High-Quality B2B Sales Lead Intelligent Filtering and Real-Time Notification Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically retrieves all sales leads from Pipedrive at scheduled intervals and enriches the associated company data using Clearbit’s firmographic services. It supplements and accurately profiles lead companies, filtering out high-value prospects that meet specific criteria (e.g., B2B industry tags, employee count over 100, estimated annual revenue exceeding $5 million). Qualified leads trigger real-time Slack notifications to the sales team, enhancing lead quality and response speed. Simultaneously, enriched leads are marked in Pipedrive to ensure data accuracy and prevent redundant processing.
