Auto CRM routing via n8n

The brief

The client needed a lead magnet that felt genuinely valuable — not a PDF download or a generic checklist, but something personalized enough to justify a prospect giving up their contact details. The goal was to capture business owner leads, deliver immediate value, and route qualified contacts into the CRM without any manual work in between.

How I built it

I built the intake form from scratch in HTML — clean, branded, and designed to capture the business information needed to generate a useful analysis. When someone submits the form, n8n picks it up and passes the data to the Claude API.

Claude processes the business inputs and generates a tailored report: a summary of where the business stands, five specific growth opportunities based on what was submitted, and a CTA to book a call. The output is rendered as a formatted HTML results page — not a generic text dump, but a designed deliverable the prospect actually receives.

At the same time, n8n routes the lead's contact details and business info directly into CRM Platform CRM, tagged and ready for follow-up. The whole process — form submission to CRM entry to report delivery — runs without anyone touching it.

This is still in early deployment with results being tracked. The build itself demonstrates what's possible when you wire AI generation directly into a lead capture flow — the prospect gets immediate, personalized value; the business gets a qualified lead in their CRM.

What was built

01 Custom HTML intake form: branded form built from scratch to capture business details — the structured input that makes the AI analysis useful and specific.

02 n8n automation workflow: form submission triggers the workflow — passing data to Claude API, generating the report, routing the lead to CRM, and delivering results, all in one flow.

03 Claude API integration: AI generates a personalized business analysis based on form inputs — tailored to the specific business, not a template response.

04 HTML results page: analysis delivered as a formatted HTML page showing the business summary, 5 growth opportunities, and a CTA to book a call.

05 CRM Platform CRM routing: lead contact info and business data pushed directly into CRM on submission — tagged, organized, and ready for follow-up without manual entry.
