The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionAttach brief as task on Attio companyAttio
  • OutputDeliver brief to owner on SlackSlack

What it does

When any upstream source (a Crunchbase alert, an enrichment vendor, a manual form) posts a funding event to a webhook, this workflow turns the raw alert into a complete pre-call brief: the company's product, the investors, likely use of funds, and three opening questions, then attaches it to an Attio task.

When to use it

Use it when funding alerts already arrive from a tool you trust and you want to skip straight to prep work rather than re-detecting the event. Good for AE teams that want a briefing in hand within minutes of a round closing.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound webhook receives the funding alert payload.
  2. 2Exa pulls supporting context: the company site, recent coverage, and investor backgrounds.
  3. 3OpenAI synthesizes a structured brief with use-of-funds hypotheses and opening questions.
  4. 4The workflow finds or creates the Attio company and attaches a task with the brief.
  5. 5Slack delivers the brief to the account owner as a threaded message.
