Event Inquiry Parsing

Event Inquiry Parsing for Hotels

Most hotels don't search for “n8n automation.” They search around the pain — slow responses, missed leads, messy RFP emails, hours spent on manual data entry. This is the workflow that fixes that.

The Problem

Inquiries don't follow templates

Event planners send inquiries in every format imaginable — paragraph emails, forwarded Cvent notifications, web form submissions, bullet-point lists. No two look the same.

That means every inquiry requires someone to manually read it, pull out the relevant details, check what's missing, and decide what to do next. For a hotel receiving dozens of inquiries a week, that's hours of repetitive work — before a single proposal is written.

Event inquiry parsing automates that first step entirely. The AI reads the raw inquiry, structures the data, and routes the next action — regardless of how the planner wrote it.

Two-paragraph email with no dates mentioned
Forwarded Cvent notification with missing F&B details
Web form submission with conflicting room counts
Phone-taken notes forwarded to the sales inbox
Reply to a previous email thread with updated requirements

The parsing workflow handles all of these — same result every time.

What Gets Extracted

Every field your sales team needs

When a planner sends an inquiry, the workflow extracts dates, room block, attendee count, meeting space needs, F&B requirements, budget, contact information, and missing details.

Event dates

Firm dates, tentative dates, or date ranges

Room block

Number of rooms, room types requested

Attendee count

Total attendees, peak night occupancy

Meeting space

Session rooms, square footage, setup style

F&B requirements

Meals, breaks, banquet minimums

Budget signal

Stated budget or implicit budget cues

Contact information

Name, company, email, phone

Special requests

AV, décor, accessibility, preferences

How Parsing Works

AI reads the raw inquiry. Your team reads the output.

The workflow handles the messy middle — between a planner hitting send and your team seeing a clean, structured summary ready for action.

01

Inquiry arrives

Email, web form, or forwarded notification hits the connected inbox or webhook.

02

AI reads the raw text

The workflow sends the raw inquiry to AI, which extracts and structures every relevant field.

03

Completeness scored

Each extracted field is checked. A completeness score determines the routing decision.

04

Routed and logged

Complete inquiries move to proposal generation. Incomplete inquiries trigger a clarification email. Everything gets logged.

What Happens Next

Two paths. Both automated.

Complete inquiry

All key fields present — dates, room count, budget, contact info. The workflow moves to proposal generation, pulling from your hotel's Brand DNA to build a polished proposal draft for your team to review and send.

→ Proposal generation

Incomplete inquiry

Missing dates, unclear room count, no budget signal. The workflow sends a professional, branded clarification email to the planner — asking exactly what's needed before the hotel invests time in a proposal.

→ Clarification email

Every inquiry — complete or not — gets logged. Full details, completeness score, routing decision, and status. Searchable pipeline. Zero manual entry.

Stop triaging inquiries manually

Let the workflow read, extract, score, and route every inquiry that hits your inbox — automatically.
