About This Automation

New client onboarding handoff is the process of moving a closed deal from sales to the team responsible for delivery. Handled manually, it requires gathering scattered contract details, coordinating across departments, and chasing schedules, which delays the client's first experience.

An automated handoff triggers the moment a deal closes, compiling client details, generating folders and welcome communications, and coordinating kickoff scheduling without manual follow-up. The result is a faster, more consistent start to every client relationship.

Key features
Detects newly closed deals automatically and triggers the handoff sequence
Compiles contract terms, contacts, and requirements into a single client record
Builds a shared client folder populated with contract and onboarding documents
Drafts a personalized welcome email ready for review
Coordinates kickoff scheduling by offering the client available times directly
Updates the CRM record and notifies the account owner automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Deal Marked Closed-Wontrigger

A deal stage change to closed-won starts the onboarding handoff automatically.

2. Pull Client Details

The automation platform retrieves contract terms, contacts, and deal notes directly from the CRM record.

3. Create Client Folder

A folder pre-loaded with contract and invoice templates is generated for the new client instantly.

4. Onboarding Assistant Drafts Welcome Materials

The automation writes a personalized welcome email and prepares a kickoff scheduling link for the client.

5. Sales Rep Fills Missing Details

If required fields are incomplete, the workflow routes the deal back to the sales rep before proceeding further.

6. Send Invoice

Once client details are confirmed complete, an invoice is generated and emailed to the client automatically.

7. Send Kickoff Confirmation

After the client picks a time slot, a confirmation email with call details goes out without manual input.

8. Notify Onboarding Team

The CRM status updates to Onboarding In Progress and the onboarding channel gets an alert with the folder link.
