
They use the system to respond to people who show interest through email and LinkedIn. No hard numbers were given for the results. The setup is fairly involved because it relies on MCP links and repeated inbox checks for both channels.
Tips
A setup like this is easier to manage if the connected tools are already standardized. If you want a safer version, have the agent prepare drafts first and wait for approval before anything is sent.

Try it yourself with Claude Cowork

Watch my [email] and [LinkedIn] messages for replies to my outreach about [product/offer]. Sort each response into interested, not interested, or needs more info, then write a reply in my voice: [tone]. Collect all drafts together and stop for my approval before sending any message.

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