This Workato recipe finds new prospects in Lusha on a schedule, enriches them with verified contact data, and creates leads in Salesforce. Instead of building lists by hand or running one-off imports, your team gets a steady flow of fresh, ready-to-work leads.
Automated Lusha prospecting pipeline for Salesforce
Why automate prospecting into Salesforce?
Manual prospecting doesn’t scale. Lists go out of date, reps spend time searching instead of selling, and lead quality depends on who built the list.
This recipe runs prospecting in Lusha and sends the results straight to Salesforce. Leads arrive enriched, in a consistent format, and ready for routing or outreach, with no exports or uploads.
What this workflow does
- Runs on a schedule, every 5 days by default, or daily or weekly
- Searches Lusha for contacts that match your filters, like title, seniority, industry, company size, and location
- Enriches each contact with work email, phone, title, seniority, company details, and LinkedIn URL
- Creates new leads in Salesforce with the enriched fields mapped in
- Tags each lead with a lead source, so you can track results
How to set it up
01
Configure the schedule
Adjust the cadence based on your needs:
- Every 5 days (default)
- Daily for aggressive outbound
- Weekly for controlled volume
Tip: Start slower, validate lead quality, then increase frequency.
02
Define your prospecting criteria
Add the Lusha step and connect your account with API access for prospecting and enrichment. Configure Lusha Prospecting filters such as:
- Job titles or functions
- Seniority level
- Industry
- Company size
- Geography
This ensures only ICP-fit prospects enter Salesforce.
03
Enrich contacts with Lusha
The enrichment step fills in:
- Work email
- Direct or mobile phone (where available)
- LinkedIn URL
- Company details
Best practice: Limit enrichment volume per run to control credit usage.
04
Create Salesforce leads
Add the Salesforce step and connect an account with permission to create leads. Map enriched fields to Salesforce lead properties:
- Name
- Company
- Title
- Phone
- LinkedIn URL
- Lead source (e.g., “Lusha Prospecting – Automated”)
Tip: Use a dedicated lead source value to track performance.
05
Test end-to-end
Run the recipe manually and confirm:
- Prospects are found
- Enrichment completes successfully
- Salesforce leads are created correctly
What to do next
- Add deduplication rules: Skip contacts already in Salesforce to avoid duplicates.
- Route leads automatically: Assign owners based on territory, segment, or industry.
- Trigger outbound sequences: Enroll new leads into sales engagement tools once created.
- Monitor lead quality: Review early runs and refine prospecting filters.
- Scale thoughtfully: Increase frequency or criteria breadth once results are validated.
The goal: Prospecting shouldn’t be manual or inconsistent. This workflow turns Lusha into a continuous lead engine for Salesforce that delivers fresh, enriched prospects on a predictable schedule.
