How does this automation work?

Automating the lead qualification and contact creation process in Salesforce can be a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize their sales funnel. Bardeen offers a playbook that leverages Apollo to enrich lead data and then uses that information to qualify and create a contact in Salesforce. This workflow is designed for sales professionals aiming to enhance lead management, boost efficiency, and drive revenue growth.

Here's how this workflow processes a Salesforce lead and creates a Salesforce contact:

  • Step 1: Retrieve Salesforce lead - Bardeen fetches the lead from Salesforce using the lead's name provided by the user. Salesforce is a CRM tool that helps manage customer information.
  • Step 2: Extract email - Converts the lead's name text into an email format, preparing it for enrichment.
  • Step 3: Enrich with Apollo - Finds additional contact information using Apollo, which is known for efficient lead prospecting.
  • Step 4: Merge data - Combines the personal and organizational information from Apollo into a single table for better clarity.
  • Step 5: Qualify lead - Using a customized Bardeen AI classifier, the playbook qualifies the lead based on your specified criteria.
  • Step 6: Create Salesforce contact - For leads that meet the qualification criteria, a new contact is created in Salesforce, adding them to your CRM for further engagement.

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Salesforce

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Salesforce.


Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to customize your sales qualification task. Once you click this option, the qualification flow will start. Bardeen will ask you questions about your business.

It will then ask you to describe your qualification criteria. It’s important to give clear details here, as this prompt will be the main way Bardeen will qualify your leads. For the example below, I described clearly the criteria for my qualification based on the leads that I want to qualify from Salesforce.

Once this step is completed, Bardeen will ask you to train the model.

This step is optional. However, we recommend that you complete this step as it will increase the quality of your results.

After your qualification is entered, click on “Save Input” and checkmark Google Sheets and your qualifier. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 2: Run the playbook to qualify leads from Salesforce using Apollo

To qualify your leads, press Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard to launch Bardeen. Click on the playbook card and run your playbook. It will get information for the leads using Apollo.io and analyze the information based on your qualification task. It will then create a new Salesforce contact from the lead, if it is a qualified lead. Bardeen will display the qualification results and reason on the screen. 


It will then create a Salesforce contact with updated information from Apollo.io.



You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
