Choose from the job first, verify current terms, and compare two tools on the same real task before subscribing.
See the Tool Picker →For n8n operators
Three useful starting points, with the limits made visible.
Each workflow comes with an inactive n8n export, a setup guide, and success and failure fixtures. The pack is useful on its own; it also shows where production persistence and monitoring belong.
01
Lead intake and routing
Validate, score, and visibly route an authenticated lead.
Before production: You connect the accepted lead to a durable system of record.
02
Meeting follow-up draft
Turn supplied notes into structured actions and a client draft.
Before production: The workflow never sends the draft or creates tasks.
03
Weekly KPI digest
Calculate changes, flag missing values, and email an operator digest.
Before production: You add duplicate-period protection before production use.

What one free workflow actually does with a lead
The input below is the success fixture shipped with the pack. The rules are the scoring expressions inside the export, and the output is the response the webhook returns. Nothing here is a customer result; it is the file, run on its own test data.
Input · fixtures.json → success
{
"leadId": "lead_demo_1001",
"name": "Jordan Lee",
"email": "jordan@example.com",
"company": "Example Co",
"companySize": 12,
"budget": 2500,
"source": "website",
"notes": "We need help automating lead response and qualification."
}Visible rules · score and route
- Budget 2,500 (1,000 or more)+25
- Company size 12 (5 or more)+20
- Notes 56 characters (40 or more)+20
- Score (capped at 100)65
- Route is priority only when budget is 5,000 or more or company size is 20 or more. This lead meets neither, so it routes as standard.
Output · HTTP 202
{
"accepted": true,
"leadId": "lead_demo_1001",
"route": "standard",
"acknowledgementQueued": true
}Invalid input "invalid" · HTTP 400
{
"accepted": false,
"error": "A valid name and email are required."
}What it does not do
- The export ships inactive and credential-free. You add the header-auth and SMTP credentials before it can run.
- Nothing is persisted. The caller is responsible for storing the accepted lead and its route.
- It replies 202 before sending mail, so a lead can be acknowledged even if the acknowledgement email later fails.
- There is no duplicate detection, delivery log, or error-trigger workflow. Those are production concerns the starter leaves to you.
