🎯 What does this workflow do?

This end-to-end automation creates client-ready proposals by:

  1. Taking call transcripts via chat interface

  2. The AI analyzes the transcript to extract key details like company name, goals, budget, and requirements, then structures this data as JSON for seamless workflow integration.

  3. Generating customized documents using Google Slides template with dynamic variables, Auto populating {Company_Name}, {Budget}, etc. from extracted data.

  4. Delivering finished proposals: Sharing final document with client, and Updating CRM status automatically.

⚙️ How it works

  1. User input: Paste call transcript in chat trigger node

  2. AI analysis: OpenAI node processes text to extract structured JSON, Identifies company name, goals, budget, requirements, etc.

  3. Document copy: it copies the file from Google Drive, and name it {company name} proposal.

  4. Variables replacement: Replaces all template variables ({Company_Name}, {Budget}, etc.) with extracted data from ChatGPT.

  5. Delivery & tracking: Shares finalized proposal with client via email, an Updates Airtable "Lead Status" to "Proposal Sent".
