Who is this for?

This template is ideal for B2B founders, solopreneurs, growth marketers, SDRs, or anyone looking to scale their lead generation and enrichment with no-code tools to low-code tools.

Whether you're building your first lead pipeline or upgrading a manual spreadsheet, LeadAIgen automates the entire discovery → enrichment → logging process using AI and verified email data.

What problem does this solve?

Lead sourcing and enrichment are time-consuming, inconsistent, and often require multiple tools or manual scraping.

This workflow solves that by chaining AI + contact discovery, validating everything, and storing clean, structured data in Google Sheets — ready for outreach or CRM sync.

What this workflow does:

✅ Accepts an industry/topic prompt via chat trigger or Telegram,
🤖 Uses OpenRouter (Perplexity) to find 15 relevant companies with domains,
📤 Parses the results, filters duplicates based on your Google Sheet,
📩 Enriches each domain with up to 3 real personal emails using Hunter.io ,
💡 If no emails found → Fallback AI tries to locate general email info,
📊 Updates your Google Sheet with all valid enriched leads (status: “Enriched”),
🔁 Runs in safe batches of 10 to protect your API limits,
🛠️ Includes logic to clean data, validate JSON, and slice leads.

Setup:

• Create Google Sheets, Hunter.io , and OpenRouter credentials in your n8n instance
• Import the JSON workflow
• Set your OpenRouter model (default = Perplexity Sonar Large)
• Connect your Google Sheet (must contain a header row with Domain , Status , etc.)
• Paste your Hunter API key into the Hunter.io node
• (Optional) Add Telegram Bot trigger to chat with your lead generator

🗒 Color-coded workflow notes:
