Description

Who is this for

Agencies, sales teams, and service businesses who want to instantly qualify inbound leads with an AI-powered phone call — no manual follow-up needed.

What it does

This workflow captures leads via a web form, validates their phone number, and immediately triggers an AI voice call through Vapi. The AI assistant qualifies the lead through a natural conversation, extracting structured data about service interest, motivation, urgency, budget, and intent. Everything gets logged to Google Sheets.

1. Captures lead info via a web form (name, phone, email, company, role, request, company size)
2. Validates the phone number format (US 10-digit) and logs invalid numbers separately
3. Calls the lead instantly via Vapi AI voice assistant
4. Polls until the call completes, handling voicemails and completed calls differently
5. Logs results to Google Sheets with AI-extracted qualification insights

How to set up

1. Create a Vapi account and configure a voice assistant with structured outputs for: Service Interest, Motivation, Urgency, Past Experience, Budget, Intent
2. Create a Google Sheet with these headers: Date · Name · Phone · Email · Company · Role · Request · Company Size · Service Interest · Motivation · Urgency · Past Experience · Budget · Intent? · Status
3. Replace YOUR_VAPI_ASSISTANT_ID and YOUR_VAPI_PHONE_NUMBER_ID in the Call Lead node’s JSON body
4. Replace the YOUR_*_UUID placeholders in the Log Complete node with your Vapi structured output UUIDs
5. Paste your Google Sheet URL into all three Google Sheets nodes
6. Connect Bearer Auth (Vapi API key) and Google Sheets credentials
7. Activate the workflow and share the form URL
