About This Automation

Proposal and engagement letter creation is a manual, multi-step process that consumes significant sales time. Data scattered across systems, template selection errors, and approval delays create bottlenecks that slow client onboarding.

Automation retrieves client data from the CRM, selects the correct template based on project type, merges details with consistent formatting, routes for approval, and tracks signatures. Proposals move from request to signature in hours instead of days.

Key features
Automatically gather client and project data from your CRM and validate completeness
Select and customize the correct proposal template based on service line and project type
Route completed proposals to the right approver with real-time notifications
Merge client details with consistent formatting and branding applied throughout
Track signature status and send follow-up reminders when needed
File signed documents and update your CRM with a single link

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Proposal Request Receivedtrigger

A new opportunity is marked ready for proposal or a sales team member triggers the workflow manually. The system captures the client ID and project details from the CRM record.

2. Fetch Client and Project Data

The automation retrieves the client name, contact email, company, project scope, budget, and timeline. All required fields are populated in a single API call.

3. Select and Populate Template

The automation selects the correct proposal template based on project type and service line. Client data is merged into the template using mail-merge logic, generating a customized Google Docs or PDF document.

4. Route for Internal Approval

The completed document is sent to the assigned partner or manager with a direct link and a 24-hour approval deadline. The approver can comment or request changes in the document.

5. Approval Received?

The system checks for approval feedback. If approved, the workflow continues. If rejected or no response within 24 hours, a reminder is sent.

6. Prepare and Upload

The approved document is exported as PDF and uploaded. Signature fields are added automatically and the client email is populated.

7. Send and Notify Client

Sends the proposal to the client with a professional cover email. A notification alerts the sales rep that the document has been sent.

8. File and Update CRM

Once signed, the document is automatically saved in the correct folder structure and the signed PDF link is added deal record. A completion notification is sent to the sales team.
