Client Intake Workflow
Turn Leads into Real Conversations
Your client intake process shouldn’t depend on copy-pasting emails or sorting through spreadsheets. Convex.Systems builds AI-driven intake workflows using n8n, OpenAI, and AgentKit — so every inquiry is captured, organized, and followed up automatically.
This system gives small and mid-sized businesses the structure they need to manage new leads efficiently — without technical overhead.
How the Client Intake Workflow Works
This workflow combines three key technologies — n8n for logic and routing, OpenAI for intelligent text processing, and AgentKit for multi-step automation. Together, they remove friction from the first step of your client relationship.
Step-by-Step Workflow
01
Capture Every Inquiry
A client fills out your web form, sends an email, or messages you on social media. n8n automatically detects new entries, pulls in relevant details, and removes duplicates.
02
Understand Intent and Context
OpenAI reads the message and generates a short internal summary —
“Client is looking for a website redesign and SEO support for a local business.”
This turns raw text into actionable insight.
03
Tag and Route the Lead
AgentKit assigns tags like New Client, Follow-Up Required, or Urgent. It can create a new record in your CRM (HubSpot, Notion, or Google Sheets) and notify your team via Slack or email.
04
Send an Instant Reply
A friendly, branded response goes out automatically —
“Thanks for reaching out! We’ve received your request and will get back to you shortly.”
05
Track and Report
All interactions are logged in your dashboard. You can view new leads, conversation summaries, and next-step triggers in one place.

Why Automate Client Intake?
Manual intake eats time and creates risk — missed inquiries, inconsistent data, delayed responses.
With automation, every new contact is logged, summarized, and acknowledged instantly.
- AI-Optimized Content: Crafted specifically to be indexed and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
- Speed & Mobile Excellence: Because AI prefers fast-loading, mobile-first content too.
- Competitive Insights: Strategic analysis to outshine your rivals in AI recommendations.
- Voice Search Readiness: Structuring your content to answer natural language queries and appear in AI answers.
