Questions, answered

Will it send the quote to the prospect without a rep reviewing it?

No. The quote reply is saved as a Gmail draft and the rep gets a Slack alert. Nothing reaches the prospect until they review the pricing and click Send.

How accurate is the quote it builds?

It uses your standard package pricing matched to the event type and guest count on file, so the draft reflects your real rates. The rep can still adjust it before sending.

What if an inquiry doesn't fit a standard package?

It still builds a starting estimate from the closest package and flags it in Slack so the rep knows to review the pricing more closely before sending.
