Turn discovery call forms into polished, personalized proposals in seconds. This workflow captures prospect information via Typeform, uses GPT-4 to write compelling proposal content, and automatically creates professional PandaDoc documents with pricing tables.
Who is this for?
Freelancers, consultants, agencies, and service businesses who want to:
- Stop spending hours writing proposals manually
- Respond to prospects faster with professional documents
- Maintain consistent proposal quality at scale
What problem does it solve?
Writing proposals is time-consuming and inconsistent. This workflow automates the entire process—from form submission to ready-to-send document—while keeping your proposals personalized and professional.
How it works
- Prospect fills out your Typeform discovery questionnaire
- Workflow validates required fields (email, company name)
- AI automatically selects the right template based on budget and project complexity
- GPT-4 writes personalized proposal content tailored to the prospect's challenges
- GPT-4 generates realistic project milestones
- PandaDoc creates a professional document with pricing table
- You receive a Slack notification with a direct link to review
Template selection logic
The workflow intelligently routes to the appropriate template:
- Quick Quote → Budget under $2,500 AND simple project
- Standard Proposal → Budget $2,500+ OR complex project
What you get
- Personalized proposal content written by GPT-4
- Challenge summary that shows you understand their pain points
- Specific benefits with metrics (time savings, cost savings)
- 4-phase project timeline with realistic milestones
- Professional PandaDoc document with pricing table
- Slack notifications for successes and errors
