Give proposal PDFs a consistent finish
After you send a proposal email, use its context to request page headers or footers on the accessible proposal PDF.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Add Header Footer
Tool to add headers and footers to a pdf document. use when you need consistent page numbering, titles, or custom branding on every page.
Why this helps
Adding the same title, page number, or branding by hand to every proposal takes time and invites inconsistency.
- Apply consistent titles, page numbers, or custom branding
- Reduce repetitive document finishing work
- Tie the PDF task to the sent proposal context
