About This Automation

Proposal and engagement letter generation is a manual, time-intensive process where staff hunt for templates, re-enter client data from email, verify rates across multiple documents, and track signatures manually. This creates delays, inconsistencies, and bottlenecks that slow client onboarding.

Automation generates fully customized proposals in minutes by pulling client and rate data directly from the CRM, routes them for partner review, and automatically tracks signature status with client reminders. The team completes engagements faster and with fewer errors.

Key features:

Automatically select and populate the correct proposal template based on service type and client details

Pull client information, rates, and service descriptions directly from the CRM and rate schedule

Route customized proposals to partners for review with built-in approval workflows

Send proposals for signature and monitor completion status without manual checking

Trigger automatic reminders to clients who have not signed within 48 hours

Log signed documents and update CRM opportunity status automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Opportunity Createdtrigger

Automation is triggered when a new opportunity record is created with required client details (name, contact, service type).

2. Extract Client Data

The automation retrieves client name, contact email, address, and service type opportunity record.

3. Proposal Generates Document

The automation selects the appropriate proposal template based on service type, populates all client details and current rates, and generates a customized proposal.

4. Route to Partner for Review

The automation sends the draft proposal to the assigned partner via email with a link to review and approve. The partner can comment or request changes.

5. Convert to PDF and Upload

Once approved, the automation exports the final proposal to PDF and uploads it with signature fields pre-configured.

6. Send Envelope to Client

The automation sends the envelope to the client's email address with a request to sign. Signature reminders are scheduled automatically.

7. Log Signed Document and Update CRM

Once the client signs, the automation downloads the signed proposal, stores it in the designated folder, and updates the opportunity status to 'Engagement Letter Signed'.
