Giving incoming leads a safer path into the CRM.
This n8n workflow explores how to receive a new lead, check the information and respond clearly when a CRM request fails.
The challenge
What needed to work better?
Lead data sometimes arrives incomplete or in the wrong format. If the CRM connection fails quietly, a potential customer can be missed.
The work
What I worked on.
- Created a webhook entry point for new leads.
- Added steps to normalise and validate the submitted information.
- Routed valid submissions toward a CRM API.
- Provided separate paths for successful responses and exceptions.

The outcome
What came out of the work?
A structured lead-intake workflow with validation and explicit success or failure routes. Business impact such as hours saved or fewer missed leads would require live operational measurement.
Why it matters
The bigger picture.
The same idea can support faster, more reliable lead handling and give teams better visibility into what went wrong.
