Mailhook and Slack: Supplier RFQ Email Triage Template
When a request-for-quote lands in your inbox, this Spojit template summarizes the requested items and posts a triage card to your sourcing Slack channel.
What It Builds
A Mailhook trigger gives the workflow its own dedicated email address, so any RFQ forwarded there starts a run. A Connector node in Agent mode reads the message and pulls out the supplier, the requested parts, quantities, and any deadline. A second Slack Connector node then posts a tidy triage card to your sourcing channel so the team can claim it and respond.
The Prompt
Paste this into Miraxa and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:
Build a workflow with a Mailhook trigger so suppliers can email requests for quote to a dedicated address. When an email arrives, use an AI step to summarize the requested items, quantities, supplier name, and any due date, then post a triage card to the #sourcing Slack channel with that summary and the original subject line.Connectors Used
- Mailhook - the trigger; provides the dedicated inbound email address that starts each run.
- Slack - posts the triage card to your sourcing channel.
Customize It
Swap #sourcing for your own channel, and tweak the summary fields named in the prompt (for example add target lead time, incoterms, or a unit-price ask). You can also tell Miraxa to route urgent or high-value RFQs to a different channel.
Tips
- The Slack connection needs permission to post in the target channel; invite the Spojit app first.
- Agent mode handles varied RFQ wording; add a Response Schema if you want strict JSON fields downstream.
- If RFQ specs arrive as PDF attachments, add an Attachment node to pull the file contents into the summary.
