Built an AI Lead Qualifier That Saved 20hrs/Week (n8n + Apify)
So I was drowning in unqualified leads (classic B2B SaaS problem) and built this workflow that's been an absolute game-changer. Sharing because I wish someone had shown me this 6 months ago.
The Problem: We were spending HOURS researching every lead that filled out our form, only to find out 70% weren't even in our target industries. Total waste of time.
The Solution: A fully automated lead qualifier using n8n that does all the research and qualification in under 2 minutes.
Here's How It Works:
- Lead fills out Typeform → Basic info + LinkedIn URL
- Apify scrapes their LinkedIn profile → Gets their experience and current company
- Scrapes their company's LinkedIn page → Industry, company size, etc.
- Crawls their website → Extracts business description
- AI analyzes everything → Determines if they're in Lead Gen/Sales/Marketing SaaS
- Auto-updates Google Sheets → With qualification status + reasoning.
The Magic: I'm using Google Gemini with a super specific prompt that ONLY qualifies leads in our target industries. No more "maybe" leads - it's either YES (1) or NO (0).
Tech Stack (all free/cheap):
- n8n (self-hosted)
- Typeform
- Apify (3 different scrapers)
- Google Gemini API
- Google Sheets
- LangChain for the AI agent
Results After 1 Month:
- ⏱️ 20+ hours saved weekly
- 🎯 100% of qualified leads are actually relevant
- 📈 Sales team closing rate up 35% (they only talk to qualified leads now)
- 😴 Runs 24/7 while I sleep
