Lead Routing Intelligent lead assignment and routing system with AI-powered scoring, territory mapping, round-robin distribution, and workload balancing. Based on n8n's HubSpot/Salesforce automation templates. Overview This skill covers: Lead scoring and qualification Territory-based routing Round-robin distribution Workload balancing SLA monitoring and escalation Routing Strategies 1. Rule-Based Routing routing_rules :
By Company Size
- name : "Enterprise Routing" condition : company_size : ">= 500" OR : annual_revenue : ">= $10M" assign_to : "Enterprise Team" priority : high sla : 1_hour - name : "Mid-Market Routing" condition : company_size : "100-499" assign_to : "Mid-Market Team" priority : medium sla : 4_hours - name : "SMB Routing" condition : company_size : "< 100" assign_to : "SMB Team" priority : standard sla : 24_hours
By Geography
- name : "APAC Routing" condition : country : [ "China" , "Japan" , "Singapore" , "Australia" ] assign_to : "APAC Team" timezone_aware : true - name : "EMEA Routing" condition : country : [ "UK" , "Germany" , "France" , "Netherlands" ] assign_to : "EMEA Team" - name : "Americas Routing" condition : country : [ "US" , "Canada" , "Brazil" , "Mexico" ] assign_to : "Americas Team"
By Industry
- name : "Healthcare Specialist" condition : industry : [ "Healthcare" , "Pharmaceuticals" , "Medical Devices" ] assign_to : "Healthcare Sales" - name : "Finance Specialist" condition : industry : [ "Banking" , "Insurance" , "FinTech" ] assign_to : "Financial Services Sales" 2. Round-Robin Distribution round_robin_config : team : "SMB Sales" members : - name : Alice capacity : 100% max_leads_per_day : 20 - name : Bob capacity : 100% max_leads_per_day : 20 - name : Carol capacity : 50%

Hot lead, immediate follow-up
B : 60 - 79
Qualified, standard follow-up

Low priority, long-term nurture

CTOs at similar SaaS companies often tell us {common_challenge}. Would a 15-min call this week make sense to see if we can help? [Calendly Link]
