In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, managing incoming leads efficiently is crucial for maintaining seamless customer interactions and internal workflows. At our company, we recently automated our Lead Automation System using n8n, ensuring that every lead related to our Services and Solutions is promptly analyzed and assigned to the right department. Below, we’ll walk through the process, its components, and how it enhances productivity.
Overview of the Lead Automation System
Our Lead Automation System is designed to streamline lead handling from the moment an email is received until it is assigned to the appropriate department. Here’s how it works:
- Email Intake via Zoho Mail
- All incoming emails to our company’s official email addresses are monitored.
- AI-Based Lead Classification
- An AI Classifier analyzes the email content.
- It determines whether the email contains a relevant lead or should be ignored.
- Categorization of Leads
- If it’s a valid lead, the system classifies it into predefined categories:
- Hardware-related leads
- Software solutions
- Licensing and procurement
- Or More depending on Client’s Industry and Solutions
- Attachments and relevant details are extracted from the email.
- If it’s a valid lead, the system classifies it into predefined categories:
- Automatic CRM Entry & Assignment
- The categorized lead is directly logged into our CRM system.
- It is assigned to the respective department based on the classification.
- The assigned person receives a notification about the lead.
- Team Communication via Slack and WhatsApp
- The lead, along with all email attachments, is forwarded to the relevant team’s Slack channel.
- Alternatively, WhatsApp can be used for direct notifications if needed.
- Filtering Non-Leads
- If the email is determined to be irrelevant (such as spam or unrelated messages), it is ignored.
