LeadBot Autopilot — Chat-to-Lead for Salesforce
VerifiedAI agent uses OpenAI to run guided chat conversations with memory.
What this workflow does
The automation deploys an AI Agent with OpenAI Chat Model, Simple Memory, and Think Tool to maintain stateful conversations and produce reasoned replies.
It is intended for teams building AI-driven chat experiences that require persistent context and structured decision-making within n8n.
Who is this for?
Sales and marketing teams using n8n who want to automate lead capture from website chats directly into Salesforce.
What problem it solves
Manually collecting visitor details from chats and entering them into Salesforce is slow and error-prone. This workflow automates qualification, validation, de-duplication, and handoff.

What it automates
Website demo requests
A visitor asks about a product demo; the bot collects name, email, and interest then creates a Salesforce lead with ProductInterest__c set.
Event follow-up
After a webinar, prospects chat on the site; the workflow validates contact info and updates or creates leads while alerting the sales Slack channel.
Pricing inquiries
A lead types pricing questions; the agent gathers details step-by-step, checks for duplicates, writes to Salesforce, and sends a confirmation email.
