PitchPilot: Freelance Pitch Tracker & Follow-Up
PitchPilot: Freelance Pitch Tracker & Follow-Up ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.
Never let a pitch die of silence again — a daily sweep of your pitch log drafts a non-desperate AI follow-up in Gmail at day 7 and day 14, so no commission slips through the cracks.
- Track every pitch in a Google Sheet you already keep, one row per piece-times-publication
- Flag pitches that have gone quiet past a 7-day or 14-day threshold, checked automatically every morning
- Draft a specific, non-desperate AI follow-up for each due pitch, tuned by how many follow-ups you've already sent
- Create the follow-up as a Gmail draft addressed to the editor — you stay in control of what actually gets sent
- Never nag twice: a built-in cooldown and follow-up counter stop the same pitch getting drafted again next run
- Get a daily Telegram digest of exactly which pitches were followed up on and which failed
Setup Service — optional live install and test. Choose your tier at checkout (not tied to this template's price).
