✉️  Karr Reach  /  New business outreach

Let's get Karr Reach working for you.

You meet someone worth knowing and mean to email them. Reach writes it while the reason is still fresh, and keeps a list so nobody hears from you twice.

This takes about ten minutes. You'll create a free login, connect your Gmail, and answer a couple of quick questions. Nothing to install.

Step 1 of 6

Create your free n8n login

This is the engine that runs Karr Reach in the background. You only do this once, ever.

  1. Open the link below. It opens in a new tab, this page will still be here.
  2. Click Sign up in the corner, and use the email you check most often.
  3. Set a password and confirm your email if it asks.
Open n8n and sign up →
Step 2 of 6

Get your free writing key

This is what lets Karr Reach actually write things, in your voice, for free. Google gives this out at no cost.

  1. Open the link below and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Click Create API key. It's a big button, hard to miss.
  3. Copy the code it gives you. It looks like a long jumble of letters, that's normal.
Open Google AI Studio →

This stays on your own device. We'll remind you exactly where it goes inside n8n in a moment.

Step 3 of 6

Connect your accounts

Inside n8n, click Credentials in the left menu, then Add Credential, for each of these.

  1. Gmail. So it sends, or drafts, from your real address.
  2. Google Sheets. Your list of who you've already reached out to.
Open n8n credentials →
Step 4 of 6

A couple of quick questions

Nothing technical, just so Karr Reach fits how you actually work.

Just to get you thinking before you fill in the real form.

This is the kind of detail that makes an intro email land.

Step 5 of 6

Bring in the workflow

The file 01-karr-reach.json was sent to you separately. Download it from wherever you received it.

  1. In n8n, click the three dots in the top right, then Import from File.
  2. Pick 01-karr-reach.json from your downloads.
  3. Open each node with a dashed box or a placeholder, and fill in your writing key and your accounts from steps 2 and 3.

Make a Google Sheet for your prospect list. Row one needs these column names, exactly, all lowercase:

nameemailcompanystatuscontacted_athook_used

The file linked above opens as a form at a web address once it is imported and turned on, so you can send that link to anyone.

Step 6 of 6

Try it before you trust it

A few real checks, so you know it works before it touches a real client or a real invoice.

When it looks right, save the workflow and turn on the Active toggle at the top. That's the last step.

Karr Reach is live.

That's the whole setup. It runs from here on its own.
