Automatically scan incoming emails for sales opportunities, create CRM tasks with AI-generated action items, and notify relevant team members.

Workflow Steps

1

Microsoft Outlook

Filter and categorize incoming emails

Set up Outlook rules to automatically flag emails containing sales-related keywords, customer inquiries, or messages from specific domains. Route these emails to a dedicated folder for processing.

2

Microsoft Copilot

Extract lead information and next actions

Use Copilot to analyze flagged emails and extract key details: sender company, contact information, inquiry type, budget indicators, and timeline. Have Copilot generate specific follow-up actions and priority scores based on the email content.

3

HubSpot

Create CRM contact and tasks automatically

Use Power Automate to push the Copilot-extracted information into HubSpot. Create new contacts if they don't exist, log the email interaction, and generate tasks with Copilot's suggested next actions. Set task due dates based on inquiry urgency.

4

Microsoft Teams

Notify assigned sales reps

Send automated Teams messages to the appropriate sales rep based on territory or lead scoring. Include a summary of the opportunity, suggested next steps from Copilot, and direct links to the HubSpot record for immediate action.
