What This Workflow Does

This automation transforms your outbound sales process by creating personalized AI-generated video and voice messages at scale. The workflow automatically pulls new leads from Google Sheets, generates customized outreach content using Perplexity AI, then creates lifelike video messages with HeyGen and voice notes with ElevenLabs.

Traditional personalized outreach requires hours of manual work per prospect. This workflow eliminates that bottleneck by automatically creating hyper-personalized video messages that include the prospect's name, company details, and relevant talking points - all without manual intervention.

How It Works

1. Lead Data Ingestion

The workflow starts by pulling new lead records from Google Sheets, including contact information, company details, and any custom fields you've collected.

2. AI Content Generation

Perplexity AI analyzes the lead data to generate personalized talking points tailored to each prospect's industry, role, and company specifics.

3. Video Creation

HeyGen transforms the personalized script into a video featuring your AI avatar (or cloned likeness) speaking directly to the prospect by name.

4. Voice Synthesis

ElevenLabs converts the script into natural-sounding voice audio that matches your preferred tone and speaking style.

5. Delivery

The final personalized video and audio files are automatically delivered via email or saved to your CRM for manual outreach.

This workflow is ideal for B2B sales teams, agencies, and consultants who need to scale personalized outreach without sacrificing quality. It's particularly valuable for:
