Context

This company (confidential, ongoing), an innovative company, specialized in AI, wanted to create a an automated revenue analysis system leveraging no-code tools and AI.The goal was to design an automated workflow where users could enter financial data via a form and receive an in-depth analysis of revenue risks, underlying causes, and AI-generated strategic recommendations. The results would be stored in Airtable and presented in an interactive dashboard..

 

Diverse team collaborating in modern office environment.

ActivDev developed aey automation steps. comprehensive blueprint for AI DANGER, utilizing Make (Integromat), GPT-4, Perplexity AI, Typeform, and Airtable.This case study outlines our approach and key automation steps.


The Challenges

Confidential SaaS faced the following challenges:

  1. Manual data collection – No structured process for gathering financial indicators.
  2. Lack of advanced AI analysis – Needed an intelligent system to identify trends and risks.
  3. No interactive dashboard – Required a visual tool for decision-making.
  4. Incomplete automation – Needed seamless integration between multiple no-code tools.

Work carried out by ActivDev

ActivDev developed aey automation steps. a complete blueprint for an automated revenue analysis system based on:

Data Collection via Typeform

An interactive Typeform was set up to collect structured data:

  • Company name, industry, revenue model
  • Sales and marketing data (CAC, ARPU, conversion rate, churn rate, etc.)
  • Business challenges (low traffic, pricing issues, customer acquisition, etc.)
  • Contact details and report preferences

Automation with Make.com and AI Analysis

Once the form is submitted, Make triggers an automation sequence:

  1. Data processing and storage – Structuring and storing data in Airtable (Raw Data Table).
  2. AI analysis with GPT-4 – Sending data to OpenAI's API to:
    • Identify major financial risks
    • Analyze root causes (internal & external factors)
    • Generate three strategic action steps
  3. Real-time market insights with Perplexity AI
    • Research industry trends and competitor benchmarks
    • Analyze common challenges for similar businesses
  4. Merging AI results – GPT-4 integrates Perplexity AI insights for a hybrid analysis.
  5. Risk scoring system – Automatically categorizing businesses as High, Medium, or Low Risk.

Visualization with Airtable Interface Designer

To facilitate result interpretation, an Airtable dashboard was proposed:

  • Revenue trends – Graphs comparing historical and projected revenue.
  • Risk indicators – Color-coded danger levels (High, Medium, Low).
  • Cause analysis – AI explanation of negative trends.
  • Strategic recommendations – Corrective actions suggested by GPT-4.
  • Automated PDF report generation (optional).

Slack Alerts for High-Risk Cases

For optimal responsiveness, a Slack Webhook was added to:

  • Send real-time alerts for high-risk cases.
  • Share a link to the dashboard and PDF report.

Automated PDF Report Generation

A detailed analysis report was designed using DocuPilot:

  • Structured report with AI recommendations.
  • Download link sent via Slack and email.
  • Automatic archiving in Google Drive.

Results and Impact

  • 70% reduction in revenue analysis time.
  • Actionable AI insights – GPT-4 provided tailored risk assessments.
  • Real-time market data – Perplexity AI ensured up-to-date and relevant insights.
  • Automated reporting – No manual processing required.
  • Dynamic dashboard – Instant visualization of AI-generated results.

Why This Approach Revolutionizes No-Code Automation

This case study highlights the power of no-code and AI for optimized decision-making:

  • GPT-4 for strategic intelligence
  • Perplexity AI for real-time market tracking
  • Make.com for workflow automation
  • Airtable for interactive and customized reporting
