Client onboarding that starts itself the moment a deal closes
Marking a deal "closed" in the CRM kicks off the whole onboarding: email, form, folder, task and kick-off meeting.

The problem
After a deal closed, getting started was manual and scattered: emails, collecting details, scheduling, creating folders. It caused delays and looked unprofessional right when a first impression matters most.
What we built
- A personal welcome email explaining next steps, with a link to a details form
- A shared Google Drive folder created automatically
- A task for the project manager in the team's task system
- A link to book the kick-off meeting from real availability, and a CRM update once it's booked
The result
- The same fast, consistent onboarding for every new client
- No forgotten steps
- Admin time handed back to the team
