Route and nurture financial services leads with OpenAI, Gmail and Google Sheets

Description

Financial services lead magnet with Lovable/Base44 and n8n

Automatically route and nurture leads for Business Funding, Life Insurance, Credit Repair, and Agent Recruitment with hyper-personalized AI-generated emails.

How it works

1. Lead Capture via Webhook
Your landing page submits lead data (name, email, phone, interest, service-specific details) to the workflow webhook.

2. Intelligent Routing by Interest
Switch node routes leads to the appropriate path based on their selected service interest.

3. AI Email Generation
OpenAI generates hyper-personalized HTML emails using the lead's specific data - calculating funding amounts, insurance premiums, credit repair timelines, or recruitment benefits.

4. Automated Email Delivery
Gmail sends the customized email with dynamic subject lines and professional templates.

5. Lead Tracking
Google Sheets logs all lead data for follow-up and analytics.

Set up steps

Time to set up: 15-20 minutes

1. Configure Credentials (5 min)
Add your OpenAI API key (all AI nodes use the same credential)
Connect Gmail OAuth2 for sending emails
Connect Google Sheets OAuth2 for lead tracking

2. Create Your Lead Tracking Sheet (2 min)
Create a Google Sheet with columns: Name, Interest, Phone, Email, Details/Additional Data
Copy the Sheet ID and update all Google Sheets nodes

3. Set Up Webhook (3 min)
Activate the workflow to generate your webhook URL
Copy the webhook URL for your landing page integration

4. Customize Your Brand (5 min)
Replace all "Your Name" placeholders with your name
Update "Your Company" and "Your Title" references
Add your actual service links (funding, insurance, credit repair, recruitment)
Adjust brand colors in HTML templates if desired

5. Test the Workflow (5 min)
Use the pinned test data in the Webhook node to validate each path
Send test emails to yourself
Verify data appears correctly in Google Sheets

Detailed setup instructions are included in the sticky notes throughout the workflow.
