n8n Lead Qualification & Sales Intelligence Workflow (Top of Funnel) Overview / Purpose This workflow automatically processes new free-trial / lead sign-ups in real time: - Catches a webhook from any source (Webflow form, Intercom, custom agent, etc.) - Filters out personal / disposable / .edu emails → only business emails continue - Validates the company website is live - Scrapes the website with Firecrawl to find the official LinkedIn company page - Enriches the company via AI Agent (Scrapin.io) → pulls name, follower count, headcount, HQ location, industry, and clean description - Runs a multi-factor scoring engine (Location + Headcount + Industry) - Sends a beautiful rich Slack notification to the sales team with score, rating, and quick-action buttons - Segments the lead by score tier (Very High / High / Mid / Low) - Checks if the lead already exists in Instantly - Adds qualified leads to the correct Instantly campaign with first/last name extracted from email Core Flow (Step-by-Step) 1. Webhook – Trigger (POST /new-lead) 2. Extract Email Root Domain – Pulls @company.com part 3. Blacklist Regex Domains – Blocks all personal, free, and .edu emails 4. Check Email Not Null – Safety gate 5. Check if Website Exists – HEAD request (continues only on 200-399) 6. Firecrawl Scrape – Scrapes homepage looking for LinkedIn URL in footer/links 7.
