Next steps when a proposal is approved
A proposal approval automation covers the steps that run right after a client accepts, including a next-steps email and booking the kickoff.
Share template
A proposal gets approved, everyone feels the momentum, and then the follow-up has to happen fast or the work stalls. This proposal approval automation handles the handoff the moment the approval lands, so the client hears from you and the kickoff gets booked without anyone rebuilding the same steps.
The automation runs on one trigger, “When Proposal is approved”, and then moves through two actions in order. First, the client gets an email that explains what happens next, and then the kickoff is booked so there’s a clear start point instead of a loose thread.
- Trigger Starts when the proposal is approved, so the follow-up kicks off at the same moment the decision does.
- Email the client what happens next Sends a next-steps email using the address saved on the proposal.
- Book the kickoff Books the kickoff after the email goes out, so the handoff turns into a scheduled start.
In Plutio, the automation needs an email address on the proposal to send the message, and every step runs inside Plutio with no third-party account to connect.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
Every step, in order
Plutio runs these 2 steps top to bottom, from the trigger through each action and condition. Every one arrives configured and stays editable. The automation is added as a draft, so it sends nothing until you turn it on.
