LEAD ALERT

Lead comes in → logged → alert. No hands.

A form on the client site sends a lead; it is logged and an alert reaches Telegram in seconds. The first automation every consultant sets up.

The problem

The lead lands in an inbox, someone sees it two hours later, copies it into a sheet by hand and forgets to tell sales. The client loses deals and blames the website.

What happens when it runs

  1. A webhook receives the form (any form that can POST — Elementor, Typeform, Webflow)
  2. A new row in the leads log in Google Sheets, timestamped
  3. A Telegram message to sales with name, phone and source — nothing to open

The tools inside

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

  • The webhook address (created on import)
  • Spreadsheet id and sheet name
  • Chat ID of the Telegram group

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

How to import (2 minutes)

  1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
  2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
  3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
  4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
  5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON

What does not work in it

  • A webhook does not verify its source. An open form attracts spam — add a hidden field and a filter check.
  • Telegram is an alert, not a CRM. A lead nobody acts on is forgotten there as fast as in an inbox.
