Stop wasting sales time on unqualified leads. Use this AI agent template to automatically filter incoming leads by email domain, enrich qualified leads with detailed company information, route them to your Slack channel, and prepare a personalized outreach email draft - all without manual intervention.

Whether you're a sales team handling high lead volume or a founder qualifying inbound interest, this template ensures every qualified lead gets immediate, personalized attention while unqualified leads are filtered out automatically.

How this template works

This agent filters, enriches, and prepares outreach for new leads automatically. Here's the end-to-end process:

A new lead enters your system - from a form, CRM, or another source.
The agent filters the lead based on email domain, removing personal email addresses and known unqualified domains.
Qualified leads are enriched with company data including revenue, company size, location, and industry.
The agent further qualifies leads based on your defined criteria - revenue threshold, company size, location, and role.
Qualified leads are sent to a designated Slack channel with key details for your sales team to review.
A personalized outreach email draft is created in Gmail and shared for team review and approval.

Once your Zaps are published, the workflow runs automatically - no manual steps needed.

Frequently asked questions

What sources can leads come from?

The agent can process leads from any source connected to Zapier - including Typeform, Google Forms, HubSpot, Salesforce, or a Google Sheet. Just configure the trigger to match your lead source.

How does the domain filtering work?

The agent checks the lead's email domain and filters out personal email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) and any domains you add to an exclusion list. Only business email domains proceed to enrichment.

Can I customize what qualifies as a good lead?

Yes. You configure the qualification criteria in the agent settings. Common criteria include minimum annual revenue, company size range, specific geographic markets, and seniority level.

Does the outreach email send automatically?

No. The agent creates a draft in Gmail for your review before sending. This ensures every outreach is reviewed and approved before going to a prospect.
