About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline your sales follow-up process by intelligently managing leads via Twilio and Airtable. It begins by listening for inbound messages through Twilio, acting as your always-on sales assistant. When a new message arrives, it seamlessly integrates with OpenAI's chat model to generate contextually relevant and personalized follow-up messages. The workflow then consults your Airtable 'Lead Tracker' to identify leads that meet specific criteria for follow-up, ensuring no potential customer falls through the cracks. It prioritizes leads that haven't scheduled an appointment, haven't requested to stop communications, and have had fewer than three follow-ups, with at least three days since the last interaction. Finally, it sends the AI-generated follow-up message via Twilio and updates the lead's record in Airtable with the new follow-up count and timestamp, maintaining a clean and actionable CRM.
