Inbound AI Lead Scoring

Goal

A new inbound lead has been added to the "Inbound" list. We want to create an automation workflow to evaluate and score the lead based on company employee count, contact's title, and the stated monthly volume from their form submission. Based on these fields, we want to automatically categorize the inbound lead priority either as High, Medium or Low.
