How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Quote Request Receivedtrigger

A quote request arrives via email, form submission, or CRM trigger. The automation captures the customer name, product list, and any custom terms.

2. Fetch Pricing and Terms

The automation looks up product pricing, applicable discounts, and standard terms from the pricing database or, then compiles them into a structured quote object.

3. Generate Quote Document

The automation uses a template engine to create a professional PDF quote with customer details, line items, pricing, terms, and an expiry date.

4. Route for Approval

The automation sends the quote to the designated approver via email with a direct approval link and a 24-hour deadline reminder.

5. Create Order on Approval

Once the approver clicks the approval link, the automation creates an order record with all quote line items, pricing, and customer details pre-filled.

6. Send Quote to Customer

The automation sends the approved quote to the customer with a link to sign and return it electronically.

7. Notify Fulfillment

Once the customer signs and returns the quote, the automation sends an order notification to the fulfillment team and updates the order status.
