Workflow Overview

​
Node 1: Webhook Trigger

Purpose: Listens for real-time product launch events pushed from Explorium’s webhook system. How it works:
  • Explorium sends HTTP POST requests containing event data
  • The webhook payload includes company name, business ID, domain, product name, and event type
  • Pay attention: Product launch is just one example. You can easily enroll to many more meaningful events. to learn about events and how to enroll to events, visit the events documentation.

​
Node 2: Company Research Agent

Agent Type: Tools Agent Purpose: Enrich company data after an event occurs. How it works:
  • Uses Explorium MCP via the MCP Client tool to gather additional company data
  • Uses Anthropic Claude (Chat Model) to process and interpret company information for downstream personalization

​
Node 3: Employee Data Retrieval

Purpose: Retrieve prospect-level data for targeting. How it works:
  • Uses HTTP Request node to call Explorium’s fetch_prospects endpoint
  • Filters prospects by:
    • Company business_id
    • Departments: Product, R&D, etc…
    • Seniority levels: owner, cxo, vp, director, senior, manager, partner, etc…
    • Pay Attention: Follow our fetch prospect documentation for the full list of filter and best practice.
  • Limits results to top 5 relevant employees
  • Code nodes handle:
    • Filtering logic
    • Cleaning API response
    • Formatting data for downstream agents

​
Node 4: Conditional Branch - Prospect Data Check

If Node: Checks whether prospect data was successfully retrieved Logic:
  • If prospects found personalized emails per person
  • If no prospects fallback to company-level general email

​
Node 5A: Email Writer #1 (No Prospect Data)

Agent Type: Tools Agent Purpose: Write generic outbound email using only company-level research and event info. Powered by: Anthropic Chat Model

​
Node 5B: Loop Over Prospects Email Writer #2 (Personalized)

Agent Type: Tools Agent Purpose: Write highly personalized email for each identified employee. How it works:
  • Loops through each individual prospect
  • Passes company research + employee data to LLM agent
  • Generates customized emails referencing:
    • Prospect’s title & department
    • Product launch
    • Role-relevant Explorium value proposition

​
Node 6: Slack Notifications

Purpose: Posts completed emails to internal Slack channel for review or testing before final deployment. Future State: Can be swapped with an email sequencing platform in production.

​
