Description

How It Works
This workflow automates end-to-end contract and invoice management using AI intelligence. It processes proposals through intelligent contract generation, approval workflows, and automated invoicing. OpenAI analyzes proposal content while the system routes approvals intelligently. Upon approval, contracts are generated, invoices created, and notifications sent. The workflow also monitors payment status, generates financial forecasts, and manages follow-up tasks, eliminating manual contract generation delays and approval bottlenecks while ensuring accurate financial record-keeping.

Setup Steps
Configure OpenAI API credentials in n8n credentials manager.
Connect Google Sheets account for invoice and forecast storage.
