How to Get Unlimited Leads with AI Agents in N8N

AI automation is revolutionizing lead generation, and with tools like N8N and AI agents, you can streamline the process to generate unlimited, highly qualified leads. This guide walks you through setting up an automated outbound system using N8N and Instagram scraping to scale your business effortlessly.

Step 1: Sign Up for N8N

First, you need to register on N8N.io—a powerful automation tool that allows you to connect different workflows.

  1. Visit N8N.io and create an account.
  2. Once inside, you’ll be able to create custom workflows for scraping, qualifying, and storing leads.

Step 2: Install the Groman IG Email Extractor

To extract Instagram followers and their emails, you need the Groman IG Email Extractor extension:

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Search for “IG Groman” and install the IG Email Extractor extension.
  3. This tool will help you scrape followers of specific accounts and export their data.

Step 3: Create Your AI Prompt for Lead Scraping

Now, let’s configure your AI agent to find the right leads. Use the following AI prompt and adjust it to fit your business:

“I run a [business type] that helps [target audience] achieve [specific goal] through [service/methodology] in [location]. I usually work with [specific type of clients]. Find Instagram users in this niche so I can scrape their followers for leads.”

This will help the AI agent identify relevant Instagram accounts for your outreach.

Step 4: Find Target Accounts on Instagram

Now, use AI to search for five Instagram usernames of influential figures in your niche. For example:

  • Search for personal brands like Charlie Morgan or Jordan Platten to find similar accounts.
  • Choose those with a significant following that matches your target audience.

Step 5: Scrape Instagram Followers

Once you have the usernames, extract their followers using IG Groman:

  1. Open IG Groman and paste the Instagram username of the account you want to scrape.
  2. Click on “Extract Followers” and let the tool work.
  3. Once complete, click “Export X Followers to Excel” to download the data.

Step 6: Store Leads in a Google Sheet

  1. Open Google Sheets and name it “Qualified Leads”.
  2. Import the exported Instagram followers list into the sheet.
  3. Connect your Google Sheet to N8N so the workflow can process the data.

Step 7: Automate Lead Qualification with AI

Now that you have leads, the next step is automatic qualification:

  1. In N8N, set up an AI agent to analyze and filter leads based on:
    • Follower count
    • Engagement rate
    • Industry relevance
  2. Let the AI categorize leads into “Qualified” and “Unqualified” automatically.

Step 8: Filter Out Unqualified Leads

To clean your leads list:

  1. Open Google Sheets.
  2. Click Filter → Add Filter → Type “Unqualified”.
  3. Remove any unqualified prospects to keep only high-quality leads.

Step 9: Scale Up with Automated Outreach

Once you have purely qualified leads, start automated messaging:

  1. Send 250+ DMs per day to these leads.
  2. Expect 20% reply rate and a 2% booking rate.
  3. This results in 5+ meetings per day, all on autopilot.

Conclusion

By combining N8N, AI Agents, and Instagram scraping, you can fully automate lead generation and qualification. This system eliminates manual work, letting you scale your business efficiently.
