Low-code pattern: 1) Trigger (webform/new lead). 2) Formatter to normalize fields. 3) Send lead text + this prompt to ChatGPT: “Score lead 1–100 for fit/intent; return only JSON {score:int,category:'hot'|'warm'|'cold',reason:string}.” 4) Use Zapier Filters/Paths on score to route to CRM, set owner, or send nurture emails. Example: score≥80 → sales, 50–79 → SDR nurture, <50 → marketing drip.
