    Configure Thresholds

    Set savings amount thresholds for high/medium/low value segments in the workflow's IF nodes. For example: High Value: $1000+, Medium Value: $500-$999, Low Value: <$500. Adjust these based on your product pricing and customer value.

    Connect Your Calculator

    Copy the webhook URL from the Webhook node (looks like https://your-n8n.com/webhook/calculator). Add this URL to your calculator's JavaScript as the POST endpoint. Make sure to send fields: email, currentCost, estimatedSavings.

    Set Up Email Templates

    Create three SendGrid dynamic templates (one for each segment: high/medium/low value). Update the SendGrid nodes with your template IDs. Customize the template content based on the savings tier - higher savings should get more personalized attention.
