## 🔄 Automated Workflows

### Workflow 1: DAILY DISCOVERY (6am NZDT)
**Trigger:** Cron job  
**Frequency:** Every weekday

```python
# Max runs automatically:
1. Check current pipeline count
2. If < 500 active prospects:
   → Find 50 new companies (Apify + Apollo)
3. Run enrichment pipeline on all 50
4. Quality check:
   ✓ Valid domain (not parked/for sale)
   ✓ Confirmed CA storage (via website scan)
   ✓ 10+ rooms estimated
   ✓ No duplicates in database
5. Pass verification → Add to enrichment queue
6. Fail verification → Log to "review-needed.csv"
```

**Output:**
- 40-50 verified new companies/day → ~250/week
- Automatically added to system
- Dashboard updates: "50 new companies added today ✓"

---

### Workflow 2: CONTACT ENRICHMENT (Continuous)
**Trigger:** New company added OR daily 8am sweep  
**Frequency:** Real-time + daily batch

```python
# For each company in queue:
1. Domain search (Snov.io):
   → Find all employees with titles matching:
      ["quality", "operations", "production", "technical", "facility", "general manager"]
2. Rank contacts by title priority:
   1st: Quality Manager
   2nd: Operations Manager
   3rd: Production Manager
3. Email verification (Hunter.io):
   ✓ Valid format
   ✓ Not catch-all
   ✓ Not role-based (info@, sales@)
   ✓ Deliverability score >70%
4. Get top 3 verified contacts
5. Quality check:
   ✓ At least 1 contact found
   ✓ All emails verified
   ✓ Titles match target roles
6. Pass → Add to personalization queue
7. Fail → Flag for manual LinkedIn search (alert Jonny)
```

**Output:**
- 3 verified contacts per company
- 90%+ email deliverability guaranteed
- Dashboard: "750 contacts enriched this week ✓"

---

### Workflow 3: EMAIL PERSONALIZATION (Continuous)
**Trigger:** Contact enrichment complete  
**Frequency:** Real-time

```python
# For each contact:
1. Gather personalization data:
   - Company: Name, location, fruit type, room count
   - Contact: First name, title
   - Context: Similar customers in region, relevant case study
2. Generate custom email (Claude API via me):
   - Subject line (2 variations for A/B test)
   - Email body (personalized introduction)
   - Case study selection (based on fruit type)
   - ROI stat (based on room count)
3. Quality check:
   ✓ No placeholder text ({{tokens}} all replaced)
   ✓ Grammar check passed
   ✓ Length 150-200 words
   ✓ Case study relevant to fruit type
4. Pass → Add to Instantly queue
5. Fail → Regenerate (max 2 attempts)
```

**Output:**
- Fully personalized emails ready to send
- A/B test variants generated
- Dashboard: "450 emails personalized this week ✓"

---

### Workflow 4: INSTANTLY CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT (Continuous)
**Trigger:** Personalized email ready

```python
# Campaign setup:
1. Route to correct campaign based on:
   - Region (USA, UK, AU, NZ, SA, CA)
   - Fruit type (Apples, Citrus, Kiwis, etc.)
2. Add contact to campaign via Instantly API
3. Set sequence:
   Day 0: Email 1 (personalized intro)
   Day 3: Email 2 (value add resource)
   Day 7: Email 3 (social proof)
   Day 14: Email 4 (last chance)
   Day 21: Email 5 (break-up)
4. Configure send time:
   - Based on contact timezone
   - Business hours only (8am-5pm local)
5. Activate sequence
6. Monitor deliverability
```

**Output:**
- Auto-added to appropriate campaign
- Sequence starts automatically
- Dashboard: "150 contacts in active sequences"

---

### Workflow 5: REPLY MONITORING (Hourly)
**Trigger:** Cron every hour  
**Frequency:** Hourly during business hours

```python
# Check Instantly inbox:
1. Fetch all new replies
2. Categorize with AI:
   ✅ POSITIVE ("interested", "tell me more", "when can we talk")
      → Flag HIGH PRIORITY
      → Telegram alert to Jonny
      → Add to "Hot Leads" in dashboard
   
   📧 NEUTRAL ("send me info", "not now but later")
      → Auto-reply with case study PDF
      → Schedule follow-up in 2 weeks
      → Add to "Nurture" queue
   
   ❌ NEGATIVE ("not interested", "remove me")
      → Auto-unsubscribe from sequence
      → Archive
   
   🔄 OUT OF OFFICE
      → Pause sequence
      → Resume after OOO end date
   
   ❓ UNCLEAR
      → Flag for Jonny review
      → Pause sequence until reviewed
3. Update dashboard with reply stats
4. Log all interactions to Close.io
```

**Output:**
- Hot leads flagged within 1 hour
- Auto-responses sent for common replies
- Dashboard: "12 positive replies this week 🔥"

### Workflow 6: MEETING BOOKING (Real-time)

# When positive reply detected:
1. Telegram alert to Jonny:
   "🔥 HOT LEAD: [Company Name]
   Contact: [Name] ([Title])
   Reply: [First 100 chars of reply]
   
   Action needed: Reply and send Calendly link"
   
2. Suggested reply (pre-written by me):
   "Great to hear, [First Name]! 
   
   Here's my calendar - grab a time that works:
   calendly.com/jonny_shannon/30mins
   
   I'll prepare some examples from [similar company] 
   specific to [fruit type] storage.
   
   Looking forward to it!
   Jonny"
   
3. Track response time (Jonny's reply speed)
4. When meeting booked:
   → Add to dashboard "Meetings This Week"

```

```python
# Nightly cleanup:
1. Check for bounced emails:
   → Remove from all sequences
   → Find replacement contact
   → Re-enrich company
2. Check for duplicates:
   → Same email in multiple campaigns
   → Merge records
3. Verify campaign health:
   → Deliverability rate >95%
   → Open rate >20%
   → Reply rate >5%
   → If below threshold → Alert Jonny
4. Archive completed sequences (21+ days, no reply)
5. Generate weekly report (if Monday)
