What counts as 'high-value'?

Whatever you set — the default is 1000, but you change the threshold in one field on the Is High Value? node.

Can I route different value tiers differently?

Yes — duplicate the IF node to add more tiers (e.g. a second, even-higher threshold that also texts you).

High-Value Lead Alert

Not every lead deserves the same urgency. This automation logs every lead to a sheet, but only fires a priority Slack alert (with an @here mention) and a direct email to sales when the estimated deal value crosses your threshold — so the biggest opportunities never sit in a queue.

How it works

Every lead gets logged to your sheet no matter what — nothing falls through the cracks. But only leads at or above your value threshold trigger the loud stuff: a Slack alert (with an @here mention) and a direct email to your sales team, so the deals worth dropping everything for actually get noticed.
