Inbound leads are not equal.
Some deserve an immediate response.
Some can wait.
Some are not worth opening.
But most setups force you to read everything first.
I built a self-hosted n8n workflow that flips this:
You stop reading leads.
You just act on them.
What it does:
- Every inbound lead is qualified automatically
- Each lead is assigned a clear priority (Hot / Warm / Cold / Needs Review)
- Reduced to a short summary you can skim in seconds
- Logged into a single Google Sheet
No CRM.
No dashboards.
No SaaS.
No probabilistic behavior.
Scoring is deterministic and rule-based.
AI summaries are optional and non-blocking.
You open one spreadsheet and immediately know:
- Who to respond to
- Why they matter
- What to do next
Built for people already running n8n and already receiving inbound leads.
Not a beginner tutorial. Not a SaaS replacement.
