Auto-Capture Website Leads into Your CRM
MarketingSalesStarterBeginner
What It Does
Every time someone fills out a contact form on your website, this automation instantly creates a new lead in your CRM, sends you a Slack notification, and fires off a personalised welcome email — all within seconds.
How It Works
- Trigger: A visitor submits your website contact form
- Step 1: n8n receives the webhook and cleans up the data (trims whitespace, normalises phone numbers)
- Step 2: A new contact record is created in your CRM (Airtable / Notion / HubSpot)
- Step 3: A Slack message is posted to your #new-leads channel with the lead's name, email, and message
- Step 4: A personalised welcome email is sent to the lead using a pre-built template
Why It Matters
Without automation, leads sit in a form inbox for hours. Studies show that responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to qualify a lead. This workflow ensures zero delay.
Who Is This For?
- Freelancers and agencies receiving enquiries through their website
- Small businesses that don't have a dedicated sales team
- Anyone who has ever forgotten to reply to a lead
