Send Dux-Soup leads to your CRM with n8n

Difficulty: Advanced (API + n8n)

This guide shows how to capture LinkedIn profile data from Dux-Soup using a webhook and send it into your CRM automatically via n8n.

What You’ll Need

  • A Dux-Soup Turbo or Cloud account
  • n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
  • CRM with API access

Step 1: Create the n8n webhook

Add a Webhook Trigger node.

Copy the webhook.

The HTTP method must be specified as POST.

Paste it into Dux-Soup → Options → Connect → Webhook URL and enable the Visit event.

The Connect tab is located within Dux-Soup expert interface.

Click on 'Listen for test event'.

Send a sample of a visit event (Options → Connect).

Switch to a production webhook after testing.


The Dux-Soup data is located in the body section.


Step 2: Create or update the lead in your CRM

Choose the CRM node and set up Credentials to connect to CRM. In this example, we use Zoho CRM:

Add Zoho CRM to your n8n workflow → Create or update a lead



Drag the input field and match it to:

    • Company
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Email
    • Industry, etc.

Suggested custom fields include: LinkedIn Profile URL, LinkedIn ID, LinkedIn Degree, and LinkedIn Title.


This example is broadly applicable to most CRM systems.
