How to use it

Plan an n8n AI lead qualification workflow with trigger, scoring fields, CRM handoff, human review, and test cases.

Workflow use case

A new lead arrives from a form, chat widget, or inbox. The workflow extracts company, need, budget signal, urgency, and routing notes, then decides whether to create a CRM task, send a human review, or ask for missing fields.

Node stack

Use this stack as a planning sequence before importing or rebuilding the workflow in n8n.

  • Webhook or form trigger
  • Normalize fields
  • AI extraction and scoring
  • CRM lookup
  • IF routing
  • Human review branch
  • CRM task or email handoff

Setup steps

The paid pack turns these steps into a repeatable implementation checklist with test data and handoff notes.

  • Define required lead fields
  • Write the scoring rubric
  • Create safe fallback labels
  • Test with five low-quality and five high-quality leads

Input and output contract

Input should include source, name or company, message text, contact channel, and consent status. Output should include score, reason, missing fields, recommended owner, and next action.

Failure modes to test

Do not ship the automation until these checks are handled in the workflow or in a human fallback.

  • AI invents budget or urgency
  • Duplicate CRM contact is created
  • Low-quality lead bypasses review
  • Missing consent is ignored

Important columns

trigger

The event that starts the workflow, such as a webhook, inbox message, form submission, or schedule.

input_contract

The required fields and redaction rules before any AI step runs.

ai_step

The classification, extraction, drafting, or routing task the model performs.

handoff_rule

The condition that sends the case to a human, CRM, ticket, spreadsheet, or follow-up queue.

test_case

A current-vs-expected example that proves the workflow is safe enough to run.

Not sure one order or campaign is still profitable?

Request a $10 profit audit for one SKU, order, or campaign. Send example numbers and get notes on which cost layer needs another look.

Case-to-asset loop

Every real question, paid audit, or delivery should become a FAQ, test case, template row, or anonymized case snippet before a new page is added.

Incoming signal

Template download, audit click, payment, inquiry, or Search Console impression.

Next asset

Add a FAQ, test row, preview CSV row, or anonymized case snippet to the same SKU.

Expansion rule

Create a new page only after the SKU has a real signal, not because the backlog is long.

FAQ

Can this update my CRM automatically?

Yes, but start with task creation or draft updates until duplicate matching and consent checks are proven.

What is the safest first automation?

Generate a qualified-lead summary and suggested owner, then require a human review before writing to the CRM.
