CRM

CRM (customer relationship management) is your single source of truth for leads, deals, and support cases. Modern CRM platforms plug in LLM for meeting summaries or email drafts, but data quality comes first.

Connect webhooks and APIs in n8n to sync order or support systems. Keep GDPR in mind when personal data is sent to external models, and compare with automation when building follow-up or lead-routing workflows.

Key characteristics

  • Centralizes customer data, activities, and sales status in one system across teams.
  • Becomes more powerful with AI for summarization, prioritization, and draft generation, if data quality is high.
  • Requires clear rules for data protection, permissions, and ownership when personal data is used in AI flows.
