Prompt Recreated prompt
The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Turn my daily outbound routine into one command: scrape leads, score them against my ICP, write copy with spintax, and upload the campaign to Instantly on a schedule.
Try this in:
Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.
The source used Claude Code, which can take actions on your computer or in a browser. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Goal: Turn my daily outbound routine into one command: scrape, score, write copy and upload to Instantly. Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Lead sources - ICP criteria - Copy guidelines - Instantly API key - Daily sending limit and warm-up status Rules: - Score leads with a clear rubric and log reasons. - Write copy with spintax within my guidelines. - Upload campaigns in draft mode. - Respect sending limits. - Remove leads already in past campaigns or on a do-not-contact list. - Keep claims in copy factual; no fake personalization. - Write a run log: leads scraped, scored, kept, uploaded. - Never send without my OK on the first batch. - Deduplicate leads against past campaigns. - Log each lead's status. - Personalise each email with one true, sourced detail; never invent facts about the lead. - Include an unsubscribe line and follow sending rules for the regions you target. Checkpoint: Never launch campaigns without my approval. If you get stuck: If scraping is blocked, skip that source. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords. Verify before you finish: Run on a small batch and review. Output: Script, run log and draft campaign. Done when: one command produces a reviewed, ready campaign.
