Instagram Collab Leads: Apify Scraping + GPT-4o Eval

This n8n workflow streamlines influencer and collaboration prospecting on Instagram. It begins with a manual trigger to search for recent posts under a specified hashtag (e.g., #n8n), uses Apify actors to scrape posting accounts' profiles—including follower counts and bios—and then deploys an AI agent powered by GPT-4o and LangChain to assess each profile's fit as a collaboration lead. The agent provides structured JSON output with a clear Yes/No decision and detailed reasoning, making it easy to prioritize outreach.

Key benefits include massive time savings over manual scouting, scalable niche targeting, and transparent AI-driven decisions that reduce bias. Perfect for automating prospecting in creator economies, it's especially useful for communities like n8n where authentic partnerships drive growth. The workflow handles filtering by follower thresholds and bio relevance, ensuring high-quality leads.

Ideal use cases: Marketers building influencer campaigns, creators seeking co-promotions, or biz devs expanding networks. Setup requires Apify API token for scraping, OpenAI key for AI eval, and LangChain nodes (pre-installed). Run on-demand for fresh leads anytime.

With no-code simplicity, it outputs outreach-ready data, empowering users to focus on relationships rather than research.
