What it does

When an employee submits a procurement request (item, quantity, budget, needed-by date, justification), this agent reads the request, normalizes it, and drafts a complete Request for Quote. It writes the RFQ as a new row in a Coda procurement table and posts an approval prompt to the buyer's manager in Slack.

When to use it

Use it when your team files purchase requests through a form or webhook and you want every request converted into a consistent, audit-ready RFQ without a buyer hand-typing it. Ideal for ops teams standardizing intake before sourcing.

How it works

  1. 1A request payload arrives via webhook from your intake form.
  2. 2A logic step validates required fields and flags anything below the dollar threshold that can skip RFQ.
  3. 3The agent drafts the RFQ: scope, specs, quantity, delivery terms, and evaluation criteria.
  4. 4The draft is written as a structured row in the Coda procurement tracker.
  5. 5An approval message with Approve/Revise buttons is posted to the manager in Slack, linking back to the Coda row.
