About This Automation

Proposal creation requires sales reps to manually gather prospect data, look up pricing, draft documents, and chase approvals across multiple systems and email threads. This fragmented workflow introduces errors, delays approvals by hours or days, and consumes significant selling time.

Automated proposal creation pulls prospect and deal data directly from the CRM, generates complete proposals with correct pricing and legal terms, and routes them through a streamlined approval workflow.

Generate complete proposal documents with pricing, terms, and branding in seconds
Route proposals to managers for approval with one-click feedback and revision tracking
Send approved proposals directly to prospects and log the send date in your CRM
Maintain a complete audit trail of all proposal versions and approval decisions

5. Create PDF and Upload

6. Route for Manager Approval

The automation sends a notification to the assigned sales manager with a link to review and approve the proposal. The manager can approve or request changes in one step.
