This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Manual Uplead Import Triggered n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   In today’s fast-paced digital economy, access to accurate business data is critical for professionals in sales, marketing, research, and business development. Whether you're qualifying leads or enriching your contact database, automation allows you to streamline these processes and make data retrieval faster and more reliable.
   
   This article explores a simple, yet powerful, low-code automation workflow using n8n—an open-source automation tool—and the UpLead API, a platform designed for real-time sales intelligence. In this mini-project, we build a workflow that retrieves information about a company (in this case, Apple) with the click of a button.
   
   What Is n8n?
   
   n8n (short for “nodemation”) is a fair-code, workflow automation tool that allows users to create integrations across a wide range of apps and services without deep programming knowledge. With support for more than 300 services—from CRMs to cloud platforms—n8n empowers teams to automate redundant tasks, streamline internal operations, and retrieve or sync external data, all using visual workflows.
   
   What Is UpLead?
   
   UpLead is a B2B contact and company data provider that equips businesses with verified leads and real-time information to fuel lead generation campaigns. It includes features such as:
   - Company search by name or domain
   - Access to firmographics, technographics, and decision-maker contact lists
   - Real-time data via API
   
   The use case we’ll explore uses the UpLead API to fetch company-level data for “Apple.”
   
   The Workflow Breakdown
   
   This n8n workflow is quite simple and includes just two nodes:
   1. Manual Trigger Node
   2. UpLead Node
   
   Step 1: Manual Trigger Node  
   The first node in the workflow is a Manual Trigger named "On clicking 'execute'." It functions as the starting point of the workflow and runs the process manually when you click the “Execute Workflow” button inside the n8n editor. This is especially useful for testing or on-demand data pulls.
   
   Step 2: UpLead Node  
   The second node is the UpLead integration node. It uses the UpLead API to fetch company details. The parameters are pre-set with the company name "Apple," meaning that every time you run this workflow, it retrieves data about Apple Inc.
   
   Here’s what the workflow does behind the scenes:
   - Waits for a manual trigger
   - Sends a request to UpLead’s API with the query company=Apple
   - Returns any matching business information such as industry, employee count, headquarters, revenue, and more (as available via UpLead)
   
   Benefits of This Workflow
   
   1. One-Click Data Retrieval  
      Instead of manually visiting a company database or searching online, you can retrieve company data in one click right inside your automation environment.
   
   2. Data Consistency  
      Using APIs like UpLead ensures the data comes from a consistent, authoritative source—minimizing human error or data fragmentation.
   
   3. Reusability  
      You can easily copy this workflow and modify just the input (company name) to use it for multiple companies. It’s perfect for sales reps, marketers, or researchers working through a list of prospects.
   
   4. Easier Integration  
      You can extend this simple workflow by automatically feeding the data into Google Sheets, your CRM (like Hubspot or Salesforce), sending it via email, or triggering further automations based on industry type or revenue thresholds.
   
   How to Enhance the Workflow
   
   Though this basic implementation is a great starting point, you could add more functionality using n8n’s expansive toolset:
   - Add a Google Sheets node to automatically store retrieved company data
   - Use an HTTP node to trigger this workflow from another app or service
   - Add a user input node to fetch any company dynamically rather than hardcoding “Apple”
   - Schedule it using a Cron node to refresh company data weekly or monthly
   
   Getting Started
   
   To use this workflow yourself:
   1. Launch your n8n environment (local, cloud, or desktop)
   2. Create a new workflow and import the JSON file
   3. Replace the empty UpLead API credentials with your actual API key
   4. Optionally, modify the company name under parameters
   5. Click “Execute Workflow” and see the results
   
   Final Thoughts
   
   When it comes to business automation, small workflows can deliver big time-savings. This n8n and UpLead integration is a prime example of how automation can simplify access to essential corporate intelligence. With minimal configuration, you empower your team to make faster, more informed decisions using up-to-date, reliable data—at the click of a button.
   
   As automation continues to reshape modern business operations, mastering tools like n8n and UpLead opens the door to scalable, flexible, and cost-effective data solutions.
   
   —  
   If you're ready to take this a step further, consider dynamically populating the company name from lead lists or linking the output to email alerts for truly hands-free intelligence gathering.
   
   Happy automating!

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
