Quote Request Processing
Captures Tally quote requests, logs them in Airtable, alerts the sales team on Slack, and sends a delayed client confirmation email.
What it does
Capture quote requests from Tally forms and automatically store them in Airtable while notifying your sales team on Slack. Send a personalized confirmation email to the client after a brief delay, ensuring no lead falls through the cracks without manual copy-pasting.
Step by step
- Configure the Tally webhook node to listen for form submissions and map specific field IDs to JSON keys.
- Set up the Airtable create record node with the correct base ID, table name, and column mappings from the extracted data.
- Define the Slack message payload structure including channel ID or username and the text content variables.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate a warm, professional email template that dynamically inserts the client's name and specific quote details into the Gmail node body.
- Refine the Slack notification message to highlight urgency or key deal values so the sales team can prioritize effectively.
- Draft error handling messages for the workflow that explain failures in plain language if the webhook or API calls fail.
Watch out for
Tally form structure changes will break the field mapping, so add a validation step or monitor the webhook payload schema regularly.
The five-minute delay might cause clients to feel ignored if they expect instant confirmation, so consider sending a quick 'received' acknowledgment first.
Gmail API quotas can be exceeded with high volume, implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle temporary blocks.
Airtable field types must match the incoming data exactly or the record creation will fail silently, validate all input types before insertion.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Quote Request Processing: Captures Tally quote requests, logs them in Airtable, alerts the sales team on Slack, and sends a delayed client confirmation email. ## Specification - What it does: Capture quote requests from Tally forms and automatically store them in Airtable while notifying your sales team on Slack. Send a personalized confirmation email to the client after a brief delay, ensuring no lead falls through the cracks without manual copy-pasting. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new form submission) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - Tally: Collect quote requests via webhook - n8n: Orchestrate automation workflow - Airtable: Store leads and track status - Slack: Notify sales team instantly - Gmail: Send confirmation email to client ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Tally form structure changes will break the field mapping, so add a validation step or monitor the webhook payload schema regularly. 2. The five-minute delay might cause clients to feel ignored if they expect instant confirmation, so consider sending a quick 'received' acknowledgment first. 3. Gmail API quotas can be exceeded with high volume, implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle temporary blocks. 4. Airtable field types must match the incoming data exactly or the record creation will fail silently, validate all input types before insertion. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/5458 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Forms & Surveys than Tally?
Yes. Tally is only the example forms & surveys in this recipe. The same flow works with Jotform and Typeform. Swap the forms & surveys connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
Who it's for
Built for founders and execs who need sales handled without hiring for it.
Sales teams can plug this into their own CRM and call cadence just as easily.
