Why this helps
Comparing vendor proposals takes extra effort when price and terms are buried in separate responses.
- Surface stated pricing and service terms.
- Make gaps in a quote clear before comparing options.
- Retain context for a later purchasing decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Vendor quote brief.
- 3Tell Notis: When a Basin vendor quote arrives, create a Google Drive document with the vendor name, stated pricing and currency, included services, contract terms, timing, and unanswered questions; do not estimate missing costs.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real vendor quote.
Questions about this workflow
Can it rank the vendors?
It can organize details for comparison, but ranking requires decision criteria you provide.
What if currency or fees are missing?
The brief should mark those details as not provided and avoid estimating them.
