Prospect Monitoring Alert: New Job + Company News via Zapier

What this automation does: Monitors your target prospect list for job changes and company news. When a monitored contact changes roles or their company posts major news, you get an instant alert with a pre-drafted outreach message to act on the trigger while it's hot.

Why it matters: Job changes and company events are the highest-signal outreach triggers in B2B sales. The rep who reaches out within 48 hours of a trigger event gets replies at 3-5x the rate of cold outreach. Manual monitoring across 50+ accounts is impossible. This automation does it automatically.

How to set it up:

  1. Maintain a target account list in a Google Sheet or Airtable base (name, company, LinkedIn URL)
  2. Use Phantombuster's LinkedIn Profile Scraper on a daily schedule to check for role changes
  3. Add a Zapier trigger: when a new row is added to your "Changes Detected" sheet
  4. Pass the change details to Claude API with the Trigger Event Email prompt from Promptifi
  5. Send the drafted outreach to your Gmail drafts and ping yourself in Slack

Note: LinkedIn scraping requires compliance review with your company's legal team. Sales Navigator API is the compliant alternative for enterprise users.

Estimated time saved: 20-30 minutes of manual monitoring per day. Triggers you would have missed entirely.
