Triage and Route Inbound Leads

Every valid inbound inquiry is deduplicated, enriched only as needed, assigned to the right owner, and given an appropriate next action.

The process

Work it in this order.

  1. Capture the form, campaign, page, consent state, timestamp, and original inquiry without overwriting source data.
  2. Validate required fields, detect spam, and match the person and company against existing CRM records.
  3. Apply documented fit, intent, territory, product, customer-status, and ownership rules.
  4. Route high-priority inquiries to a named owner with an alert and a response deadline; place lower-priority leads into the approved nurture path.
  5. Send a truthful acknowledgement that sets expectations and gives the lead a way to correct preferences.
  6. Escalate unowned, conflicting, or failed assignments to a monitored queue rather than silently dropping them.
  7. Audit routing outcomes and response delays, then fix recurring rule gaps and duplicate creation.

Bring this

Inputs the cat will ask for.

  • Inbound lead records
  • Routing and ownership rules
  • Qualification definitions
  • Consent and nurture policy

Router + one playbook

Route first. Choose one.

Cat Paw loads one playbook per task rather than merging several. Start with this router; the remaining paths are workflow-specific candidates it can inspect.

  • Router: sales-pack
  • skills/marketing/prospecting/SKILL.md
  • skills/marketing/sales-enablement/SKILL.md

Guardrails

The boundaries travel with the prompt.

  • Preserve source and consent metadata.
  • Do not enrich beyond a legitimate, documented purpose.
  • Prevent duplicate outreach when a customer or open opportunity already exists.
  • Maintain a human-owned exception queue and an audit trail.

Done means

A checkable finish.

Every non-spam inbound lead has one CRM record, a documented disposition, a named owner or nurture path, and no unresolved routing error.
