Title

Workflow name
Reach out via email to new form submissions that meet a certain criteria

Use case

When collecting new leads via a form, you need to follow up on new submissions. Often, this required a lot of manual work that includes reviewing each submission, checking if they meet your criteria and then outreaching. With this workflow you can do all of that fully automatically and save a lot of your valuable time.

What this workflow does

This workflow runs every time you're receiving a new submission from an n8n form. It then filters out typical personal emails (such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc.) before enriching the submission via Clearbit. It then checks, if the company of the submitter is a B2B company and has more than 499 employees. If it does, it sends an email via Gmail to the user.

Setup

  1. Add the Clearbit and Gmail credentials
  2. Click on Test Workflow
  3. Enter your own email (which needs to be a business email to work) in the Form
  4. Check your email
  5. Once you're happy don't forget to activate this workflow

How to adjust this template

  • Replace the form trigger with your form provider of choice (e.g. Typeform, SurveyMonkey, Google Forms etc.)
  • Adjust the criteria to your needs via the If node
  • Adjust the email you're sending in the Gmail node

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2106/2106.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
