🎣 Score and route inbound leads with Claude, HubSpot, Slack, and Gmail
⚡ 36 views · 🎣 Lead Generation & Enrichment
Description
Quick overview
Turn every website form submission into a scored, routed lead. Claude scores fit and intent against your ideal-customer profile, HubSpot gets the contact, Slack gets a five-second brief on hot leads, and the prospect gets an acknowledgement at any hour. The model never picks the route.
How it works
- Receives a new lead submission via a POST webhook.
- Normalizes the incoming fields (name, email, company, website, message, source) and checks that an email and message are present, otherwise posting a “needs a look” alert to Slack.
- Fetches the company website over HTTP and extracts a short, cleaned text sample from the HTML.
- Sends the lead details and website text to the Anthropic Messages API (Claude) and requests a structured JSON response with a 0–100 score, reasons, concerns, a summary, and a recommended next step.
- Parses Claude’s response, assigns the lead to hot/warm/cold (or “review” if parsing/refusal fails) using the configured thresholds, and timestamps the result.
- Routes by tier: hot leads trigger a detailed Slack alert, warm and hot leads receive a Gmail acknowledgement email, and all scored leads are upserted as contacts in HubSpot.
Setup
- Configure the webhook URL in your lead form tool to POST JSON fields like name, email, company, website, message, and (optionally) source.
- Add an Anthropic API key as an HTTP Header Auth credential (x-api-key) and attach it to the Claude HTTP request.
- Connect your Slack credentials and set the target channel name in the workflow settings.
- Connect your HubSpot app token credentials for contact upserts.
- Connect your Gmail credentials for sending acknowledgement emails and update the company name, ICP text, thresholds, and reply-within promise in the Settings values.
Requirements
- An Anthropic API key stored as a Header Auth credential named x-api-key, plus Slack, HubSpot (private app token) and Gmail credentials. Core nodes only, so it runs on n8n Cloud or self-hosted.
Customization
- Swap HubSpot for Pipedrive, Salesforce or a Google Sheet (fields needed: name, email, company, websiteUrl, score, tier, summary). Change the thresholds and the ideal-customer paragraph in the Settings node. The scoring call is a plain HTTP Request, so another model provider drops in; keep JSON output or the tier code sends everything to review. Nothing AI-written reaches the prospect; add a review step before the send if you want personalised replies.
