If you need a practical and scalable way to generate leads from Twitter/X, this workflow gives you a clean production baseline in n8n.
It combines follower collection and optional email enrichment in one structured flow, so your team can run campaigns without rebuilding logic every time.

This template is built for execution, not experimentation. It is designed to help agencies, founders, growth teams, and sales ops run repeatable social lead generation with predictable inputs and clean outputs.

Most Twitter/X scraping automations fail in operations, not in scraping itself.
Typical pain points include inconsistent input formats, unstable branching, overuse of enrichment, and messy outputs that require manual cleanup before outreach.

This workflow addresses those issues by default:

The result is faster setup, clearer control over costs, and easier handoff into CRM or sales workflows.

The flow starts with a webhook and accepts a profile URL (or username).
If required fields are missing, the workflow asks for them in sequence, creating a conversational run experience instead of a brittle one-shot payload.

The workflow parses x.com/... or twitter.com/... links and extracts a clean username for actor input.
This removes a common source of actor errors and makes user input more forgiving.

The first Apify actor runs and collects followers, following, or both, based on run parameters.
Collection size can be exact (number) or broad (all) depending on campaign needs.

The second Apify actor runs only when includeEmails=true.
If includeEmails=false, the flow skips enrichment entirely and returns faster with lower run cost.

The final output includes:

This makes the data immediately usable for outreach operations.

This actor handles audience graph collection and is used as the primary source for lead usernames.

This actor is used only when enrichment is explicitly requested and adds contactability depth to selected leads.

Use the following fields when triggering the workflow:

{
"targetLink": "https://x.com/elonmusk",
"collectType": "followers",
"limitMode": "number",
"limit": 1000,
"includeEmails": true,
"outputTarget": "json"
}

The workflow returns a clear summary for immediate decision-making:

It also returns a full record array and CSV-ready content, so the same run output can feed analytics and outreach systems without reformatting.

Collect followers from relevant accounts and build initial lead pools for outbound campaigns.

Collect following relationships to understand adjacency and overlap in niche markets.

Run email enrichment only for shortlisted segments to control budget and improve signal quality.

Use normalized output for direct import into Sheets, CRM tools, or custom internal systems.

This workflow is especially useful for:
