Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for marketing teams, sales professionals, and business owners who want to automate lead management and communication. Specifically, it benefits:
- Sales Teams looking to efficiently manage and update contact information from leads.
- Marketing Professionals aiming to streamline lead generation and follow-up processes.
- Small Business Owners who need to maintain organized contact lists and improve communication with leads.
- Customer Support Teams who want to ensure timely responses to new leads.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of managing new leads efficiently. It automates the process of collecting lead information from Typeform submissions, checks for existing contacts in Airtable, updates their information if they already exist, or creates new entries if they do not. Additionally, it sends notifications via Slack to keep the team informed about new subscriptions and updates, ensuring no lead is overlooked.

Workflow Steps

  • Typeform Trigger: The workflow begins with a manual trigger from Typeform, capturing new lead submissions.
    2. Dropcontact Integration: The lead's email is processed through Dropcontact to retrieve additional information such as first name, last name, LinkedIn profile, and more.
    3. Airtable Contact List Check: The workflow queries Airtable to check if the lead already exists in the contact list.
    4. Conditional Check: If the contact ID is empty, it indicates that the lead is new. The workflow then prepares to create a new contact in Airtable.
    5. Set Contacts to Create: The workflow sets the necessary fields for creating a new contact based on the information retrieved from Dropcontact.
    6. Airtable - Create Contacts: A new contact is created in Airtable with the provided details.
    7. Slack Notification: A notification is sent to a specified Slack channel about the new lead subscription.
    8. If Contact Exists: If the contact already exists, the workflow prepares to update their information.
    9. Set Contacts to Update: The workflow sets the fields to update for the existing contact.
    10. Airtable - Update Contacts: The existing contact's information is updated in Airtable.
    11. Slack Update Notification: A notification is sent to a specified Slack channel about the updated lead information.
