How does this automation work?
Bardeen automates the process of creating personalized recruiting emails by leveraging data from LinkedIn profiles and Apollo.io within Google Sheets. The playbook targets recruiters and hiring managers aiming to enhance their candidate outreach. By automating the enrichment of contact information and the crafting of personalized messages, recruiters can increase their engagement rate and reduce time spent on manual data entry.
Here is how this workflow creates personalized recruiting emails:
- Step 1: Extract data from Google Sheets - The first step involves retrieving information from a specific Google Sheet. This sheet contains the LinkedIn profile links of potential candidates.
- Step 2: Get LinkedIn Profile Links - This command pulls the LinkedIn profile links from a specified column within the table acquired from Google Sheets.
- Step 3: Extract LinkedIn URLs - Bardeen then processes the contents of the column to extract LinkedIn profile URLs for use in the next step.
- Step 4: Enrich with Apollo.io - Using Apollo.io, Bardeen enriches the LinkedIn profile data to obtain comprehensive contact information for each potential candidate.
- Step 5: Generate personalized emails - Bardeen AI Actions creates customized recruitment emails for each candidate, enhancing the personal touch in your outreach.
- Step 6: Update Google Sheets - Finally, the Google Sheet is updated with the new, personalized email messages and any additional information sourced from Apollo.io.

Step 1: Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet
The first step is to create a Google Sheet with the LinkedIn profiles that you want to send emails for.
Bardeen will extract information from the Google Sheet using the LinkedIn links and Apollo.io. It will then use the information to enrich the sheet with contact information like social media links, location data, email addresses, phone numbers and more. Finally, it will create personalized recruitment emails for each contact and update the spreadsheet with the information.
Step 2: Install the extension and choose your email bot
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Sheets. Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to choose or specify your email bot. You can choose an existing bot that you created in the past or customize a new one from the dropdown. For the purpose of this tutorial, let’s choose to customize an email bot.
BardeenAI will begin customizing your email bot by gathering information about you using tools like Apollo.io.
It will then display all the pre-filled information it has found about you.
Review this information and make edits if necessary. This information will be used when constructing your recruiting emails.
After you have read, edited and approved all the information, your email bot is now ready. Bardeen will also ask you to input an optional scheduling link to include in your emails. You will also need to enter the column name that contains your LinkedIn profile links. For our purposes, this is “Profile Link”.
Click on “Save Input” and check mark your email bot, the scheduling link, the maximum number of profiles and the Google Sheets spreadsheet. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Step 3: Run the playbook to create personalized recruiting emails using LinkedIn profile links in Google Sheets
To enrich and create recruiting emails from LinkedIn profiles, activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will use the LinkedIn links to get information about the contacts using Apollo.io. It will also use the information and your email bot to generate customized recruitment emails for each contact.
