Trigger.dev Report Generator

A private automation operated by Periscope Notes.

What this application does

The Trigger.dev Report Generator turns a short intake form into a written consulting brief. Someone submits four pieces of information about a company — its name, its industry, a goal it is pursuing, and a challenge it is facing. The application writes a brief discussing those four inputs, renders it as a Microsoft Word (.docx) document, and files that document in a single folder in the operator's own Google Drive.

It runs unattended. There is no user account, no login, no dashboard, and no public interface beyond the intake form. It is used internally by its operator and is not offered as a service to the general public.

How it works

  1. An intake form collects the four fields and sends them to the application.
  2. The four fields are sent to the OpenAI API, which drafts the text of the brief.
  3. The text is rendered into a .docx document.
  4. The document is uploaded to one folder in the operator's Google Drive.

If the drafting step fails, the application still files a document containing the submitted information verbatim, so that a submission is never lost.

Use of Google Drive

The application requests a single, narrow Google permission: drive.file. This grants access only to files the application itself creates. It cannot see, read, open, or modify any other file in the connected Google Drive account. It is used for one purpose: creating the generated brief and placing it in the folder the application created for that purpose.
