Create employment reference letters and send to consultant

Automatically detect new reference requests across Airtable, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Drive, Google Docs, and Gmail. Create and update reviewer-ready reference letters when submissions arrive or documents are generated or emails are sentβ€”so you can speed approvals, reduce revisions, and keep records tidy without manual paperwork.

How this automation accelerates consultant review of reference letters

When new reference requests land unprocessed, delays can slow approvals and increase revision cycles. This automation generates letter content, creates the document in the right folder, and sends it to the consultant with an attachmentβ€”so your team keeps work moving.
