Description

Overview

Stop spending hours formatting proposals. This workflow turns a short post-call form into a high-converting, fully-personalized PandaDoc proposal—plus updates your CRM and drafts the follow-up email for you.

After a sales call, just fill out a 3-minute form summarizing key pain points, solutions pitched, and the price. The workflow uses AI to generate polished proposal copy, then builds a PandaDoc draft using dynamic data mapped into the JSON body (which you can fully customize per business). It also updates the lead record in ClickUp with the proposal link, company name, and quote—then creates an email draft in Gmail, ready to send.

Who’s it for

• Freelancers and consultants sending service proposals
• Agencies closing deals over sales calls
• Sales reps who want to automate proposal follow-up
• Teams using ClickUp as their lightweight CRM

How it works

• After a call, fill out a short form with client details, pitch notes, and price
• AI generates professional proposal copy based on form input
• Proposal is formatted and sent to PandaDoc via HTTP request
• ClickUp lead is updated with:
  • Company Name
  • Proposal URL
  • Quote/price
• A Gmail draft is created using the proposal link and a thank-you message

Example use case

> You hop off a call, fill out:
> - Prospect: Shopify agency
> - Pain: No lead gen system
> - Solution: Automated cold outreach
> - Price: $2,500/month
>
> 3 minutes later: PandaDoc proposal is ready, CRM is updated, and your email draft is waiting to be sent.
