  • Manual trigger → generate lead summary
  • Workflow event → send webhook to external automation tools

  • React-based WordPress admin dashboard
  • AI workflow builder
  • WordPress REST API routes
  • AI assistant preview panel
  • OpenAI-compatible API settings
  • Activity logs
  • Manual workflow runner
  • WordPress post-published trigger
