About This Automation
Enquiry qualification at architecture studios involves manually extracting project details from emails, assessing studio capacity, and scoring fit against expertise and resources. This manual process is slow, inconsistent, and delays decision-making by days.
Automation extracts structured data from incoming enquiries, evaluates feasibility against studio capacity and expertise, and produces a standardized feasibility report ready for principal architect review. Decisions move from days to minutes.
Key features:
Extract project details automatically from emails and forms into structured fields
Assess studio capacity and resource availability against project timeline
Score enquiry fit using consistent criteria for expertise and budget realism
Flag missing critical information and trigger follow-up requests
Generate standardized feasibility reports for principal architect review

1. Enquiry Receivedtrigger
Automation is triggered when an email arrives in the studio inbox or a form is submitted. The enquiry is captured with sender, subject, and body content.
2. Extract and Classify Enquiry Data
The automation reads the enquiry text and extracts project type, location, estimated budget, timeline, scope, and client contact details. Data is structured and scored for completeness.
3. Check Studio Capacity
The automation queries the project schedule to assess resource availability for the proposed timeline and flags any conflicts with existing projects.
4. Score Fit and Feasibility
The automation scores the enquiry on studio expertise match, budget feasibility, and timeline realism using consistent, predefined criteria. A feasibility score is assigned.
5. Identify Missing Information
The automation determines whether critical project details are missing and flags them for follow-up. If gaps exist, a follow-up email template is prepared.
6. Send Follow-up or Log
If information is missing, a follow-up email is sent automatically. If the brief is complete, the enquiry is logged with all extracted data and scores.
7. Notify Principal Architect
A notification is sent to the principal architect with a summary of the enquiry, feasibility score, capacity status, and a link to the full record for review and decision.
Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
The automation flags gaps in critical details and triggers an immediate follow-up request to the client. This eliminates manual review and speeds up information gathering.
