4.1: Workflow A: New Deal Onboarding

The "Big Bang" Moment.

This workflow is the entry point for every dollar of revenue. It triggers when an agent forwards a signed Purchase Agreement (RPA) to tc@dealtrail.com.

Our goal: Go from "PDF in Email" to "Fully Setup Deal" in under 60 seconds without human intervention.


1. The Trigger

  • Source: AgentMail Webhook (message.created).

  • Filter: Subject contains "New Deal" OR "Escrow" OR "RPA".

  • Condition: Attachment must be present (PDF).

    • If not present, Amy emails back and says she cant open the file until she receives RPA

2. The Extraction (OpenAI)

We don't ask the agent to type the price. We ask the AI to read the contract.

n8n Node: AI Agent (OpenAI GPT-4o) Input: The raw text of the PDF attachment. Prompt:

"Extract the following keys from this California Residential Purchase Agreement:

  • property_address (Full address)

  • buyer_name

  • seller_name

  • purchase_price (Number)

  • acceptance_date (Date)

  • closing_date (Date)

  • escrow_number (If present)"

Output: JSON Object.

3. The Execution Steps

Once we have the JSON data, n8n executes these three parallel actions:

Action A: Create the Brain (Supabase)

  • Query: INSERT INTO deals (agent_id, property_address, status, key_dates)

  • Result: The deal now has a UUID (e.g., deal_123).

Action B: Create the Filing Cabinet (DocuSign Rooms)

  • API Call: POST /rooms (DocuSign API)

  • Payload: Name the room [Address] - [Client Name].

  • Action: Upload the original RPA PDF into the "Contracts" folder.

  • Result: We get a room_id. We save this to Supabase.

Action C: The "Welcome" Email

  • To: The Agent.

  • From: Amy (tc@dealtrail.com).

  • Body:

    "I've received the contract for 123 Maple Ave. Summary:

    • Price: $1.2M

    • Closing: Nov 25

    • Timeline: I've added the Contingency Dates to your calendar.

    I have opened the DocuSign Room and filed the contract. I am now drafting the intro email to the Lender and Title officer.

    Let me know if you have any further questions or requests.

Developer Implementation Notes 📝

  • Confidence Check: If OpenAI returns a "Low Confidence" score (e.g., it can't find the date), do not create the deal. Instead, trigger the Ambiguity Protocol (Article 3.3) and email the agent: "I got the file, but I couldn't read the closing date. Can you reply with the date?"

  • Idempotency: Agents often email the same thread twice. Ensure your Supabase insert has ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING based on the property_address + agent_id unique constraint so we don't create duplicate deals.
