How this workflow was built

Internal Demo implemented this system using TinyCommand as the execution layer.

  1. Prospect input form
    Sales reps submit target criteria: industry, company size, location, and keywords. The workflow begins automatically.
  2. Prospect discovery and enrichment
    TinyTables enrichment finds matching companies and pulls contact data, company details, and social profiles.
  3. Email personalization
    TinyGPT writes personalized outreach emails for each prospect based on their company data, recent news, and the sales team's value proposition.
  4. Automated outreach
    TinyEmails sends personalized emails with follow-up sequences. Opens and replies are tracked automatically.
The Impact:
  • One workflow replaces Hunter, Apollo, and separate email tools
  • Personalized outreach at scale without manual writing
  • Prospect enrichment happens automatically
  • Follow-up sequences run without manual coordination

The entire system was built in a single session.

This workflow also works for
  • Recruitment teams sourcing candidates
  • Partnership teams reaching out to potential partners
  • Marketing teams running ABM campaigns
  • Any team doing targeted outreach at scale

This is a system-first approach, not a tool-first one.
