Automated Competitor Take-Out Trigger Bot Using Clay, n8n, Groq (Llama 3.3), and HubSpot for Outbound Teams

🔥 Built a Competitor Take-Out Trigger Bot using Clay + n8n + Groq(llama 3.3) + HubSpot [Don't miss out on the images!] Most outbound teams waste hours manually checking which of their prospects are locked into legacy CRMs — the ones they're trying to displace. I automated the entire process — detection, scoring, and a personalised take-out pitch delivered to an SDR in real time. Here's how it works: 🔍 Clay scans 10 target companies for their full tech stack using technographic enrichment ⚡ A formula flags companies running HubSpot/Salesforce/Freshworks — automatically 📊 A weighted switchability score (0-10) ranks each company by likelihood to switch 🤖 Groq (Llama 3.3) generates a personalised take-out pitch using news signals, hiring data, and CRM pain points 📲 n8n routes hot targets (score ≥ 7) vs watch list targets (score < 7) into separate Slack alerts — with the email pitch ready to send 🗂️ Every record lands in HubSpot as a company record with all enriched fields What's new for me this time: → Technographics enrichment in - Tells me what legacy CRM they're using → Job postings enrichment as a GTM/SDR hiring signal - An expansion signal to consider → Parallel branching + Merge node in n8n - Helps keep the workflow clean and minimal → LLM output sanitisation before JSON embedding - Tinkering with code to separate fields intended for different endpoints The SDR gets this in Slack: Company name → Competitor detected → Score → Decision maker → AI-written opener.
