About This Automation Enquiry-to-booking management involves capturing client requests, checking availability, preparing quotes and contracts, and tracking signatures until a booking is confirmed. Manual handling across email, spreadsheets, and documents creates delays, errors, and lost enquiries.
Automation captures enquiries instantly, generates personalised quotes and contracts, sends them for e-signature, and updates booking records automatically. The result is faster turnaround, fewer errors, and more confirmed bookings.
Key features:
Capture enquiry data automatically from email or web form and create lead records Check venue availability in real time against your calendar Generate personalised quotes and contracts in minutes, not hours Send documents for e-signature and track signature status automatically Update booking records and notify operations when contracts are signed Reduce quote-to-signature time from days to hours Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process

1. Enquiry received trigger
New enquiry submitted via website form or email to the venue inbox.
2. Extract and log enquiry
Automation extracts client name, event date, guest count, and contact details from the enquiry and creates a new lead record.
3. Check venue availability
Automation queries the venue calendar to confirm the requested date is available.
4. Date available?
If the date is not available, the automation sends a rejection email and stops. If available, it proceeds to quote generation.
5. Generate and send quote
Automation generates a personalised quote PDF using client details and event specifics, then sends it with a personalised message.
6. Create and send contract
When the client approves the quote, automation generates a contract with pre-filled client and event details and sends it for e-signature.
7. Update booking and notify
Once the contract is signed, automation updates the booking status to confirmed and sends a notification to the operations team.

View Frequently asked questions Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
What happens to enquiries that arrive outside business hours? Automation captures and logs all enquiries immediately, regardless of time of day. Your team reviews and responds to them during business hours, but the data is already in your system and availability is already checked.
Can clients still ask questions about the quote before signing? What if a venue is unavailable on the requested date? Do you need to change how we store contracts? What tools do we need to set this up? View more FAQs
