n8n Lead Qualification Workflow: GetProspect + DeepSeek + Instantly

Automatically qualify GetProspect leads every 6 hours—then personalize and push them into Instantly

This n8n lead qualification workflow pulls unprocessed contacts from GetProspect, uses a DeepSeek-powered AI Agent to determine whether each person is a target, generates a one-sentence personalization hook, updates the contact back in GetProspect, and then creates/updates leads in an Instantly campaign.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule (every 6 hours) to keep your pipeline fresh.
• Fetches unprocessed contacts from GetProspect where the custom processed field is not set to Yes, and loads full contact details.
• Normalizes contact + company data and sends title and company size to a DeepSeek AI Agent to decide target status.
• Parses AI output as JSON and updates the GetProspect contact with:
  • processed
  • is_target
  • reasoning
• For qualified targets with a valid email, sends the profile summary and/or company description to DeepSeek to generate a personalization hook (one sentence).
• Parses the hook as JSON and creates/updates the lead in Instantly, adding it to the specified campaign.

Use cases

• SaaS teams that want AI-assisted lead qualification before sending outbound outreach.
• Automation engineers building an n8n pipeline between data enrichment, AI decisioning, and outreach execution.
• Operators who need tracking fields (processed / is_target / reasoning) inside GetProspect for auditability.
