🚀 Never miss a new lead again — get instant email alerts and stay ahead of every opportunity!

  • 🧩 Clean: The workflow filters and formats the data for clear presentation.
  • 💌 Compose: Generates a beautiful HTML email with your branding and lead details.
  • 📨 Send: Instantly emails your team or the lead using Gmail or SMTP.
  • React Fast: Your team gets notified in seconds — no manual checks needed!

⚙️ Set up steps

  • 🔗 Add a POST webhook in your CRM or app that points to your n8n webhook URL.
  • 🏢 Update your company info (logo, name, website) in the configuration node.
  • 📧 Connect Gmail OAuth2 or your SMTP credentials to send branded emails instantly.

Compatible with Odoo, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Typeform, and any system that supports outgoing webhooks.
