What it does

Two independent pieces of work in one run: finds backlink prospecting opportunities for your domain, and (optionally) drafts a digital-PR pitch for one specific article. Produces drafts only — no email is ever sent automatically.

​
Why you should use it

Link building is one of the more manual, time-consuming parts of SEO — this workflow does the prospecting and first-draft writing so a human only needs to review and hit send themselves (outside MAEL, for now).

​
Where to find it

Trigger it by its ID, outreach-campaign.

​
What information you must enter

​
Step-by-step

1

Trigger the workflow with the required fields

See Run Your First SEO Workflow.
2

Wait for prospecting to finish

The workflow finds link opportunities, then drafts an outreach email for each one it identifies.
3

Review every drafted email yourself

No email is ever sent automatically by this workflow — every draft needs a human to review it and send it manually, outside MAEL.

​
What happens after you click Trigger run

Two branches run: backlink-opportunity prospecting (which dynamically drafts one outreach email per opportunity found), and — only if you set article_id — a separate, independent digital-PR pitch for that article.

​
How long-running work is shown

Same live execution timeline as any workflow — the number of steps grows with how many opportunities are found, since each gets its own drafting step.

​
How to understand the output

​
What action to take based on the output

Read each drafted email, personalize it further if needed, and send it yourself through your own email — this workflow deliberately stops short of sending anything under a real person’s name without their own final review.

​
Common mistakes

  • Expecting emails to send automatically — they don’t, by design (see the warning above).
  • Missing our_target_url or sender_name — both are required; the trigger will fail without them.
