How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNew pricing-related email in OutlookOutlook
  • LogicConfirm body contains pricing-request phrasing
  • ActionExtract plan, seats, timeline with OpenAIOpenAI
  • ActionUpsert quote-prep row to Postgres pipeline tablePostgreSQLPostgres
  • OutputDM rep the brief in SlackSlack

What it does

Turns a 'can you send me pricing?' email into a ready-to-action quote prep record. It reads the full thread, uses an LLM to extract what the prospect actually wants (seats, plan, timeline), writes a structured row to your pipeline database, and tells the rep to finalize.

When to use it

Ideal when pricing requests arrive with vague or buried requirements and reps spend time re-reading threads before quoting. This front-loads the context extraction so the rep starts from a structured brief instead of a wall of email.

How it works

  1. 1A pricing-intent email arrives in Outlook and triggers the flow.
  2. 2A logic filter confirms the body contains pricing-request phrasing before proceeding.
  3. 3An OpenAI step reads the thread and extracts plan, quantity, timeline, and any stated budget into structured fields.
  4. 4An action upserts a quote-prep row into the Postgres pipeline table keyed by contact email.
  5. 5A Slack DM to the rep delivers the extracted brief and a prompt to send the quote.
