How This Automation is Working & Why It’s Needed

Imagine you are a lawyer, advisor, or a contract automation company. Every day you need to process huge amounts of data about potential customers visiting your website and respond to their interest in time. This can be a real headache, given the constant flow of visitors and the need to personalize your approach to each potential customer. 

NoCode4All made a workflow that solves this problem by automating the identification, data enrichment, and targeting of visitors in real-time, with minimal human involvement.

What is Latenode?

Latenode offers a wide range of nodes that trigger scripts and perform specific actions, enabling you to build scenarios like assembling Lego blocks. These include integrations with various apps and utility modules like Wait, Iterate Data, Set Variables, etc. Each node and integration has different customization options. 

The platform also supports Javascript code integration nodes, an AI-powered assistant that can write code, explain it, and debug existing snippets, as well as HTTP requests. They let you interact with the APIs of unavailable apps and execute custom actions in the scenario. The code and HTTP blocks play a key role in the scenario. 

It allows for real-time identification, data enrichment, and targeted outreach to visitors, dynamically adjusting efforts based on company traffic, with minimal human involvement. Let's see what the scenario is all about!

Impact TLDR:

• 62% lead generation increase: the number grew from 500 to 810 qualified leads per month
• 45% increase in lead engagement: before automation, 20% of leads engaged in the brand’s activities on average; after automation, the share grew to 29%.
• The average share of leads converting grew from 5% to 7% – a 40% improvement
• Automation increased the share of personalized communications from 20% to 50%
• Response time decreased from up to 24 hours to no more than 4.8 hours – by 80%.

Tools Used in the Scenario

1. Dealfront's Leadfeeder. Tracks companies visiting your website, providing real-time insights into potential leads based on web traffic data.
2. Apollo. A comprehensive data aggregation tool that helps you to access company and contact information, enabling more accurate targeting. It offers an API system that allows you to gather needed information about website visitors.
3. Instantly. An automated cold email platform that customizes outreach campaigns, ensuring each message is aligned with the engagement potential of the lead.

Steps of Operation

Given the confidentiality constraints in the contract automation sector, this section will focus on the broader aspects of the workflow. It will explore the functionality without delving into specific details, such as the JS code nodes, etc. Below is an overview of the key operational stages:

1. Data Extraction from Leadfeeder in Latenode

An HTTP request is sent to Leadfeeder’s API to extract a list of companies visiting the website, along with website URLs. The system analyzes this traffic data to determine the engagement potential of each company, enabling more informed decision-making.

2. Company Matching and Enrichment in Apollo

Latenode passes the extracted URLs to Apollo via another API request, where they are matched with existing company records. Apollo then retrieves detailed information about individuals within these companies, focusing on those most likely to make purchasing decisions.

3. Contact Extraction & Enrichment

Using the Legal ICP filter, Apollo extracts the contact & corporate details of people in specific companies that match the ideal customer profile in the Legal industry. The end result is an array of contact details such as names. Emails, jobs, and company information. 

4. Automated Campaigns via Instantly

Latenode sends the detailed contact list to Instantly using its API. Instantly then adds these contacts to a ready-made email campaign. It automatically sends custom emails to each potential customer, which helps engage more leads in conversation.

Running every 5 minutes by a schedule, the workflow turns website visitors into actionable leads, making it possible to focus on nurturing them and closing deals rather than handling tedious data entry tasks. This brings higher conversions, better engagement, and greater business growth without hiring new staff.
