🎯 Purpose: From Manual Chaos to Instant Confirmation
The BeerCraft team wanted to eliminate the manual steps of confirming exhibitor booths and sending invoices.
This n8n-powered workflow automatically extracts exhibitor data from Google Sheets, generates VAT-accurate invoices via PDFMonkey, and emails personalized confirmations in English, German, or Italian — all logged for full transparency.
