Generate AI-curated sales quotes with OpenAI, Qdrant & CraftMyPDF PDF delivery

👀 Short Description

Turn form submissions into AI-curated quotes with SKU selection straight from Qdrant, branded PDF generation, and automatic email—now streamlined for quoting only (FAQ removed). (Improved from the previous workflow: Automated Request-to-Quote System with OpenAI, Google Sheets & CraftMyPDF Email Delivery)

🎉What’s new vs. the old version

• Products now come directly from Qdrant (no Google Sheets catalog in the loop).
• Focused quote-only flow — removed FAQ/RAG nodes for a leaner, faster pipeline.
• Agent enforces a JSON-only contract, keeping pricing/stock grounded in Qdrant payloads.
• Easier to maintain; fewer moving parts and lower token usage.

📄 What this workflow does

• Captures lead details via Form: Request a Quote.
• Searches your Qdrant collection (products) for relevant SKUs by keyword, use-case, features, and budget hints.
• An AI Agent (OpenAI) selects in-stock SKUs, respects min_qty, and returns a strict JSON quote (optional discount ≤ 10%).
• A Code step computes line totals, discount, VAT, generates a unique invoice_number (e.g., Q-YYYYMMDD-ABCDE), and validates or falls back the due_date.
• CraftMyPDF renders a branded PDF; the file is fetched and SMTP emails the quote to the customer.

👤 Who this is for

• SMBs and sales teams needing instant, accurate quotes from website forms.
• Ops teams storing product data in Qdrant and wanting AI-assisted SKU selection.
• Agencies or shops that must generate consistent, branded PDFs and send them automatically.

✅ Requirements

• Self-hosted n8n instance.
• Qdrant collection (default: products) with payload fields:
• sku, name, uom, unit_price, currency, in_stock (true/false), min_qty, handle/url, features.
• Connected credentials: OpenAI (or compatible), Qdrant API, CraftMyPDF, SMTP.
• A CraftMyPDF template aligned with the Code node output (invoice_number, items[], gross_total, etc.).

⚙️ How to set up

1. Import the workflow JSON into n8n.
2. In Qdrant Vector Store (Products), set collection=products and your Qdrant API credentials.
3. In Sales Quote Agent, keep or change the model (default gpt-4.1-mini) and the JSON-only system prompt.
4. In Create a PDF, set your CraftMyPDF templateId.
5. In Email: Send Quote, set fromEmail and SMTP credentials.
6. Submit a test form; verify: Agent JSON → PDF render → email delivery.
7. (Optional) Adjust defaults in the Code node: vat_pct (default 10), payment_terms, currency fallback, valid_days.

🔁 How it works (end-to-end)

1. Trigger → Form captures: Full Name, Email, Company, Requirements, Budget Min/Max, Need By, Notes.
2. Product Search → Agent calls PRODUCTS_QDRANT to retrieve relevant SKUs and payload fields from Qdrant.
3. Agent Quote → Selects SKUs and qty, applies pricing and ≤10% discount.
