What It Does

This workflow fully automates the end-to-end process of handling RFP (Request for Proposal) documents. When a new file is uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder, the workflow immediately triggers and downloads the document. It then extracts text from the file and prepares structured metadata such as file name, URL and timestamp.

Using Groq-powered AI (LLaMA 3), the workflow analyzes the document and converts unstructured RFP content into structured JSON data. This includes critical fields like client name, project scope, deadlines, budget, technical requirements and evaluation criteria. The workflow ensures that even imperfect AI outputs are safely parsed and normalized.

Next, the workflow enhances proposal quality by referencing past proposals stored in a separate knowledge base folder. It then generates a complete, professional proposal draft tailored to the extracted requirements. Finally, it stores outputs in Google Docs and Salesforce, assigns a review task and notifies the team via Slack—ensuring no RFP is missed and every response is standardized.
