Sales Medium to set up Automation Enrich

ICP Prospect List Builder

Source reviewed Updated 2026-07-07

Finds ICP-matched companies via Surfe, enriches contacts with verified emails and phones, then syncs them to HubSpot.

What it does

Get a ready-to-use list of Ideal Customer Profile matches with verified emails and phone numbers automatically synced to your HubSpot. You can trigger this process manually or on a schedule to receive clean, validated prospects without any manual data entry.

Step by step

  1. Configure the n8n workflow with a manual trigger node to initiate the process on demand.
  2. Set up HTTP request nodes for Surfe API calls using specific ICP parameters and contact search queries.
  3. Implement a code node that filters results by checking if both email and phone fields are present and non-null.
  4. Connect the final output to HubSpot's CRM integration node to create or update contacts based on unique identifiers.

Where the LLM does the work

  • Generate precise JSON payloads for the Surfe API search queries that accurately reflect complex Ideal Customer Profile criteria.
  • Write robust JavaScript code within the n8n code node to handle edge cases in data cleaning and validation logic.
  • Draft personalized email notification templates for Gmail that dynamically insert the count of new prospects found.

Watch out for

Invalid JSON structures in the Surfe response will crash the workflow, so add a try-catch block or error handling node before parsing data.

## Specification
- What it does: Get a ready-to-use list of Ideal Customer Profile matches with verified emails and phone numbers automatically synced to your HubSpot. You can trigger this process manually or on a schedule to receive clean, validated prospects without any manual data entry.
- Trigger: Run manually (Manual · on demand or scheduled)

- Tools/services involved:
  - n8n: Workflow orchestration and automation logic
  - Surfe: ICP company search, people discovery, and contact enrichment
  - HubSpot: Storing and managing enriched prospect contacts

## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation
1. Invalid JSON structures in the Surfe response will crash the workflow, so add a try-catch block or error handling node before parsing data.

## Reference implementation
https://n8n.io/workflows/7130 (workflow template)
Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it;
if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools.

## Process requirements
1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and
   what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume.
2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack.
3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each.
4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data.
5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?

Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.

Want this running in your business?

This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
