What it does

Reads the total value out of an incoming contract PDF and decides where it goes. Large deals are pushed to a Slack channel for human sign-off with a tidy summary; small deals are logged in Airtable and never interrupt anyone.

When to use it

Use this when your team only needs eyes on contracts over a certain size and wants the rest to flow through untouched. Ideal for procurement or sales ops with a defined approval threshold.

How it works

  1. 1A new contract PDF arriving in Dropbox fires the trigger.
  2. 2The file is downloaded and OpenAI extracts counterparty, total value, and a one-paragraph summary of obligations.
  3. 3A logic branch compares the extracted value against the configured threshold.
  4. 4Above threshold: a Slack message posts to the approvals channel with the summary and Approve / Reject buttons mapped to the contract record.
  5. 5Below threshold: an Airtable row is created with status Auto-filed.
  6. 6Either path writes the outcome back to Airtable for an auditable trail.
