Score and enrich inbound leads
This play acts as an automated gatekeeper for your inbound funnel. When a new lead submits a form, a webhook triggers an instant enrichment process via Lusha. The system doesn’t just pull data; it calculates a real-time lead score based on your specific ideal customer profile (ICP)—evaluating seniority, company size, and industry.
Instead of waiting for a manual review, leads are instantly categorized into three tiers: Hot, Warm, or Cold. This ensures that your highest-value prospects are surfaced to sales in seconds, while lower-fit leads are funneled into automated nurture tracks, keeping your CRM clean and your reps focused.
Why this works
Inbound interest has a short shelf life. If a “Hot” lead waits three hours for a response, they’ve likely already booked a demo with a competitor.
This play operationalizes responsiveness by:
- Immediate validation: Ensuring only valid emails enter your workflow.
- Granular scoring: Moving beyond form fields to real, verified Lusha data.
- Tiered routing: Automating the decision-making process for lead priority.
- Closed-loop feedback: Returning the score and tier to your calling system (like a CMS or landing page) instantly.
What you get
- Instant webhook-triggered lead processing
- Real-time enrichment (Title, Seniority, Company Size, Direct Dials)
- Automated ICP scoring logic
- Three-tier automated routing (Hot, Warm, Cold)
- Instant Slack alerts for high-priority opportunities
How to set it up
Install the Lusha community node
Ensure your n8n instance is ready to communicate with Lusha for instant, single-contact enrichment.
Connect your apps
Link your active accounts in n8n for:
- Lusha: For real-time contact and company enrichment
- HubSpot: To upsert lead data and create records
- Slack: To route alerts to the correct #hot-leads or #warm-leads channels
Customize your scoring weights
Adjust the Code node to reflect your ICP.
- Example: Give +30 points for “VP” seniority, +20 points for “SaaS” industry, and +10 points if they are in a target region.
Define your tier thresholds
Set the logic for the three-tier routing:
- Hot (60+ pts): High-priority Slack alert + CRM sync.
- Warm (35-59 pts): General Slack notification + CRM sync.
- Cold (<35 pts): Automatic send to HubSpot nurture list.
Connect your form to the webhook
Point your website form or lead-gen tool to the n8n webhook URL. This kicks off the play the millisecond a user clicks “Submit.”
Activate and test
Run a test submission. Verify that the webhook returns the correct score and that the Slack message contains the enriched Lusha data (like a direct dial) for the rep.
What to do next
- Dynamic thank you pages: Use the webhook response to show “Hot” leads a calendar link immediately, while showing “Cold” leads a whitepaper download.
- Round-robin routing: Connect the “Hot” lead output to a HubSpot rotation to assign leads to AEs instantly.
- A/B test scoring: Regularly review “Cold” leads that converted to sales to see if your scoring weights need adjustment.
The goal: Bridge the gap between marketing and sales. This play ensures that Lusha intelligence is applied at the very first touchpoint, turning a simple email address into a fully qualified, prioritized sales opportunity.
