What it does

The whole workflow, at a glance.

New clients answer your intake form; AI organizes the answers into goals, budget, timeline, risks and open questions. The brief is created as a page in your Notion projects database and the team gets a Slack message with the link, so kickoff starts prepared.

Setup checklist

Before you switch it on.

The canvas highlights anything still missing, and Dry Run works before any of this is done.

  1. Send your intake form's answers to the workflow's webhook URL.
  2. Connect an AI provider in Settings → AI Providers.
  3. Create a Notion integration token, save it as a Bearer credential, share your projects database with it and replace YOUR_DATABASE_ID in “Create project in Notion”.
  4. Connect Slack and pick the connection and channel in “Tell the team”.
