Every lead is logged. Leads above your threshold trigger Slack and email alerts.\n\n**How it works:**\n1. An n8n Form captures the lead (either have a link to this form on your website/email or where you see fit)\n2. The Config node holds your ICP, threshold, Slack channel, and alert email.\n3. Claude returns a fit score, tier, reasoning, and suggested next step.\n4. Every lead gets appended to Google Sheets.\n5. An IF node escalates only leads at or above your threshold.\n\n**How to use:**\n- Connect Anthropic, Google Sheets, Slack and Gmail.\n- Replace the Sheet ID and alert email.\n- Edit the ICP and threshold in Config.\n- Tweak the form fields, then turn it on and share the form link."
