Create quote reply drafts from incoming RFQs for sales

Automatically parse new labeled RFQ emails across Gmail. Create and update polished RFQ response drafts when product codes and quantities extract, pricing is calculated, and the draft reply is ready—so you can review availability, pricing, and totals without manual follow-up.

How this automation accelerates RFQ reply approvals

When new labeled RFQ emails arrive, delays can slow deal cycles and strain sales review time. This automation parses item requests and quantities, queries pricing in SQL Server, and drafts an HTML reply in Gmail—so your team can review faster.
