Once replies start coming in, reading and sorting every one by hand doesn't scale. Hot leads get buried under out-of-office messages and polite no's. This n8n workflow sorts them for you.
WHAT IT DOES
Scans your inbox and matches replies to your leads
AI sorts every reply: interested / question / not interested / later / auto-reply
Writes a one-line summary of each reply
Updates your lead sheet and files each reply into the matching tab
Never processes the same reply twice
Flags anything the AI can't classify for manual review instead of guessing
