Overview
Claude Code driving the author's logged-in Chrome read seed pages and LinkedIn profiles to find 25-30 sourced prospects; about 20 emails sent drew 7 replies.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Maintain a campaign folder with a CLAUDE.md file containing rules and contact logs. Use Claude Code in a logged-in Chrome session to crawl 2-3 seed pages, extracting prospect data with source URLs. The agent drafts emails in the mail app, requiring human review and manual sending of the first email to establish a template.
Reported result
Outcomes are unverified as the source fetch failed. Proposed acceptance check: Measure time reduction from baseline (e.g., 3 hours to 1 hour) and track reply rates on a pilot batch of 20 emails. Confirm that 25-30 prospects are identified with valid source URLs before scaling.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a logged-in Chrome session and access to LinkedIn/team pages. Constraints: Source URLs must be attached to each row to prevent hallucinated personalization. Human approval is mandatory for the first email and final sending. Reliability is low due to missing source data; verify all extracted information manually.
Try it
Act as a sales operations agent. I need to build a prospect list and draft cold emails. Inputs: - Seed URLs: [replaceable inputs: 2-3 LinkedIn or team page URLs] - Campaign Rules: [replaceable inputs: target persona, value proposition, tone] - Output Location: [replaceable inputs: local folder path for CLAUDE.md and CSV] Steps: 1. Create a CLAUDE.md file in the output folder with my rules and contact log. 2. Use Claude Code in my logged-in Chrome to visit the seed URLs. 3. Extract 25-30 prospects, ensuring each row has a valid source URL. 4. Draft personalized emails for each prospect in my mail app. 5. STOP. Do not send. Deliverables: - A CSV file with columns: Name, Title, Company, Source URL, Email Draft. - A summary of the extraction process. Quality Check: - Verify that no email contains invented facts. - Confirm source URLs are clickable and relevant. - I will manually write and send the first email as a template. Error Handling: - If a seed page is inaccessible, log the error and ask for an alternative URL. - If fewer than 10 prospects are found, stop and report the issue. Ask clarifying questions only if the target persona is ambiguous.
