About This Automation

Quote and RFQ management covers everything from receiving a customer request to sending a priced, approved quote. Done by hand, it depends on manual cost lookups, spreadsheet templates, and back-and-forth approvals that slow response time and invite pricing errors.

The automated version reads incoming RFQs, calculates costs against current pricing, and routes a drafted quote for approval before sending it to the customer. Quotes go out faster, pricing stays consistent, and pending deals get followed up on without manual tracking.

Key features
Extract specifications and quantities directly from incoming RFQ messages
Pull current material and production costs to build an accurate price
Draft a priced quote using a standard costing format
Route quotes for margin approval before anything is sent
Send approved quotes to the customer and log the record automatically
Follow up on open quotes on a set schedule until closed

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Rfq Email Receivedtrigger

An incoming RFQ in the shared sales inbox starts the workflow automatically.

The automation reads the RFQ, pulls quantities, materials, and dimensions, and logs the request.

3. Pull Material Costs

Current material and production costs are pulled directly for the requested spec.

4. Calculate Priced Quote

The automation applies the costing template and margin rules to generate a price automatically.

5. Sales Manager Reviews Low-Margin Quote

Only sent when margin falls below the approval threshold, so the manager can adjust or approve directly.

6. Delivery Assembles Approved Quote

Approved pricing is packaged into the standard quote template ready to send.

7. Send Quote

The finished quote is emailed straight to the customer contact.

8. Log Quote And Schedule Follow-Up

The CRM record is updated and a follow-up reminder sequence is scheduled automatically.
