TemplateFlows has reviewed the source listing, but has not independently imported, executed or security-tested the JSON. Use the original source link for access; no JSON is redistributed here.
What the template does
This externally authored n8n workflow accepts lead submissions, asks OpenAI for structured qualification details, checks HubSpot for an existing contact, and supports lead or deal handling and internal Gmail notifications. The source listing describes fields such as lead score, urgency and recommended follow-up.
Source review only: TemplateFlows has not independently assessed the AI model’s accuracy or tested CRM writes. Use the original n8n.io workflow and review every automated decision before production use.
Requirements
Prerequisites
- n8n instance with an authorized webhook.
- OpenAI API access and an understood usage budget.
- HubSpot account with suitable contact/deal permissions.
- Gmail credential for internal notifications.
- A documented ideal-customer profile and review policy.
Required tools and services
- n8n
- Gmail
Setup steps
-
Inspect AI scoring prompts
Check which lead fields are shared with the model and whether the scoring criteria fit your business.
-
Connect external services
Set up OpenAI, HubSpot and Gmail credentials with least-privilege access.
-
Map HubSpot fields
Verify existing-contact lookup and avoid overwriting manual CRM decisions.
-
Test qualification and errors
Evaluate representative test leads, duplicates, invalid data and API failures; require human review for consequential actions.
Possible implementation problems
AI scoring can be inconsistent or biased. Treat scores as suggestions, not facts. Avoid sending sensitive data to a model without a valid basis and authorization. API usage may incur charges. Check CRM deduplication and idempotency.
