Onboard leads: Outlook

Runs on a schedule across Outlook and Airtable, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for capture forms, around a "Score the Lead" step, in 10 documented nodes.

Onboard leads with Airtable and Outlook and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Drip Sequence' pattern for sales & CRM. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 10 nodes across Outlook, Airtable. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Outlook and Airtable in step for capture forms, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed Outlook or Airtable call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 10 nodes in this capture-forms build
  • Branches rejoin before Outlook, so a capture-forms run reports once rather than 10 times
  • Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 10 nodes for capture forms before wiring Outlook
  • 10 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for capture forms

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Outlook and Airtable aligned by hand for capture forms
  • Capture forms work where "Score the Lead" is still a manual step before Outlook
  • Capture forms work that only reaches Outlook on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
  2. 2
    Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
  3. 3
    Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.

What you'll learn

Foundation level

A starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.

  • Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
  • Segmenting the audience up front
  • Moving data between Airtable and Outlook in a single run

Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.

Common questions

What exactly do I get?

The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.

How do I import it into n8n?

In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.

Do I need anything else for it to work?

You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Outlook, Airtable). No coding is required.

What if it doesn't work for me?

If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.

Can I modify or resell it?

You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
