How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Sponsorship Inquiry Receivedtrigger

Inquiry arrives via email, contact form, or social channel and is captured by the automation platform.

2. Create Prospect

Automation extracts sponsor name, contact details, and inquiry source, then creates a new contact and deal record with the inquiry details.

3. Match Sponsorship Package

The automation reviews inquiry details and budget signals to recommend the appropriate sponsorship tier (Gold, Silver, Bronze) based on predefined rules.

4. Generate and Send Contract

Automation populates a contract template with sponsor name, package details, and terms, then sends it with a signature request link.

5. Create and Send Invoice

Once contract is signed, automation generates an invoice with sponsor details and package price, then sends it and logs it.

6. Monitor Payment

Automation tracks payment status integration, automatically marking invoices as paid when funds are received.

7. Send Payment Reminders

For invoices unpaid after 15 days, automation sends a reminder email. A second reminder is sent at 30 days if still unpaid.

8. Alert Team

Automation sends a daily summary to the finance team showing new inquiries, signed contracts, paid invoices, and overdue amounts.
