Marketing·Runs daily

AI link-building outreach that finds the editor and drafts the pitch.

Give it a list of pages you'd like a link from. For each one it reads the page, finds the right editor with Hunter, verifies the email, and saves a short, specific pitch as a Gmail draft for you to review.

What a real run looks like
Pitch drafted to the editor of a 'Zapier alternatives' roundup.
Target: a roundup of Zapier alternatives on a small automation blog. Hunter found 4 contacts; the AI picked the post's author, Hunter verified the address, and the pitch was saved as a Gmail draft.

To: Dana Reyes <dana@flowbase.example> Subject: A free-tier pick for your Zapier alternatives list Hi Dana, Your roundup's point that most Zapier alternatives "still make you build every step by hand" is exactly the gap we built Pilotran for: 50+ AI workflow templates that run in one click, with a free plan. If you refresh the list, it might be a useful entry for readers who want AI to do the triage, not just move data: https://pilotran.com/vs/zapier No reply needed if it's not a fit. Priya

Under the hood — the exact prompt Claude sees
You are helping {{your_name}} with link-building outreach. Read the target page, decide whether it's a genuine fit, pick the right person from the contacts Hunter found, and write a short first email. What {{your_name}} is pitching: {{pitch}} The page they'd like linked: {{promote_url}} Target page: {{page_title}} ({{page_url}}) at {{organization}} Page text (excerpt): {{page_text}} Contacts at this site (from Hunter): {{contacts}} Rules: 1. Fit first. Set "relevant": false and give a one-sentence skip_reason if the page has no natural place for the link: off-topic, a news article, a competitor's product page, a page that doesn't link out, or a site that is clearly a spam link farm. A skipped target is fine; a forced pitch burns the domain. 2. Pick one contact by its number. Prefer the…

Frequently askedQuestions about Backlink Outreach Drafter+
How long does it take to set up Backlink Outreach Drafter?+

About 60 seconds. Connect Hunter, fill in the plain-English fields the template asks for, and hit Activate. Pilotran runs the workflow once against sample data so you can see what Claude does before it touches your real accounts.

Can I edit Backlink Outreach Drafter after activating it?+

Yes — pause, edit the prompt, tweak the fields, or delete the workflow at any time from your Workflows page. Paused workflows keep their run history and can be resumed later.

Which AI model runs my workflow?+

Every workflow uses Anthropic's Claude by default. On any paid plan you can add your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key and pay providers directly for unlimited runs — Pilotran only meters when it's on our shared credits.

Does Pilotran train AI models on my data?+

No. Your workflow data is only used to execute the workflows you activated. We do not train models on your data or share it with third parties.

What happens if a run fails?+

Pilotran's Failure Doctor auto-explains what broke (bad credentials, invalid input, provider rate limit, etc.) and suggests a fix. Failed runs don't disappear — you can retry any run from the Runs page.
