Workflow name
Streamline lead intake and AI routing using Typeform, OpenAI & Gmail

How it works

This workflow captures new form submissions, cleans the data, and stores it securely before applying AI-based lead qualification. It analyzes each message to assign category, score, and priority. Based on this classification, leads are routed to the appropriate response path. The system ensures every lead is saved first, then enriched and responded to automatically.

Step-by-step

  • Capture and clean lead data

  • Typeform Trigger – Listens for new submissions in real time.

  • Sanitize Lead Data – Cleans names, formats emails, and extracts domain.

  • Store lead in database

  • Create a record – Saves lead details in Airtable with status “New”.

  • Analyze and enrich with AI

  • AI Lead Analyzer – Uses OpenAI to classify, score, and prioritize leads.

  • Merge – Combines original lead data with AI-generated insights.

  • Route and respond automatically

  • Route by Category – Directs leads based on AI classification.

  • Send a message – Sends tailored email for sales inquiries.

  • Send a message1 – Sends confirmation email for support requests.

  • Send a message2 – Sends response for partnership inquiries.

  • Send a message3 – Sends fallback response for other categories.

  • Send a message4 – Sends Discord alert for high-priority leads.

Why use this?

  • Ensures no lead is lost by storing data before processing
  • Automatically prioritizes high-value opportunities using AI
  • Reduces manual lead qualification and response time
  • Provides personalized responses based on intent
  • Enables real-time team alerts for important leads

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/14363/14363.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.
