This n8n workflow automatically captures LinkedIn leads from multiple sources (new connections, post engagements), enriches the data with AI-powered scoring, eliminates duplicates, syncs to Google Sheets and your CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce), and sends instant notifications to your sales team for high-quality leads. No more manual copy-pasting or lost opportunities—every LinkedIn interaction becomes a tracked, qualified lead ready for follow-up.
