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.
Key features:
Extract and validate client data automatically from intake forms and call notes
Generate contracts from templates and send them via digital signature
Monitor contract signature status and trigger follow-up actions when signed
Assign project team members based on skills and availability
Schedule kickoff meetings and send calendar invitations to all stakeholders
Create project records and send onboarding materials automatically
