Overview

This workflow receives a lead from your website or a form tool through a webhook. A Code node adds points for company size, job role and budget, then sets a tier: hot, warm or cold. The points are plain rules you can change in one place.

A Switch node sends hot leads to a fast-response Slack channel, warm leads to the normal sales channel and cold leads to a Google Sheet for nurturing. Nothing is sent until you connect your own Slack and Google accounts.

Useful for

  • Give hot inbound leads an immediate Slack alert so sales can reply the same day
  • Keep low-fit leads in a sheet for later nurturing instead of cluttering the sales channel
  • Test different scoring rules by editing one Code node

What's included

  • An n8n workflow with 6 nodes, ready to import
  • Trigger: Lead webhook
  • Connects Slack, Sheets
  • Sticky notes on the canvas that explain what to set up
  • No credentials inside: you connect your own accounts
