- What they did
- The post is from an ops assistant at a small ecommerce brand who was still doing supplier email triage manually and asked how to automate pulling MOQ, shipping fee, and lead time. In the comments, one person described a no-code Zapier flow where each new supplier email triggers AI extraction of those fields into Google Sheets, while another suggested using ChatGPT or Claude separately to draft follow-up replies rather than fully automating the back-and-forth.
- How it went
- The source does not report a finished rollout or any measured results; it is mainly advice on how to set up the workflow. The only concrete outcome mentioned is the claim that this could cut time significantly, with the harder part being full automation of supplier vetting.
- Worth knowing
- The most actionable catch from the thread is to start with the Zapier-to-Sheets extraction only, then add reply drafting later instead of trying to automate everything at once.
Try it yourself with Zapier Agents
Create an agent that triggers when a new email arrives from [supplier addresses or Gmail label]. Have it pull out [order number, items, quantities, prices, delivery date] and add a row to my Google Sheet [sheet name]. Test it with [number] recent emails and show me the rows before turning it on; if a field is missing, leave it blank and mark the row for review.
