Actor Identification
Primary actor: Prospect interacting with the sales assistant via website voice widget, phone, or chatbot.
Secondary actors: Voiceflow assistant, Make/Zapier automation, HubSpot CRM, Slack workspace, sales representatives.
Actor Goals
Prospect: Get fast, relevant answers and an easy path to connect with sales.
Sales Rep: Be notified instantly when a valuable lead appears and have full context before reaching out.
Automation System: Log lead data, score intent, and route notifications without delay.
CRM: Maintain complete and accurate records for all sales opportunities.
Context and Preconditions
- Voiceflow assistant configured for lead qualification and data capture
- Make or Zapier connected to HubSpot and Slack with proper authentication
- HubSpot CRM set up with fields for intent score, lead source, and activity tracking
- Slack channel or direct message path configured for lead alerts
- Intent scoring model defined (e.g., based on budget, timeline, interest level)
Basic Flow (Successful Scenario)
- Prospect interacts with the Voiceflow assistant and answers qualification questions.
- Voiceflow sends conversation data to Make/Zapier via webhook.
- Make/Zapier creates a new lead in HubSpot with captured details.
- Intent score is calculated based on responses and stored in HubSpot.
- If score meets the “high-value” threshold, Make/Zapier sends a Slack DM to the assigned rep with lead details and conversation summary.
- HubSpot triggers a follow-up sequence or prompts the rep to reach out directly.
Outcome: High-value leads are identified in real time, logged with full context, and handed off to sales instantly.
Alternate Flows
- A1: Missing required data - If the prospect does not provide enough info, the assistant prompts for missing fields before logging the lead.
- A2: Slack API delay - If Slack notification fails, Make/Zapier retries and sends a fallback email to the rep.
- A3: Duplicate lead detection - If HubSpot flags an existing contact, automation updates the record instead of creating a new one and still sends an alert.
- A4: Low-intent lead - If the intent score is below the threshold, the lead is logged in HubSpot but no Slack alert is sent; it enters a nurture sequence instead.
