MoltFlow Leads -- Detection & CRM Pipeline

Detect purchase-intent signals from monitored WhatsApp groups, track leads through a sales pipeline, perform bulk operations, and export for your CRM.

Real-World Scenarios

Real estate agent — "Monitor my property groups for keywords like 'looking for', '3 bedrooms', and 'budget' — anyone who matches goes straight into my lead pipeline."

Car dealership — "When a lead moves from 'contacted' to 'qualified', automatically add them to my VIP follow-up group for a test drive invite."

Insurance broker — "Export all converted leads from this quarter as a CSV so I can import them into my CRM for commission tracking."

Wedding planner — "Show me all new leads from my vendor groups that I haven't contacted yet, sorted by detection date."

When to Use

• "List leads" or "show detected leads"
• "Update lead status" or "mark lead as contacted"
• "Bulk update leads" or "change status for multiple leads"
• "Add leads to group" or "bulk add to custom group"
• "Export leads as CSV" or "download leads JSON"
• "Check lead reciprocity" or "has this lead messaged me?"
• "Filter leads by status" or "search leads"

1. MOLTFLOW_API_KEY -- Generate from the MoltFlow Dashboard under Settings > API Keys
2. At least one monitored WhatsApp group with keyword detection enabled
3. Base URL: https://apiv2.waiflow.app/api/v2

How Lead Detection Works

1. You configure group monitoring via the Groups API (see moltflow skill)
2. Set monitor_mode: "keywords" with keywords like "looking for", "price", "interested"
3. When a keyword match is detected, MoltFlow auto-creates a lead
4. Leads appear in the Leads API with status new and the triggering keyword highlighted
5. You track them through the pipeline: new -> contacted -> qualified -> converted

AI Group Intelligence (Pro+ Plans)

When AI monitoring is enabled on a group (monitor_mode: "ai_analysis"), each message is classified by an LLM using your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or Mistral). Results are available on each message and on the lead.detected webhook.

AI analysis fields — available via GET /api/v2/groups/{group_id}/messages and the MCP tool moltflow_get_group_messages:

Field	Type	Description
intent	string	buying_intent, product_inquiry, support_request, complaint, off_topic, spam_noise, unknown
lead_score	integer	1-10 (10 = highest buying signal)
confidence	float	0.0-1.0 classifier confidence
reason	string	Human-readable explanation for the classification

Webhook events for AI leads:

• lead.detected — fires immediately when a lead is created; includes ai_analysis field (may be null if AI hasn't completed yet)
• group.message.analyzed — fires after AI analysis completes (Pro/Business only); includes full ai_analysis object

Setup:

1. Go to Settings > AI Configuration and add your LLM API key
2. Set monitor_mode: "ai_analysis" on the group (via PATCH /api/v2/groups/{id} or dashboard)
3. Optionally set monitor_prompt for custom classification instructions

Leads API

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/leads	List leads (filter by status, group, search)
GET	/leads/{id}	Get lead details
PATCH	/leads/{id}/status	Update lead status (state machine validated)
GET	/leads/{id}/reciprocity	Check if lead messaged you first (anti-spam)
POST	/leads/bulk/status	Bulk update lead status
POST	/leads/bulk/add-to-group	Bulk add leads to custom group
GET	/leads/export/csv	Export as CSV (Pro+ plan, max 10,000)
GET	/leads/export/json	Export as JSON (Pro+ plan, max 10,000)

List Leads

GET /leads

Query parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
status	string	Filter by status (new, contacted, qualified, converted, lost)
source_group_id	UUID	Filter by source monitored group
search	string	Search in contact name, phone, or keyword
limit	int	Page size (default 50)
offset	int	Pagination offset

Response 200 OK:

{
  "leads": [
    {
      "id": "lead-uuid-...",
      "contact_phone": "+15550123456",
      "contact_name": "John D.",
      "lead_status": "new",
      "lead_score": 0,
      "lead_detected_at": "2026-02-12T14:30:00Z",
      "source_group": {
        "id": "group-uuid-...",
        "name": "Real Estate IL"
      },
      "trigger": {
        "matched_keyword": "interested in buying",
        "message_preview": "Hi, I'm interested in buying a 3-bedroom...",
        "monitor_mode": "keywords",
        "detected_at": "2026-02-12T14:30:00Z"
      }
    }
  ],
  "total": 47,
  "limit": 50,
  "offset": 0
}

Get Lead Details

GET /leads/{id}

Returns full lead info including group context, detection metadata, message count, and status.

Update Lead Status

PATCH /leads/{id}/status

{
  "status": "contacted"
}

State machine validation -- only valid transitions are allowed:

• new -> contacted, qualified, converted, lost
• contacted -> qualified, converted, lost
• qualified -> converted, lost
• converted -> (terminal -- no further transitions)
• lost -> new (reopen only)

Invalid transitions return 400 Bad Request.

Reciprocity Check

GET /leads/{id}/reciprocity?session_id=session-uuid

The session_id query parameter is required -- it specifies which WhatsApp session to check inbound messages from.

{
  "lead_id": "lead-uuid-...",
  "has_messaged_first": true,
  "last_inbound_at": "2026-02-12T15:00:00Z"
}

Use this before reaching out -- if the lead hasn't messaged you directly, sending a cold message may trigger WhatsApp spam detection.

Bulk Status Update

POST /leads/bulk/status

{
  "lead_ids": ["uuid1", "uuid2", "uuid3"],
  "status": "contacted"
}

Response 200 OK:

{
  "updated": 3,
  "failed": 0,
  "errors": []
}

Each lead is individually validated against the state machine. Leads with invalid transitions are reported in errors but don't block the rest.

Bulk Add to Custom Group

POST /leads/bulk/add-to-group

{
  "lead_ids": ["uuid1", "uuid2"],
  "custom_group_id": "custom-group-uuid-..."
}

Adds leads' phone numbers to the specified custom group for use with Bulk Send or Scheduled Messages.

Export Leads

GET /leads/export/csv -- Returns CSV file download GET /leads/export/json -- Returns JSON array

Both support optional filters: status, source_group_id, search. Max 10,000 rows per export.

Requires Pro plan or above.
