About This Automation

Proposal and SOW creation requires sales reps to manually extract deal details from the CRM, type information into multiple templates, and duplicate effort across two separate documents. This repetitive work introduces errors, inconsistencies, and delays in getting documents to clients.

Automation pulls deal data directly from the CRM and populates both proposal and SOW templates with consistent formatting and branding in minutes. Documents are ready for review and delivery almost immediately after a deal closes.

Key features
Extract deal details automatically from CRM records without manual data entry
Populate proposal and SOW templates with consistent formatting and branding
Generate both documents simultaneously to eliminate duplication
Validate that all required fields are present before document creation
Export documents as PDFs ready for client delivery

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Deal Closed Wontrigger

Automation is triggered when a deal status changes to 'Closed Won'. The deal ID, client name, project scope, pricing, and timeline are passed to the workflow.

2. Extract Deal Data

The automation reads the deal record and extracts all relevant fields: client name, contact email, project description, deliverables, timeline, agreed fee, and payment terms.

3. Generate Proposal Document

The automation uses a template engine to populate a proposal template with the extracted data, applying correct formatting, branding, and legal language. The document is created.

4. Generate SOW Document

A second template is populated with the same client and project data, plus detailed deliverables and milestones. The SOW is created.

5. Review Required?

A decision node checks whether the deal value exceeds a threshold (e.g., $50,000). High-value deals route to a manual review step; standard deals proceed to export.

6. Export as PDF

Both documents are exported as branded PDFs and stored in a shared folder. File names include client name and date for easy identification.

7. Send

An automated email is composed with a professional greeting, both PDFs attached, and a call-to-action. The email is sent to the client contact and logged.

8. Log

The automation updates the deal record with links to the proposal and SOW documents, marks the documents as sent, and logs the timestamp for audit purposes.
