Lead Follow-Up Agent — AI Automation Template

The Lead Follow-Up Agent is a done-for-you Make.com automation template designed to instantly respond to new leads from websites, forms, or lead ads. It uses AI to write warm, personalized replies that sound human, then sends them from your own email inbox, logs every lead and reply into an Airtable tracker, and pings your team on Slack so no hot lead is missed. The template is packaged as an import-ready Make.com blueprint along with a detailed setup guide, a tuned AI prompt, and troubleshooting instructions, allowing you to deploy it in under 30 minutes without any coding or prompt engineering experience. This system is built on Make.com (a cloud automation platform) and integrates with Airtable for record-keeping and Anthropic's Claude API for AI-generated email content. You provide your own Make.com and Airtable accounts (free tiers are sufficient), your personal name for the AI prompt, and an Anthropic API key with pay-as-you-go pricing. The template is not a managed service; you purchase the blueprint and instructions to run it yourself, making it a cost-effective solution for small businesses and solo operators who want enterprise-style lead response automation without a large investment. The agent is designed for small business owners, tradies, agencies, and solo operators who receive inquiries through a website or form and need to respond within minutes around the clock. By automating the first touchpoint, it helps convert high-intent leads before they move on to competitors, while still maintaining a human, personal tone. The included prompt is specifically tuned to avoid robotic language and ensure concise, warm, and genuinely personal replies, and the whole scenario is production-tested, ready to be customized to your business context.
