Question 1

What manual work can be automated when using Offri?

Accepted Answer

You can automate the process of generating and sending proposals by triggering Offri to create documents from data in your CRM, database, or other business tools. For example, when a new opportunity or contact record is created elsewhere in your stack, an automation can instruct Offri to build a formatted proposal and deliver it via email or store it in cloud storage. This eliminates the repetitive work of manually building proposals from scratch or copying data between systems.

Question 2

How does data move between Offri and other business tools?

Accepted Answer

Data flows into Offri through API connections or automation integrations that pull contact details, project information, and other record data from your CRM or database. Once Offri generates a proposal, the resulting document can be sent to external systems like email services, document storage platforms, or shared back to your CRM as an attachment. The direction and timing depend on how you configure the automation workflow.

Question 3

What causes problems when automating Offri proposal generation?

Accepted Answer

Common issues include mismatched field names or missing data when pulling information from your source system, resulting in incomplete or blank proposals. Template configuration errors can also cause formatting problems or missing sections in generated documents. Additionally, if your source data is inconsistent, dirty, or incomplete, Offri can only work with what it receives, so data quality upstream matters significantly for reliable automation.

Question 4

How should I organize Offri templates and data to support automation?

Accepted Answer

Create clear, reusable Offri templates that map to specific types of proposals or documents you generate regularly. Ensure your source system (CRM, database, etc.) has consistent field naming and required data fields that match what Offri templates expect. Document which fields from your source system populate which sections of each template, and validate that test data flows correctly through the automation before running it on live records.
