CRM Node Capabilities
| CRM | Operations |
|---|---|
| HubSpot | Contacts, Companies, Deals, Engagements, Lists, Tickets — CRUD + Search |
| Salesforce | Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Cases, Custom Objects, SOQL |
Common CRM Workflow Patterns
| Pattern | Flow |
|---|---|
| Lead routing | Form trigger → Enrich → AI score → Switch (Hot/Warm/Cold) → CRM + Slack |
| Bi-directional sync | HubSpot Trigger → Map fields → Check Salesforce → Create/Update |
| Deal stage alerts | CRM Trigger (stage change) → Slack Block Kit message → Log to Sheets |
| Weekly pipeline | Cron Monday → Get deals by stage → Code (metrics) → Slack #sales |
| Customer onboarding | Deal Closed Won → Create project → Welcome email → Slack channel |
Key Principles
- OAuth2 for production — n8n handles token refresh automatically
- Slack Block Kit for rich notifications — header, fields, action buttons
- Switch node for routing — multiple outputs based on score/stage/territory
- Batch updates — Split In Batches when updating many CRM records
Examples
Example 1: "Route new leads to the right AE" → HubSpot Trigger → Enrich (HTTP) → AI Score (OpenAI) → Switch (80+ Hot, 50-79 Warm, <50 Cold) → Create Deal + Slack DM
Example 2: "Send weekly pipeline report to Slack" → Schedule Monday 8AM → HubSpot Get Deals → Code (total value, deals by stage, stuck >14 days) → Slack Block Kit
