Proposal Submission:
The process starts with the Project Manager (PM) filling out a form called the Proposal JotForm whenever a new proposal is needed. This form contains crucial project details such as client information, project templates, and fee details.
Draft Creation and Approval:
Using the information from the form, we generate the initial draft of the proposal in PandaDoc. The PM reviews it thoroughly to ensure everything is accurate before sending it to the client.
Client Approval:
Upon the client’s approval and signature, the project officially begins, triggering a series of automated steps.
Project Setup:
After obtaining client agreement, we automatically create a project board using Monday CRM tailored to each project type’s template. This serves as a comprehensive to-do list, helping us stay organized throughout the project.
Tracking Time and Billing:
Simultaneously, we initiate project tracking using QuickBooks Time to monitor the time spent on each project. Additionally, we generate an invoice based on the proposal in QuickBooks to streamline billing processes.

All project-related information, including proposal details, project board updates, time tracking data, and invoicing, is seamlessly integrated into our Monday CRM. This ensures everyone involved is kept informed about project progress through notifications and updates.

CONCLUSION
Utilizing data from these forms, we automatically generate Pandadoc documents, which are then sent to the project manager for confirmation before being forwarded to the client. Upon client approval, a series of automated actions ensue.
If the project is new, we create a dedicated folder to store documents for future reference. Simultaneously, a project board is established within the designated folder using predefined templates specified in Jotform. Notifications are dispatched to the project manager and relevant team members to ensure effective coordination. Additionally, a new project is logged in QuickBooks Time, enabling employees to monitor their time expenditure efficiently.
