AI Lead Response System
Every enquiry through our contact form gets a personalised reply without anyone watching an inbox. We built it for ourselves and run it every day.
The challenge
Enquiries arrive at unpredictable times, and how fast you reply affects whether they turn into a conversation at all. Watching an inbox is not a job worth giving anyone. We built this for our own contact form.
What we built
A response pipeline running on self-hosted n8n:
- Inbound lead data fires an n8n webhook
- Message content, name and context go to Google Gemini 2.5 Flash
- Gemini drafts a reply in the sender’s own language
- Gmail sends it via OAuth2 from info@digiduo.ai
- The full interaction is logged to Google Sheets
Stack: n8n (self-hosted) · Google Gemini 2.5 Flash · Gmail OAuth2 · Google Sheets · Web3Forms · Hetzner VPS
The result
This is one of the few systems we run with no person in the loop - the reply goes out on its own, at any hour of the day. It is also the cheapest thing we operate.
