How to build an AI-powered sales workflow in Layer UI

Estimated time: 30 minutes · 6 steps

Founders running their own pipeline don't have time to manually enrich leads, draft follow-ups, and write pipeline updates for investors. Layer UI's AI handles all three. This guide configures the workflow.

  1. Step 1

    Open the CRM and pick a pipeline

    From the CRM module, pick or create a pipeline (e.g., 'Q2 Outbound').

  2. Step 2

    Enable AI lead enrichment

    In CRM settings, turn on 'AI enrichment'. New contacts auto-populate company, role, and a 1-line summary.

  3. Step 3

    Set up AI follow-up drafts

    Configure 'Auto-draft' on stage transitions. When a deal moves from Lead → Qualified, AI drafts a follow-up email for review (not auto-sent).

  4. Step 4

    Connect Stripe Connect

    From CRM → Integrations, connect Stripe. Closed deals can become Stripe invoices or recurring subs in one click.

  5. Step 5

    Schedule a weekly AI pipeline summary

    Enable 'AI weekly pipeline summary' in CRM settings. Every Monday Layer UI posts a one-paragraph update to a channel of your choice — useful for investor updates and team visibility.

  6. Step 6

    Test the full loop

    Add a test contact, walk it through the pipeline, verify auto-drafts appear, and confirm the Monday summary captures it.

Outcome

Founder-led sales runs on a 3-tool replacement (Layer UI vs HubSpot + Apollo + ChatGPT) for $12/seat instead of $200+/seat — and the AI does the parts you used to skip.
