AI Client Onboarding Agent: Auto Welcome Email Generator
Subtitle: From Form Response to Personalized Welcome Email
🌍 Overview
This workflow automates the client onboarding process. When a new client fills in the Google Form, their data flows into Google Sheets → gets structured → an AI model (Gemini) generates a personalized onboarding email → and finally, Gmail sends it directly to the client.
Think of it as your automated client success assistant.
🟢 Section 1: Trigger – Capture New Client
🔗 Node: Google Sheets Trigger
- Watches for new rows added to the “Onboarding” Google Sheet.
- Starts the workflow whenever a new client submits the onboarding form.

📩 Example Input (from form):
- Name: Sarah Ali
- Email: sarah@startup.com
- Company: GreenTech Solutions

💡 Why useful? It makes sure the AI has all key details + a clear structure before writing the email.
🟣 Section 3: AI-Generated Email
