Personalized Thank-You Emails with Website Scraping, GPT-4o, and Gmail

Overview Impress your leads with ultra-personalized “thank you” emails that look hand-written — sent automatically seconds after they submit your intake form.

This workflow instantly scrapes the prospect's website, extracts meaningful copy, and uses AI to write a custom thank-you message referencing something specific from their site. It gives the impression you immediately reviewed their business and crafted a thoughtful reply — without lifting a finger.

Who’s it for Agencies and consultants using intake forms
Freelancers booking discovery calls
B2B businesses that want high-touch first impressions
Sales teams automating initial follow-ups

How it works Triggered when a form (e.g. Tally, Typeform) is submitted
Scrapes the website URL provided in the form
Converts HTML to Markdown and extracts plain copy
Uses AI to write a personalized thank-you message referencing the site
Waits briefly to simulate real typing delay
Sends the message via Gmail (or any email provider)

Example use case > Prospect submits a form with their website: coolstartup.ai
>
> 30 seconds later, they receive:
>
> “Thanks for reaching out! I just checked out Cool Startup’s homepage — love the clean UX and mission around AI for teams. Looking forward to diving into how we might collaborate!”
