Qualify and enrich inbound leads with contextual insights and Slack alerts

Who is this for?

Sales teams, account executives, and RevOps professionals who need more than just basic lead scoring. Built for teams that want deep contextual insights about qualified prospects to enable truly relevant conversations from the first touchpoint.

What problem does this solve?

Most qualification stops at “good fit” or “bad fit” - but that leaves sales teams flying blind when it comes to actually engaging the prospect. You know they’re qualified, but what are their specific pain points? What value propositions resonate? Which reference customers should you mention? This workflow uses Octave’s context engine to not only qualify leads but enrich them with actionable insights that turn cold outreach into warm, contextualized conversations.

What this workflow does

Inbound Lead Processing:

• Receives lead information via webhook (firstName, companyName, companyDomain, profileURL, jobTitle)
• Processes leads from website forms, demo requests, content downloads, or trial signups
• Validates and structures lead data for intelligent qualification and enrichment

Contextualized Lead Qualification:

• Leverages Octave’s context engine to score leads against your specific ICP
• Analyzes company fit, role relevance, and timing indicators
• Generates qualification scores (1-10) with detailed rationale
• Filters out low-scoring leads (configurable threshold - default >5)

Deep Lead Enrichment:

• Uses Octave’s enrichment engine to generate contextual insights about qualified leads
