About This Automation

Client onboarding at software agencies involves manually extracting client data, generating contracts, scheduling meetings, and setting up projects across multiple tools. This fragmented process creates delays, data errors, and bottlenecks that slow time-to-kickoff and limit team capacity.

Automation reads intake forms, generates and sends contracts for signature, assigns team members based on availability, schedules kickoff meetings, and creates project records in sequence. The result is a streamlined onboarding flow that completes in hours instead of weeks.

Monitor contract signature status and trigger follow-up actions when signed

6. Schedule Kickoff
