The Contact Form Outreach System

Two free, open-source tools that implement the framework from Code to Client— the Autofiller that handles the tedious part, and the Tracker that measures every stage of your pipeline. Local-first. No subscription. No signup. No upsell.

How They Work Together

Find URLs

Manual research

Autofiller

Pre-fill & review

Submit

You click Send

Tracker

Measure pipeline

Both tools share a single SQLite database (contacts.db). Contacts submitted by the autofiller appear instantly in the tracker—no sync needed.

Tool 1

Contact Form Autofiller

A Python + Playwright script that navigates to contact form URLs, pre-fills your name, email, company, and outreach message, then pauses and waits for you to review and click Submit yourself. You stay in control of every submission.

Reads a JSON list of contact form URLs—one per outreach batch

Detects the contact form on the page and fills name, email, company, message

Pauses after filling so you can review, edit, and submit manually

Saves submitted contacts to the shared contacts.db SQLite database

Skips URLs already in the database—no duplicate submissions

Optional LLM integration (Together.ai, OpenAI, Ollama) for complex form detection

Heuristic CSS selector fallback always works without any LLM configuration
