What it automates
New supplier onboarding
A procurement analyst adds a new vendor row in Google Sheets and the workflow auto-generates a tailored first-price negotiation email.
Quarterly contract renewal
Existing supplier data triggers AI-crafted follow-up messages that reference prior pricing and push for better terms.
Price increase pushback
When a supplier quotes higher rates, the workflow creates a data-backed counter-offer email and logs the exchange in Notion.
