Workflow examples

See the workflow. Understand the decisions.

Explore lead handling, IT ticket triage and month-end reporting. These examples use fictional data. Each workflow has been run live with AI on that sample data, and the results are shown below. Connections to your own systems are tested before any client use.

Lead reply and qualification

Live run on sample data: an enquiry graded A with a draft reply and a sales alert; 10 leads graded, 7 of 10 matched a person, 0 errors.
Live run, 7 October 2026, on fictional sample data. Results only; how the workflow is built is not shown.
The problem

A prospect writes in after hours and hears back two days later. By then they have spoken to someone else. Sales also spends time on enquiries that were never a fit.

How it works
  1. Enquiry arrivesA web form or a shared mailbox in Microsoft 365 receives the message.
  2. AI reads the enquiryPulls out company size, need, timing and budget, and notes what is missing.
  3. Rules score the fitFixed rules turn those details into a score. The same extracted fields give the same score under the same rules. AI extraction is reviewed separately.
  4. AI drafts a replyA short, polite reply that answers the question and offers a time to talk.
  5. Reply sent, sales toldStrong leads go to sales with a three-line brief. Weak fits get a polite, different reply.

Incoming enquiry, 4:47 pm
"Hi, we are a 40-person accounting firm moving to Microsoft 365 next quarter. Can you help with the migration and ongoing support? Budget is around US$15,000. Need to start in 6 weeks."
Illustrative reply draft
"Thanks for getting in touch. A short call would help us understand the migration and support you need, confirm fit and discuss your six-week target. Please reply with a time that suits you."

1. 40-person accounting firm, Microsoft 365 migration plus support.
2. Wants to start in six weeks; indicative budget US$15,000.
3. Next step: confirm the migration scope and support requirements.
Fictional enquiry, fictional company. This score illustrates a possible rule set; it is not a live result. Fixed rules should be tested alongside the quality of the extracted fields.

IT ticket triage with weekly client report

Live run on sample data: an urgent ticket alert with a first step and a weekly client email; 20 tickets sorted, priority matched a senior technician on 20 of 20, no urgent ticket missed.
Live run, 7 October 2026, on fictional sample data. Results only; how the workflow is built is not shown.
The problem

Engineers sort the queue by hand every morning, and urgent tickets can sit unseen. On Fridays someone then spends hours writing each client's summary.

How it works
  1. Ticket arrivesAn email or portal request reaches the support mailbox.
  2. AI classifies itPicks a category and a priority, and suggests a first fix.
  3. Rules route itFixed rules decide who is alerted. P1 tickets alert the on-call engineer in Microsoft Teams.
  4. Logged and acknowledgedThe ticket is logged and the client gets a reply with a reference number.
  5. Friday: counts per clientCode totals opened, closed and open tickets for each client.
  6. AI writes the summaryA short plain-English report built only from those counts.

"Fewer tickets came in this week, and more were closed than opened, so the open queue is down by two. The closing open queue is down from seven to five."

Fictional client, fictional tickets. The counts come from the ticket system by code. The AI only writes the sentences around them.

Month-end budget vs actuals variance summary

Live run on sample data: totals calculated in code and quoted exactly by the AI; 11 of 18 lines flagged; the AI writes the commentary only.
Live run, 7 October 2026, on fictional sample data. Results only; how the workflow is built is not shown.
The problem

Each month an analyst copies the export into a spreadsheet, builds variance tables and writes a note for every budget owner. It is slow, and a mistyped number reaches senior people.

How it works
  1. Export lands in SharePointThe monthly budget and actuals file is dropped in a set folder.
  2. Code checks the fileTotals, missing rows and duplicates are checked. A bad file stops the run.
  3. Code does all the mathsVariance in dollars and percent for every cost centre, calculated exactly.
  4. AI writes the commentaryGiven the finished table, it writes a short note per budget owner. It does no maths.
  5. Review, then sendThe analyst reviews the notes before they go to budget owners.
Trigger or actionCode step (fixed rules, exact maths)AI step
Example on fictional data
Variance table, calculated by code (fictional, A$)

Marketing42,00047,300+5,300+12.6%

Operations120,000124,800+4,800+4.0%
Travel18,00011,400-6,600-36.7%

Positive variance means spending above budget. Colour is paired with the sign, so it does not rely on colour alone.

Commentary for the Marketing budget owner, illustrative draft based on the table
"Marketing spent A$5,300 more than budget this month, 12.6% over. It is the largest overspend of the four cost centres. Please confirm whether the extra spend is a timing difference or a change to plan."
Fictional figures. Code produces every number. Calculations are kept in code. AI commentary can still misquote a value, so figures and narrative must be checked before release.
