The operating problem

Call outcomes need to reach the lead record.

An outbound calling process involves choosing whom to call, handling numbers that cannot be dialed, recording what happened and preparing a human follow-up when it is needed. If those steps sit in separate tools, the team must reconcile the call with the CRM record.

Property Mind's workflow connects lead selection, AI calling and the Bigin CRM handoff around that operating sequence.

What was implemented

Two connected n8n workflows handle the call and its outcome.

The outbound workflow retrieves Bigin contacts, filters candidates, validates the available mobile number and starts a Bolna call. It locks the lead during processing, writes a queued call status to Bigin and marks invalid numbers as skipped.

A separate Bolna webhook workflow receives the final call event, normalizes its status, classifies the conversation intent and routes the result. Its configured path checks for duplicate CRM activities, logs a qualifying conversation, updates the contact and prepares a callback task when the outcome calls for one.

Team handoff

Bigin is the place to review the lead after a call.

The configured writeback gives the team a contact update and, for qualifying conversations, a call activity. The callback path prepares a task for a person to follow up. The export shows these routes and duplicate-activity checks; the number of successful updates and callbacks has not been independently verified.

Measurement limits

Usage is confirmed; outcomes await log review.

The project owner confirms that this system was used with real leads. The reviewed exports do not include a completed-call ledger or matching Bigin activity records. This case study therefore describes implementation and operating intent, without a call count, contact rate, conversion result or speed claim. Redacted call and CRM logs would be needed to verify those measures.

Implementation lessons

Design the CRM handoff with the call.

  1. Filter before dialing. Candidate and number checks keep the call queue tied to usable CRM records.
  2. Handle final outcomes separately. The webhook path can act on the completed event rather than the initial call request.
  3. Protect the activity log. Duplicate checks and a defined callback route make the resulting CRM record more useful to the team.
