Automated B2B Lead Cleanup with n8n + Apify (NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

An n8n workflow that uses the verified Apify node. NexGenData has no verified n8n node β€” you chain public-data Apify actors inside n8n through Apify’s verified node, with your own Apify token.

The problem: lead lists arrive dirty and get worse over time

New leads land from forms, events, and exports full of duplicates, malformed emails, role addresses, and inconsistent company names. Sequencing that as-is wastes sends and hurts deliverability. An n8n workflow cleans, verifies, and enriches every new batch automatically before it reaches your CRM.

Who this is for

RevOps, growth, and outbound teams who want list hygiene to run as a background job.

The n8n workflow

  1. Trigger β€” new row/lead (Google Sheets trigger, a form/webhook) or Schedule Trigger.
  2. Apify node β†’ Run Actor (chain) β€” B2B Lead List Cleaner β†’ Email Verification β†’ Company Enrichment.
  3. Get Dataset Items β€” pull each actor’s structured output.
  4. Filter / Set β€” derive a verdict (deliverable / review / reject); drop rejects.
  5. Send to destination β€” Google Sheets, Airtable, or HTTP Request into your CRM.

FAQ

Can I chain all three actors in one workflow? Yes β€” run them in sequence with the Apify node and map each output to the next.

Is this a verified NexGenData n8n node? No β€” it’s an n8n workflow using Apify’s verified n8n node with your own Apify token.

What about catch-all domains? They return “risky/catch-all” rather than a guaranteed inbox, by design.
