About This Automation

Customer onboarding at SaaS companies involves coordinating multiple manual handoffs between sales, implementation, and support teams. The process is error-prone and time-consuming, with bottlenecks in project creation, email drafting, and task assignment that delay customer implementation.

Automation detects signed contracts, creates implementation projects, drafts and sends welcome emails, and notifies teams instantly. The result is faster customer time-to-value and freed coordinator capacity for exception handling and relationship building.

Key features
Detect signed contracts and extract customer details automatically from your CRM
Create implementation projects with templated structure and customer-specific information
Generate and send personalized welcome emails based on plan tier and industry
Notify implementation teams and assign tasks with dependencies in real time
Log customer details to reporting spreadsheets without manual entry
Update CRM status and schedule follow-up check-ins automatically

How The Automation Works

1. Contract signedtrigger

Automation detects when a new customer contract is marked active and pulls customer name, contact email, plan tier, and implementation lead assignment.

2. Create project

Automation creates a new project using a predefined template, populates customer name and start date, and links it.

3. Populate project tasks

Automation copies standard onboarding tasks project, sets due dates based on the customer's start date, and assigns them to the implementation lead.

4. Send welcome email

Automation sends a templated welcome email to the customer contact, customized with their name, plan tier, and implementation lead contact details.

5. Notify team

Automation posts a message to the implementation team channel with customer name, project link, and start date.

6. Log to tracking sheet

Automation appends a row to the Google Sheet with customer name, contract value, start date, and implementation lead.
