Generated Leads

👥 Run the agent to see leads here
Complete production code for all 7 steps. Replace ADD_YOUR_XXX_HERE with real keys.
Each step is a standalone async function — wire in n8n nodes or run as Node.js.
Step 1 — ICP Validation
// STEP 1: Validate ICP criteria
// n8n: Code node as first node after Webhook/Schedule trigger

const validateICP = (p) => {
  if (!p.industry) throw new Error("Industry is required");
  if (!p.product)  throw new Error("Product description is required");
  return {
    industry:  p.industry,
    region:    p.region    || "germany",
    size:      p.size      || "sme",
    title:     p.title     || "procurement",
    product:   p.product,
    leadCount: parseInt(p.leadCount) || 10,
    threshold: parseInt(p.threshold) || 70,
    runId:     Math.random().toString(36).slice(2,10)
  };
};
Step 2 — Company Search (Apollo.io or OpenAI fallback)
// STEP 2: Find matching companies
// Production: Apollo.io API for verified real contacts
// Fallback: OpenAI generates realistic prospect data

const OPENAI_API_KEY = "ADD_YOUR_OPENAI_KEY_HERE";  // REPLACE
const APOLLO_API_KEY  = "ADD_YOUR_APOLLO_KEY_HERE";   // REPLACE (optional)

const searchCompanies = async (icp) => {
  // Try Apollo first (real verified contacts)
  if (APOLLO_API_KEY && !APOLLO_API_KEY.includes("ADD_YOUR")) {
    const r = await fetch("https://api.apollo.io/v1/mixed_people/search", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        api_key: APOLLO_API_KEY,
        q_organization_name: icp.industry,
        person_titles: [icp.title],
        organization_locations: [icp.region],
        page: 1, per_page: icp.leadCount
      })
    });
    const d = await r.json();
    return d.people.map(p => ({
      name: p.name, title: p.title,
      company: p.organization_name,
      email: p.email, linkedin: p.linkedin_url,
      location: p.city+", "+p.country,
      employees: p.organization?.num_employees,
      revenue: p.organization?.annual_revenue_printed
    }));
  }
  // Fallback: OpenAI generates realistic prospect data
  const r = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      model: "gpt-4o-mini", response_format: {type:"json_object"},
      messages: [{role:"system",content:"B2B researcher. Return ONLY valid JSON."},
        {role:"user",content:`Generate ${icp.leadCount} B2B prospects.
Industry:${icp.industry} Region:${icp.region} Size:${icp.size} Title:${icp.title}
Product:${icp.product}
Return: {"prospects":[{"name":"","title":"","company":"","email":"","linkedin":"","location":"","employees":0,"revenue":"","recentActivity":"","painPoints":[]}]}`}],
      temperature:0.6
    })
  });
  const d = await r.json();
  return JSON.parse(d.choices[0].message.content).prospects;
};
Steps 3+4 — Enrichment + ICP Scoring
// STEPS 3+4: Enrich data and score each lead 0-100 against ICP
// Scores on: industry fit (30), size fit (20), title fit (25), geo fit (15), timing (10)

const scoreLeads = async (prospects, icp) => {
  const r = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {"Authorization":`Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,"Content-Type":"application/json"},
    body: JSON.stringify({

Score each on: industryFit(30)+sizeFit(20)+titleFit(25)+geoFit(15)+timing(10)=100
Return: {"scored":[{"index":0,"icpScore":85,"scoreBreakdown":{"industryFit":28,"sizeFit":18,"titleFit":22,"geoFit":12,"timing":5},"scoreReason":"one sentence","priority":"hot|warm|cold"}]}`}
      ]
    })
  });
  const d = await r.json();
  const scores = JSON.parse(d.choices[0].message.content).scored;
  return prospects.map((p,i) => ({...p, ...scores.find(s=>s.index===i)||{}}));
};
Step 5 — Deduplication (HubSpot API)
// STEP 5: Check HubSpot for existing contacts by email
// Skips if HubSpot not configured

const HUBSPOT_TOKEN = "ADD_YOUR_HUBSPOT_TOKEN_HERE"; // REPLACE

const deduplicate = async (leads) => {
  if (!HUBSPOT_TOKEN || HUBSPOT_TOKEN.includes("ADD_YOUR"))
    return leads.map(l => ({...l, existsInCRM:false}));

  return Promise.all(leads.map(async lead => {
    try {
      const r = await fetch("https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {"Authorization":`Bearer ${HUBSPOT_TOKEN}`,"Content-Type":"application/json"},
        body: JSON.stringify({
          filterGroups:[{filters:[{propertyName:"email",operator:"EQ",value:lead.email}]}]
        })
      });
      const d = await r.json();
      return {...lead, existsInCRM: d.total > 0};
    } catch { return {...lead, existsInCRM:false}; }
  }));
};
Step 6 — HubSpot CRM Push
// STEP 6: Create Contact + Company in HubSpot
// Creates company record first, then links contact to it

const pushToHubSpot = async (lead) => {
  if (!HUBSPOT_TOKEN || HUBSPOT_TOKEN.includes("ADD_YOUR") || lead.existsInCRM)
    return {skipped:true};

  const h = {"Authorization":`Bearer ${HUBSPOT_TOKEN}`,"Content-Type":"application/json"};
  const co = await (await fetch("https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies",{
    method:"POST", headers:h,
    body:JSON.stringify({properties:{
      name:lead.company, city:lead.location.split(",")[0],
      numberofemployees:lead.employees?.toString(), hs_lead_status:"NEW"
    }})
  })).json();

  const [fn,...ln] = lead.name.split(" ");
  const ct = await (await fetch("https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts",{
    method:"POST", headers:h,
    body:JSON.stringify({
      properties:{
        firstname:fn, lastname:ln.join(" "), email:lead.email,
        jobtitle:lead.title, linkedinbio:lead.linkedin,
        hs_lead_status:"NEW",

        ai_opener:lead.opener
      },
      associations:[{to:{id:co.id},types:[{associationCategory:"HUBSPOT_DEFINED",associationTypeId:1}]}]
    })
  })).json();
  return {contactId:ct.id, companyId:co.id};
};
Step 7 — AI Opener Writer
// STEP 7: Write personalised first-line opener per lead
// German B2B tone: direct, formal Sie-form, no hype, specific reference

const writeOpener = async (lead, product, region) => {
  const r = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", {
    method:"POST",
    headers:{"Authorization":`Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,"Content-Type":"application/json"},
    body:JSON.stringify({
      model:"gpt-4o-mini", max_tokens:80, temperature:0.8,
      messages:[
        {role:"system",content:`B2B sales writer for ${region}.
