Zero-Cost Lead Generation with n8n: Solar & Real Estate Agencies

n8n Workflows • 10 min read

Indian solar and real estate agencies struggle with manual lead generation – endless calls, spreadsheets, missed WhatsApp inquiries. Enter zero cost lead gen n8n India: self-hosted automation capturing Google Forms leads, storing in Supabase, and notifying via WhatsApp instantly. No Zapier fees (₹2000+/mo), full control, unlimited runs for solar real estate automation.

The Cost Problem: Why Cloud Automation Fails MSMEs

Zapier Starter: ₹2000/mo (750 tasks), Pro: ₹4000/mo. Solar agency with 50 leads/day = 1500 tasks/mo = extra tiers. n8n self-hosted: ₹0 forever after VPS (~₹500/mo).

  • 80% agencies abandon paid tools within 6 months
  • Manual processes miss 60% leads during off-hours
n8n Architecture: Forms → Webhook → DB → WhatsApp

Step-by-Step Lead Workflow Setup

  1. 1.Create Google Form for solar/real estate inquiries
  2. 2.Self-host n8n, create webhook trigger
  3. 3.Connect Supabase/PostgreSQL for lead storage
  4. 4.Integrate WhatsApp Cloud API notification
  5. 5.Test: Submit form → instant team alert
