Enquiry-to-quote auto follow-up for small businesses
A done-for-you automation for small businesses. It captures enquiries, drafts replies with AI for you to approve, logs every lead and chases quiet customers for you. It's set up on your own n8n for a one-off £120.
In the demo, a test enquiry goes in and within seconds it's logged as a hot lead, with a draft reply, an owner alert and a follow-up ready.
30-second demo of the workflow running on test data. In this demo the reply is template-based; client setups can use your own AI key. All names and enquiries are fake.
None of this means you're bad at your job. It just means there aren't enough hours in the day.
Every enquiry from your website form and/or a dedicated enquiry inbox is picked up automatically.
Each enquiry is tagged by job type and urgency, missing details are flagged, and a draft reply is written in your tone. Hot leads trigger an alert to you.
You approve the reply (quotes and prices always wait for you). The lead goes into a Google Sheet with a status and next action, and if they go quiet, a follow-up is drafted (or sent automatically, if you choose).


| Without Sowlark | With Sowlark | |
|---|---|---|
| New enquiry | Sits in the inbox until you're off the job | Captured straight away, with a draft reply ready |
| Writing replies | Typed from scratch in the evening | Draft reply in your tone; you approve it |
| Urgent jobs | Spotted late, if at all | Tagged by urgency; hot leads alert you |
| Tracking leads | Inbox, form and memory | One Google Sheet with status, date and next action |
| Quiet customers | Never chased | Follow-up drafted after a set number of days, in your wording (sent automatically only if you choose) |
One-off setup
No ongoing fee from us.
Running costs, paid directly to the providers: n8n Cloud from €20/month billed annually (or we install n8n on your own server at no extra charge; you pay your server provider), plus AI usage on your own API key, billed by your AI provider with no markup from us.
Not included: n8n or server costs, AI usage costs, and changes after handover (quoted separately if you need them).
You do. Everything runs on your n8n account and your Google Sheet, using your AI key. We don't host anything.
Enquiries pass through your own n8n, your Google Sheet and your AI provider. You're the data controller. We only have access during setup, and that access is removed at handover.
Ideally a temporary user on your n8n (or server) and the accounts being connected. After handover you remove that user or change those credentials, and we can talk you through it.
No. You can sign up for n8n Cloud (from €20/month billed annually, paid to n8n), or we can install n8n free on a server you own.
Access to your n8n (or your server), the enquiry form or inbox to connect, a Google account for the lead sheet, your AI API key, and a quick rundown of your services and how you like to word things.
Only if you want it to. By default you approve every draft; if you choose, routine replies and follow-ups can go out automatically. Quotes and prices always need your approval.
Your n8n plan (or server), plus AI usage billed per use by your provider. We don't charge any ongoing fee.
You are the controller. During setup we act as your data processor; a short data processing agreement is available on request.
You get a handover walkthrough and written notes. Any changes after handover are quoted separately.
Yes. Watch the demo, which uses sample data only.
