About This Automation

A fee proposal turns a client inquiry into a scoped document with deliverables, terms, and a calculated fee. Because it passes through several people and a spreadsheet before a document is finalized, delays and inconsistent figures are common.

The automated version reads the inquiry, drafts the scope and fee calculation, and assembles supporting files in one pass. Proposals go out faster with consistent figures and every response gets tracked without manual checking.

Key features
Extract project details from inbound inquiry emails and create a matching deal record automatically
Calculate estimated fees by phase using established rate assumptions
Draft the scope, deliverables, and terms into a formatted proposal document
Assemble portfolio samples, references, and terms into one shared folder
Route the finished draft for internal review before it reaches the client
Track client replies and update the deal record with status and next steps

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Project Inquiry Receivedtrigger

An inquiry email arrives from a prospective client requesting a fee proposal.

2. Lead Intake Logs Details

The automation parses the email for project details and logs the contact and scope notes.

3. Proposal Drafting Builds Fee Proposal

The automation estimates hours by phase, calculates the fee, drafts the proposal document, and assembles supporting files.

4. Principal Architect Reviews Fee (Exception)

When the calculated fee falls outside the studio's standard range, the principal architect reviews and adjusts it before anything goes out.

5. Send Proposal To Client

Sends the finished proposal document and attachments to the client contact.

6. Follow-up Tracking Monitors Response

The automation watches for a client reply and schedules a follow-up reminder if none arrives within the set window.

7. Update Deal Stage

The deal record updates automatically with proposal sent status, fee amount, and next follow-up date.
