Classify Salesforce deal complexity and notify sales with Groq and Slack

Description

Quick overview
This workflow monitors new Salesforce opportunities, enriches them with related contacts and products, uses Groq-hosted LLM analysis to classify deal complexity, then updates Salesforce with a processed flag, creates a follow-up task, and posts the outcome to a Slack channel.

How it works
Triggers when a new Opportunity is created in Salesforce.
Retrieves Opportunity details and checks whether the opportunity has already been marked as processed.
If it is already processed, posts a “no new opportunities” message to a Slack channel.
If it is unprocessed, fetches related Salesforce Contacts for the Opportunity’s Account and OpportunityLineItem records for the Opportunity.
Calculates simple deal metrics (stakeholder count, product count, and total product value) and sends them with Opportunity fields to a Groq LLM to classify complexity as Low/Medium/High with reasons and suggested actions.
Parses the LLM’s JSON response, marks the Opportunity as Processed__c = true in Salesforce, creates a Salesforce Task containing the classification details, and sends a success notification to Slack.

Setup
Add Salesforce OAuth2 credentials and ensure your Opportunity object includes the Customization__c and Processed__c fields used by the workflow.
Update the Salesforce query filters (for example, the OwnerId condition and any field list) so the workflow selects the opportunities you actually want to process.
Add a Groq API credential and verify the selected model is available in your Groq account.
Add Slack OAuth2 credentials and select the target Slack channel for both the success and “no data” notifications.
Confirm your Salesforce org allows creating Tasks and that the Task “WhatId” can reference Opportunities in your setup.
