Overview

A production automation that turns inbound leads into booked consultations without a human touching them — while keeping every system of record in perfect sync.

The Challenge

The client's inbound leads went cold within hours. SDRs juggled Airtable, Google Sheets, Gmail, and the CRM manually — losing 40%+ of qualified leads to slow response and inconsistent follow-up.

Our Solution

We engineered an event-driven n8n workflow with an AI decision engine that ingests leads, classifies intent, personalizes outreach, updates every system of record, and books consultations — all in seconds.

Key Features
  • Realtime webhook lead ingestion
  • AI intent detection and qualification
  • Personalized email + SMS response generation
  • Bidirectional CRM sync (Airtable + Sheets)
  • Automated consultation booking
  • Retry queues, DLQs, and observability
  • Human-in-the-loop escalation for edge cases
