Answer HR policy and benefits questions with BambooHR, OpenAI and Supabase
Quick Overview This workflow ingests company policy PDFs from BambooHR into a Supabase vector database and provides an employee chat interface that answers policy and benefits questions using OpenAI, with an additional employee/department lookup powered by BambooHR employee data. How it works Starts a manual run to fetch files from BambooHR and keep only PDFs in the “Company Files” category. Downloads each selected PDF, splits it into chunks, generates OpenAI embeddings, and inserts the content into a Supabase vector table for retrieval. Exposes a chat trigger where employees submit questions to an HR assistant. Uses OpenAI with conversation memory and retrieves relevant policy content from the Supabase vector store to ground responses. When a question requires a contact person, looks up employee details in BambooHR by exact name or finds the most senior person in a requested department using an OpenAI-assisted department extraction and ranking step. Returns the final answer to the chat, including policy-based guidance and any retrieved employee contact details.

Handle WhatsApp sales inquiries with OpenAI, Pinecone, Google Calendar, and Slack
Quick overview This workflow handles inbound WhatsApp Business messages with an OpenAI-powered sales agent that uses Pinecone RAG for product answers and Google Calendar tools for scheduling, then either replies on WhatsApp or hands the conversation to Slack, with Slack-based error alerts. How it works Triggers on every inbound WhatsApp Business message and checks whether the payload contains a text body. Drops non-text messages (such as images or voice notes) and continues only with text conversations. Uses an OpenAI chat model with per-customer session memory to generate a concise sales reply and decide whether a human handoff is needed. Lets the agent query a Pinecone-backed product catalog via OpenAI embeddings to answer pricing, specs, and availability questions. Lets the agent check availability and book appointments in Google Calendar when the customer requests scheduling. Parses the agent’s HANDOFF flag and either posts the customer message plus draft reply to a Slack channel or sends the reply back to the customer on WhatsApp. Sends a Slack alert to an ops channel if any step in the workflow fails.
