Hey AI Break fam!
Today we’re tackling one of the most cost-effective lead-gen tricks you’ll build this year: a no-code Make + Apollo + Apify flow that scrapes thousands of laser-targeted prospects for roughly a dollar.
Let’s dive in.
📝 Quick-Start Cheat-Sheet
Follow these written steps while you watch the video. No fancy software, no big bill—just Make, Apollo & Apify.
1. What you need (all free tiers except Apify)
-
Make.com – where you’ll build the automation
-
Apollo.io – only for the search URL, no paid credits required
-
Apify – the pay-per-result scraper (≈ $1.20 per 1 000 leads)
-
Google Sheets – to store the contacts
2. Get your Apollo search link
-
In Apollo click People.
-
Add filters: job title, location, industry, etc.
-
Confirm the total lead count shown (good for cost math).
-
Copy the long URL from your browser bar—save it.
3. Bookmark the right scraper in Apify
-
Open the Apify Store and search “Apollo Scraper”.
-
Choose the one with the small fire-emoji icon and “pay per result”.
-
Hit Bookmark so it’s easy to find inside Make later.
4. Build a five-step scenario in Make
-
Basic Trigger – create two text fields:
Apollo link
andSheet name
. -
Create Spreadsheet – have Make spin up a new Google Sheet using the name you supplied (this step is optional)
-
Run Actor (Apify)
-
Select your bookmarked scraper.
-
Switch Run synchronously to Yes (the flow waits until scraping finishes).
-
Paste the JSON below in Input JSON and map
{{Apollo link}}
from step 1.
