How this workflow works, step by step

  1. 1 Trigger New lead

    The workflow starts when LinkedIn signals "new lead". Carly is listening continuously, so the run begins within seconds of the event.

  2. 2 LLM Enrich + qualify

    An LLM step does the thinking: enrich + qualify. Carly picks the right model for the job and you can swap models per step if you need to.

  3. 3 Action Create contact

    Finally Carly takes action in HubSpot: create contact. This is the thing that actually moves the world.

  4. 4 Action Send welcome

    Finally Carly takes action in Gmail or Outlook: send welcome. This is the thing that actually moves the world.

When to use this template

  • You want this work to happen consistently without anyone remembering to do it.
  • You're already using LinkedIn and HubSpot, and the manual version of this is eating real minutes a week.
  • You want a visible canvas you can audit and edit — not a black-box agent doing things you can't see.

When not to use it

  • This task only happens once or twice a month — the setup cost won't pay back.
  • The decision in the middle of the flow needs human judgment every single time, not just on edge cases.
  • Your stack doesn't include any of the apps above and you don't want to wire a generic HTTP step.

Questions teams ask before building this

How long does this workflow take to set up?

Most teams have "LinkedIn Lead Gen form → CRM + welcome email" running in under 10 minutes. Copy the prompt on this page into an email to carly@usecarly.com and Carly wires the workflow together for you, including authenticating LinkedIn.

Can I edit this template after Carly builds it?

Yes. Every workflow lives on the Carly canvas where you can rename steps, change conditions, swap LLM models, add filters, and re-route branches. Templates are starting points, not locked recipes.

What if I use a different tool than the ones in this template?

Carly connects to 200+ tools, plus a generic HTTP node for any API that doesn't have a native integration. Tell Carly your stack when you send the prompt and she'll pick the right connectors.

Does this run automatically once it's built?

Yes. The trigger at the start of the workflow fires automatically — on a schedule, on an inbound email, on a webhook, on a calendar event, whatever this template specifies. Carly handles the listening; you only step in when a step is gated on you.

Does this workflow cost anything to run?

Running the workflow itself — triggers, tool calls, branches, filters, waits — is free with no per-task fees. You only pay for the AI steps in this template (the LLM nodes that classify, write, or decide). Everything around them runs at no cost.
