What it does

Monitors a shared Google Drive folder where teammates drop incoming RFP files. When a new document lands, the workflow parses out individual requirements, researches each, and assembles a structured draft response as a new Google Doc in a Drafts subfolder.

When to use it

Use it when RFPs arrive as email attachments or vendor portal downloads that someone files into Drive, and you want a ready-to-edit response draft waiting before the kickoff meeting.

How it works

  1. 1A new file appears in the watched Drive RFP-Inbox folder, firing the trigger.
  2. 2The workflow reads the file contents and splits it into discrete requirement items.
  3. 3For each requirement, Exa runs targeted research for facts and proof points.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a response paragraph per requirement and stitches them into one document with headings.
  5. 5The assembled draft is written as a new Google Doc in the Drafts folder, named to match the source RFP.
