Push GitHub Developer Leads to Follow Up Boss

Why Push GitHub Leads Into Follow Up Boss

Follow Up Boss is a CRM built for high-velocity contact management and follow-up workflows. If you sell a developer tool, a proptech product, or any B2B SaaS where your prospects are active on GitHub, you can pipe real-time developer intent signals — stargazers, keyword mentions, PR activity — directly into Follow Up Boss. GitLeads captures those signals and routes enriched lead profiles to the tools your sales team already uses.

What Lead Data GitLeads Provides

• GitHub username, display name, and email (when public on profile)
• Company name and location from the GitHub profile
• Bio, follower count, and top programming languages
• Signal context: which repo they starred or the exact keyword they triggered
• GitHub profile URL and avatar image

Integration Method 1: GitLeads Webhook → n8n → Follow Up Boss

GitLeads fires a webhook payload for every lead event. You can catch it in n8n and use the Follow Up Boss REST API to create contacts.

// n8n HTTP Request node — Follow Up Boss Create Contact
// POST https://api.followupboss.com/v1/people
// Auth: Basic <base64(API_KEY:)>  (colon after key, empty password)

const payload = {
  firstName: `{{ $json.name.split(' ')[0] }}`,
  lastName: `{{ $json.name.split(' ').slice(1).join(' ') }}`,
  emails: [{ value: `{{ $json.email }}`, type: 'work' }],
  source: 'GitLeads',
  tags: ['github-lead', `{{ $json.signal_type }}`],
  customFields: {
    github_username: `{{ $json.github_username }}`,
    signal_context: `{{ $json.signal_context }}`,
    top_language: `{{ $json.top_languages[0] }}`,
    company: `{{ $json.company }}`,
  },
};

Integration Method 2: GitLeads Webhook → Zapier → Follow Up Boss

1. In GitLeads, create a webhook destination pointing to your Zapier webhook URL.
2. In Zapier, create a Zap: Trigger = Webhooks by Zapier (Catch Hook), Action = Follow Up Boss (Create Person).
3. Map fields: name, email, company → Follow Up Boss contact fields.
4. Add a tag like "github-lead" and populate a custom field with signal_context.
5. Test the Zap with a sample payload from GitLeads to confirm the mapping.

Enriching Leads Before They Hit Follow Up Boss

GitLeads already enriches GitHub profiles with email, company, bio, top languages, and follower count. For additional enrichment — phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, company size — add a Clay step between GitLeads and Follow Up Boss to hydrate leads before they land in your CRM.

Routing Rules in Follow Up Boss

• Tag "stargazer-lead" → assign to SDR sequence for cold outreach
• Tag "keyword-mention" → route to AE queue as a warmer intent signal
• Custom field "top_language = python" → segment into data/ML SaaS pipeline
• Custom field "company" is not empty → priority contact for enterprise pipeline
• Source "GitLeads" → filter for all GitHub-sourced contacts in pipeline reporting
