How I Automated Client Onboarding in My Agency

The Problem

Client onboarding used to require several manual steps:

• Creating a client workspace
• Sending a welcome email
• Preparing the kickoff checklist
• Updating the CRM

Missing even one step could slow the start of the project.

The Automation

Now the entire onboarding process runs automatically.

When a deal status changes to Payment Done, the workflow triggers.

The system:

1. Finds the deal inside the CRM database
2. Creates a client workspace in Notion
3. Sends a welcome email to the client
4. Posts an internal onboarding checklist
5. Updates the deal record

Everything happens automatically in seconds.

The Result

Before:

• Manual onboarding steps
• Delays starting projects
• Risk of missing tasks

After:

• Instant onboarding
• Consistent process
• Clean client experience

Automation ensures every client starts with the same professional process.
