Proposal Pipeline

Six statuses. One unified hub.

Every proposal tracks through six lifecycle states from draft through acceptance or expiry. The Proposals Hub aggregates Advanced proposals, Quick Quotes, and Ops quotes into a single pipeline with dashboard and list views.

Draft

Proposals in progress. Not yet sent to any client. Resume editing or discard.

Sent

Delivered to client via email or public link. View tracking activates on first open.

Viewed

Client has opened the proposal. Section-level analytics begin recording time spent.

Accepted

Client accepted. Payment collected (if configured). E-signature triggered. Deal stage updated.

Declined

Client declined with optional reason. Sequence automation stops. Record preserved for win/loss analytics.

Expired

Validity period elapsed without response. Expiring trigger fires automation before deadline.

Merge fields: client name, property, date, custom fields

One default template per vertical for auto-selection

Automate and Analyze

Three triggers. Win/loss analytics.

Event-driven automation sequences follow up on sent, viewed, or expiring proposals. Win/loss analytics track conversion across types, verticals, and team members.

Automation Sequences

Three triggers. Four step types. Five exits.

Event-driven automation sequences follow up automatically after proposals are sent, viewed, or approaching expiry. Email, SMS, wait, and conditional branch steps. Sequences stop on acceptance, decline, expiry, manual stop, or any response.

Triggers

Proposal Sent

Sequence starts when proposal is delivered to client via email or public link.

Proposal Viewed

Fires when client opens proposal for the first time. View tracking timestamp triggers the sequence.

Proposal Expiring

Fires when proposal approaches its validity expiry date. Configurable lead time before deadline.

Step types

Email

Custom subject and body with merge fields. Client name, proposal value, expiry date, and custom field tokens.

SMS

Text message with merge fields. Short-form follow-ups for high-priority proposals.

Wait

Delay between steps. Configure hours or days. Prevents overwhelming clients with back-to-back messages.

Conditional

If/else branches based on proposal status. Route sequence differently for viewed versus unopened proposals.

Exit conditions

Accepted (client accepted the proposal)
Declined (client declined the proposal)
Expired (validity period elapsed)
Manual Stop (user manually ends the sequence)
Any Response (any client action terminates the sequence)
