Extract YouTube Creator Emails via Apify & GPT-4o Mini

This n8n workflow streamlines lead generation by automating the extraction of contact emails from YouTube creators. It starts with keyword-based YouTube searches using Apify's scrapers to identify relevant channels, then scrapes channel descriptions and metadata for potential email addresses. Finally, OpenAI's GPT-4o Mini intelligently parses and validates emails, outputting a clean, structured JSON list ready for CRM import or outreach campaigns.

Key benefits include significant time savings over manual research, high accuracy via AI validation, and scalability for bulk operations. It's ideal for marketing teams, agencies, or businesses seeking influencer partnerships, UGC creators, or collaborators without sifting through endless channels.

Use cases span influencer outreach, affiliate recruitment, podcast guest sourcing, and B2B lead gen in content creation niches. Setup requires OpenAI and Apify API keys, with detailed instructions for two specific YouTube scrapers. The workflow handles authentication via HTTP Query Auth, ensuring secure, automated runs inside n8n.
