How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Enquiry received via email or formtrigger

Customer submits a travel enquiry, web form, or phone message. The automation is triggered and the enquiry details are captured.

2. Extract enquiry data and classify destination

The automation reads the enquiry, extracts customer name, contact details, travel dates, destination, and party size. The destination is classified to match a pre-built itinerary template.

3. Retrieve template itinerary and pricing

The automation looks up the destination library of pre-built itineraries and supplier rates. Base pricing is retrieved and a margin is applied.

4. Personalise itinerary with customer details

The automation customises the template itinerary with the customer's travel dates, party size, and any special requests noted in the enquiry.

5. Generate and format quote document

The personalised itinerary and pricing are formatted into a professional quote PDF using a standard template, including terms and payment instructions.

6. Send quote via email

The quote PDF is sent to the customer with a personalised greeting and call-to-action.

7. Log quote and set follow-up

Quote details are logged as a deal record, and an automated follow-up task is created for the sales in 3 days. A notification alerts the team.
