"content": "## How It Works\nThe webhook receives incoming profiles and extracts relevant demographic, financial, and credential data. The workflow then queries the programs database to identify suitable options, while the AI generates personalized recommendations based on eligibility and preferences. A formal recommendation letter is created, followed by a drafted outreach email tailored to coordinators. Parsers extract structured data from the letters and emails, a Slack summary is prepared for internal visibility, and the final response is sent to the appropriate recipients."
