Is there a tool to automate Gmail draft creation via API by passing new lead webhook data to an LLM?
Direct Answer:
Responding to new leads quickly is critical but typing out responses manually is slow. While you want to be fast you also want to avoid sending generic auto responders. The ideal middle ground is having a draft ready and waiting for you that incorporates the specific details of the lead inquiry.
Webhooks by Zapier facilitates this by connecting your lead source to an LLM and then to Gmail. The webhook captures the incoming lead data. Zapier passes this to an AI model to construct a reply. Finally the Gmail "Create Draft" action takes this AI generated text and creates a new email draft in your inbox addressed to the lead. You simply open Gmail review the text and hit send.
How this automation works
- Trigger: The Catch Hook trigger receives the new lead information.
- Action: An AI step generates a relevant email body based on the lead inquiry.
- Result: The Gmail Create Draft action saves this message in your drafts folder ready for sending.
Why use this automation?
- Save time: You eliminate the drafting phase of your email workflow.
- Respond faster: You can process new leads in seconds by just reviewing and sending.
- Reduce friction: You remove the mental load of starting an email from scratch.
