AI Agent Lead Funnel for AI Agencies

An End-to-End Automation That Turns Demos Into Booked Calls

This n8n workflow is a full inbound → outbound hybrid funnel designed for AI agencies.
It captures warm leads through instant AI value, then automatically follows up with personalized, context-aware outreach and reminders until the lead either replies or books a call.

No cold scraping. No manual follow-ups. Just leverage + timing.


🚀 How the Workflow Works


📋 PART 1 — Lead Capture & Instant Value

1 — Share High-Impact AI Image Edits

You post before/after examples using the NanoBanna / Gemini image-editing model on social platforms.
Each post includes a link to a lightweight form.

The visual results do the selling for you.


2 — Lead Submits Image & Details

The form collects:

  • Image upload
  • Edit instructions
  • Name
  • Email
  • Company name

This filters for high-intent prospects only.


3 — AI Edits the Image Instantly

Once submitted, the workflow:

  • Sends the image + instructions to the AI image editor
  • Preserves lighting and camera angle unless specified
  • Generates a polished result in seconds

4 — Result Delivered via Email

The edited image is emailed directly to the user with:

  • A friendly confirmation message
  • Soft positioning for future work

This establishes trust before any sales motion happens.


5 — Lead Is Logged Automatically

All lead data is saved to Google Sheets:

  • Name
  • Company
  • Email
  • Timestamp

This becomes your live CRM of warm inbound leads.


🤖 PART 2 — AI-Driven Personalized Outreach

6 — AI Analyzes the Lead

An AI sales agent:

  • Looks at the company name + context
  • Reviews a library of proven automation ideas
  • Either selects the best fit or creates a simple custom one

7 — AI Writes a Personalized Outreach Email

The agent generates a short email that:

  • Mentions a specific automation already built
  • States you can help implement it quickly
  • Invites them to book a call via your calendar

No marketing fluff. No generic pitches.
Every email feels hand-written.


8 — Outreach Email Is Sent Automatically

The email is sent from your inbox (Outlook, Gmail, SMTP, etc.) and includes:

  • Their name
  • Their company
  • A clear calendar booking link

📬 PART 3 — Smart Follow-Up System

9 — Wait 48 Hours

The workflow pauses to give the lead time to respond naturally.


10 — Check for a Reply

After 48 hours:

  • If the lead replied → they are tagged as Interested
  • If no reply → continue to follow-up

(Current reply detection is placeholder logic and can be swapped for a live inbox listener.)


11 — AI Writes a Polite Follow-Up

If there’s no response, an AI agent writes:

  • A short, non-pushy follow-up
  • Referencing the original automation idea
  • Under 60 words

12 — Follow-Up Email Is Sent

The follow-up goes out automatically and keeps the conversation alive without manual effort.


📈 Why This Workflow Converts So Well

Instant Value First

Leads experience AI results before being pitched anything.

Context-Aware Outreach

Every email is personalized based on the lead, not a template.

Built-In Persistence

The system follows up automatically — no leads fall through the cracks.

Fully Automated

Once live, this workflow handles:

  • Lead capture
  • AI delivery
  • Outreach
  • Follow-ups
  • CRM updates

You just keep posting content.


🔧 Setup Requirements

To deploy this workflow, connect:

  • Google Gemini API (image editing + agents)
  • Email provider
    • Outlook
    • Gmail
    • SMTP
  • Google Sheets
    • Columns: Name, Company, Email, Time, Status
  • Calendar booking link
    • Example: https://cal.com/your-link

All credentials are modular and easily swappable.


🎯 Summary

This n8n automation turns attention into action by:

  1. Delivering immediate AI value
  2. Following up with relevant, personalized ideas
  3. Nudging leads toward a booked call — automatically

It’s not just a lead funnel.
It’s an AI sales assistant that runs 24/7.
