Capture and nurture AI agency leads with Google Gemini, Outlook and Sheets

Description

AI Agent Lead Funnel for AI Agencies
An End-to-End Automation That Turns Demos Into Booked Calls

This n8n workflow is a full inbound → outbound hybrid funnel designed for AI agencies.
It captures warm leads through instant AI value, then automatically follows up with personalized, context-aware outreach and reminders until the lead either replies or books a call.

No cold scraping. No manual follow-ups. Just leverage + timing.

🚀 How the Workflow Works

📋 PART 1 — Lead Capture & Instant Value

1 — Share High-Impact AI Image Edits
You post before/after examples using the NanoBanna / Gemini image-editing model on social platforms.
Each post includes a link to a lightweight form.

The visual results do the selling for you.

2 — Lead Submits Image & Details
The form collects:
Image upload
Edit instructions
Name
Email
Company name

This filters for high-intent prospects only.

3 — AI Edits the Image Instantly
Once submitted, the workflow:
Sends the image + instructions to the AI image editor
Preserves lighting and camera angle unless specified
Generates a polished result in seconds

4 — Result Delivered via Email
The edited image is emailed directly to the user with:
A friendly confirmation message
Soft positioning for future work

This establishes trust before any sales motion happens.

5 — Lead Is Logged Automatically
All lead data is saved to Google Sheets:
Name
Company
Email
Timestamp

This becomes your live CRM of warm inbound leads.

🤖 PART 2 — AI-Driven Personalized Outreach

6 — AI Analyzes the Lead
An AI sales agent:
Looks at the company name + context
Reviews a library of proven automation ideas
Either selects the best fit or creates a simple custom one

7 — AI Writes a Personalized Outreach Email
The agent generates a short email that:
Mentions a specific automation already built
States you can help implement it quickly
Invites them to book a call via your calendar

No marketing fluff. No generic pitches.
Every email feels hand-written.

8 — Outreach Email Is Sent Automatically
The email is sent from your inbox (Outlook, Gmail, SMTP, etc.) and includes:
Their name
Their company
A clear calendar booking link

📬 PART 3 — Smart Follow-Up System

9 — Wait 48 Hours
The workflow pauses to give the lead time to respond naturally.

10 — Check for a Reply
After 48 hours:
If the lead replied → they are tagged as Interested
If no reply → continue to follow-up

(Current reply detection is placeholder logic and can be swapped for a live inbox listener.)

11 — AI Writes a Polite Follow-Up
If there’s no response, an AI agent writes:
A short, non-pushy follow-up
Referencing the original automation idea
Under 60 words

12 — Follow-Up Email Is Sent
The follow-up goes out automatically and keeps the conversation alive without manual effort.
