Is this compliant with Meta/LinkedIn's terms?

Yes — it uses each platform's own official Lead Ads webhook/API integration to receive data, not scraping or unauthorized access.

Can I score leads by form answers?

Yes — add scoring logic based on budget/company-size fields your lead form captures, and route high scores differently.

Lead GenerationStructurally Validated

Ad Platform Lead Router

Every lead from Meta or LinkedIn Lead Ads is instantly logged to your CRM sheet, gets a quick auto-reply, and your sales team gets a Slack ping — so ad leads get contacted in minutes, not hours, using the platforms' own official lead-sync integrations.

Automation flow

Step 1

Lead Ads Webhook

Receives the lead via the platform's official integration.

Step 2

Normalize Lead

Cleans up name, email, phone, and campaign.

Step 3

Step 4

Instant Follow-up Email

Low-pressure acknowledgment.

Step 5

Notify Sales

Slack alert for immediate personal follow-up.

How it works

1Someone submits a Lead Ads form on Meta or LinkedIn.
2Their details flow through the platform's official webhook/integration into this workflow.
3An IF node checks whether the lead has a usable email OR phone number — ad platforms occasionally send test/junk submissions with neither. Leads with real contact info get logged Status = New and go through the normal flow below; leads with neither get logged Status = Invalid - no email or phone and stop there (no follow-up email, no Slack ping — there's nothing to contact them with anyway).
4Valid leads get an instant, low-pressure follow-up email, and sales gets a Slack alert to follow up personally.
