Add a workflow

How to create

1. 1. Create the file

   Add one file to workflows/, which has no subfolders. The file name becomes the key and the URL. To rename it later, list the old name under aliases and the old URL redirects.

   funding-signal-outbound.md
   at-risk-customer-rescue.md
   competitor-intent.md

2. 2. Write the header

   Phrase the title as the result it reaches, not the tools it uses. The summary is one sentence. author is your GitHub login — workflows are by people, not companies, so the page shows your avatar and links to your profile. Under tags, add the motion and channel it serves (motion:outbound, channel:email) from tags.yml; its capabilities come from its tools.

   title: Turn fresh funding news into qualified outbound
   summary: Find recently funded teams, enrich the right buyers, and send a relevant message while the signal is still fresh.

3. 3. List what the agent must ask for

   Under ## Inputs, one line per input: its name in snake_case and backticks, a colon, then what it is. Add , e.g. and an example when it helps. Steps refer to an input by the same name in backticks, never as {{templates}}.

   ## Inputs
   
   - `target_segment`: the kind of company to watch, e.g. Series A B2B SaaS in the US
   - `campaign_id`: the lemlist campaign that sends the emails from your mailbox, e.g. cam_123; its email reads each lead's drafted text from a custom variable

4. 4. Write the steps

   Under ## Steps, a numbered list of one to ten steps: the step’s title in bold, “with” the tool it uses — a published tool’s key, linked to ../companies/<handle>/tools/<name>.md — a full stop, then what to do with it. Say what to do, not how the tool works: the tool’s own file already covers setup. The build links every step to its tool, and every tool page back to the workflows that use it.

   ## Steps
   
   1. **Find funded companies** with [people-data-labs/search-companies](../companies/people-data-labs/tools/search-companies.md). List companies matching `target_segment` whose `last_funding_date` falls in the last 30 days, with `size` up to 100 and `scroll_token` for the next page. Keep name, domain, latest round and date.
   2. **Find the buyer** with [apollo/search-people](../companies/apollo/tools/search-people.md). For each company, find the head of growth or marketing; skip companies with no match.
   3. **Get their emails** with [apollo/bulk-enrich-people](../companies/apollo/tools/bulk-enrich-people.md). Enrich each buyer, up to 10 per call. Keep their name, title and work email.
   4. **Write emails** with [anthropic/create-message](../companies/anthropic/tools/create-message.md). Draft a three-sentence plain-text email per contact: congratulate the round, name one thing they will now have budget for, ask one question. Show the drafts to the user.
   5. **Send** with [lemlist/add-lead-to-campaign](../companies/lemlist/tools/add-lead-to-campaign.md). After the user approves, add each contact to `campaign_id` with their approved email as a custom variable.

5. 5. Say when it is done

   Under ## Done when, list at least one check that means the job is finished. Leave out safety rules such as asking before sending: every file ends with them automatically.

   ## Done when
   
   - Every funded company has a contact, or a note explaining why not.
   - Every approved contact is in the campaign, and the user has a summary table.

6. 6. Check it locally

   One command parses every file, resolves every reference and renders the result. It reports every problem at once, each with the file that caused it (and the line, for a problem in the body). The same checks run again in CI on your pull request.

   pnpm install
   pnpm content:check
   pnpm dev   # then open /workflows/funding-signal-outbound

7. 7. Open a pull request

   Send one company, tool or workflow per pull request. Say what you added and how you checked the facts. Reviewers check accuracy; the build handles formatting.
