How to set Zapier + ChatGPT for cold lead follow-ups
I run a two-person sales team and need a Zapier flow that uses ChatGPT to draft contextual cold outreach. Must include retry logic when the AI output lacks contact details.

Flow outline: Trigger (new lead) → Call ChatGPT with a template prompt (lead fields + desired tone). Use Formatter/Regex to extract email/phone from the draft. If missing, increment a counter (Zapier Storage or Looping), Delay (1m, 5m, 30m), resend with an adjusted prompt that explicitly asks for contact details; repeat up to 3 attempts. If still missing, route to Slack/Inbox for manual follow-up and log in Google Sheets. Test with bad/missing input cases.
