AI Lead Qualification & Response — n8n Automation

Built a real, working lead-qualification automation in n8n for Hyperlink AI Studios. A webhook captures a new lead from a contact form or missed call; an AI step reads the message and scores urgency, service type, and sentiment; the workflow then branches — urgent leads get an instant SMS text-back, an owner alert, and a CRM log, while standard leads get logged, held briefly, then sent an automated reply so nobody’s left hanging. If the AI step fails, a dedicated error branch notifies the team and still routes the lead to follow-up instead of losing it. Built and tested in a live n8n instance — workflow file included, not just a screenshot.
