The Zero-Touch CRM: How to Automate Your Pipeline with Google Drive.

The Problem

Your sales reps shouldn’t be data‑entry clerks.

There is a war going on in every sales organization.

• RevOps & Management want clean data, accurate forecasts, and every field in HubSpot filled out perfectly.
• Sales Reps want to sell. They hate clicking “Edit,” scrolling through dozens of properties, and typing in data they just read off a PDF contract.

The result? The Admin Tax. Reps spend about 20 % of their week doing data entry, or worse, they skip it and your CRM becomes a graveyard of outdated information.

In most companies, when a deal is won, the rep uploads the PDF contract to the “Attachments” section in HubSpot and marks the deal as Closed‑Won.
But they often forget to:

• Update the Final Amount (it may have changed during negotiation)
• Update the Contract Start Date
• Add the Billing Contact

Finance then has to open the PDF to invoice the client, and Customer Success has to open the PDF to see when onboarding starts. The data is trapped in the file, not the system.

The Zero‑Touch Solution

By integrating Google Drive, SCANNY AI, and HubSpot, you can build a “Zero‑Touch” workflow where the act of saving the file becomes the data entry.

How It Works

1. Trigger – A sales rep drags the signed PDF contract into a shared Google Drive folder named “Closed Won Contracts.”

2. Intelligence – A workflow sends that file to the SCANNY AI API.

3. Extraction – SCANNY reads the document—not just as text, but as structured data. It extracts fields such as:

   {
     "Total_Contract_Value": "$50,000",
     "Signer_Name": "John Doe",
     "Effective_Date": "2024-02-01"
   }

4. Update – The workflow pushes this data directly into the corresponding Deal properties in HubSpot and moves the stage to Closed‑Won.

Humans make typos; a misplaced zero can throw your forecast off by $450 k. AI doesn’t get tired and extracts exactly what is on the page. By simply dropping the file into the folder, reps eliminate the most boring part of their job—a huge morale booster. Finance and Customer Success see the correct data instantly, with no more chasing reps for details.

Implementation Steps

1. Get your API key from SCANNY AI.

2. Set up a connector (e.g., Zapier, Make, or a custom script) to watch the Google Drive folder.

3. Map the SCANNY JSON output to your HubSpot Deal properties.

   Tip: Use a test run to verify that each extracted field populates the correct HubSpot field before going live.
