Autonomous SDR Blueprint

32-node agentic swarm that researches, qualifies, writes, and syncs — so your SDR team focuses on closing.

A production-grade n8n workflow that automates the complete SDR pipeline: deep research via web intelligence, multi-criteria lead qualification with Chain-of-Thought reasoning, hyper-personalized email drafting, and CRM synchronization. Tested against 22 leads across 6+ verticals. BQS v2 certified.

Industrial-grade agentic workflow infrastructure

Four Agents. One Pipeline. Zero Manual Steps.

The Researcher

Step 1The Researcher

Web Intelligence

Pulls deep context from live web sources. Not a simple company lookup — the Researcher synthesizes recent activity, identifies pain points, and surfaces trigger events your SDR would spend 15 minutes finding manually.

The Judge

Step 2The Judge

Reasoning (Tier 1)

Five-criteria scoring engine: ICP fit, technographic compatibility, intent signal, budget authority, and urgency. Each criterion scored independently with explicit reasoning before a composite Lead Utility Score is assigned. The LUS ≥ 7 threshold is the deterministic bridge — only qualified leads proceed.

The Ghostwriter

Step 3The Ghostwriter

Creative (Tier 3)

No 'I hope this finds you well.' The Ghostwriter crafts emails that reference specific research findings — the trigger events, recent news, or problem signals the Researcher surfaced. Every email is constrained to 3 sentences with a direct call-to-action.

The Syncer

Step 4The Syncer

Delivery

Bearer token authentication. Structured payload mapping. Response confirmation logged. If the sync fails, retry with backoff — and if all retries fail, the record is quarantined in a dead letter log, never silently dropped.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to run this blueprint?

An n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud), an Anthropic API key, and an outbound email platform account (Instantly V2 recommended). The dependency matrix in the bundle lists every required service with estimated costs and sign-up links. Total operating cost is approximately $0.24 per qualified lead.

How long does setup take?

The README is designed for a 10-minute setup. Import the workflow JSON into n8n, configure your API credentials, customize the ICP scoring criteria for your target market, and run a test lead. During ITP testing, a CTO walkthrough completed in under 2 minutes.

Can I customize the lead scoring criteria?

Yes. The Judge agent's ICP configuration is a dedicated Set node in the workflow. Replace the example criteria with your target industry, company size, tech stack, and buying signals. The README walks through each customization point.

What happens if a lead doesn't qualify?

The Judge assigns a Lead Utility Score (LUS) from 1–10. Leads scoring below 7 are filtered — the Ghostwriter and Syncer nodes do not execute. This saves API costs and ensures only qualified leads receive outreach. Filtered leads are logged with the Judge’s reasoning for review.

What if an API call fails during processing?

Every external API call has documented error handling: retry with backoff, fallback chains where applicable, and dead letter logging for unrecoverable failures. No lead is silently dropped. The error handling matrix documents all 40 failure modes and their recovery paths.

Do I own the workflow?

Yes. You receive a .json file that runs on your own n8n instance. No SaaS subscription, no platform lock-in, no usage-based pricing from ForgeWorkflows. You own the logic and the data.

What's the refund policy?

14-day refund window from purchase date. You must demonstrate attempted deployment and identify a specific failure not covered by the documentation. Full terms at forgeworkflows.com/legal.
