A customer fills your form. AI drafts the quote in your Gmail. You just check it and hit send.

The quote that writes itself

A customer asks. A ready quote waits in your Gmail.

Every quote request is the same 15 minutes: read it, look up prices, type a reply, try to remember to follow up. Hand it to an automation. It watches your form, AI writes the quote from your price list, and it sits in your Gmail drafts for a quick look.

The tool: Zapier

How to do it today

4 steps, about 20 minutes

1

Make a simple Google Form

Call it “Quote request”: name, email, phone, what they need, size or quantity.

2

Tell Zapier what you want

On zapier.com, sign up, click Create → Zap, and type into the Copilot box:

When a new response comes in my Google Form “Quote request”, use AI to write a friendly quote with my prices below, and create a Gmail draft to the customer.
Prices: [paste your price list]
3

Connect and test

Sign in to Google when it asks. Send yourself a fake request and read the draft.

4

Turn it on

Click Publish. Every new request now arrives as a ready draft.

The draft uses your own prices and your sign-off.

Start safe

Draft, don’t send. After two weeks of good drafts, let it send on its own.

Tomorrow: AI that works while you sleep: a morning summary of what needs you today.

Talk soon,

Joel
