New client record creation across CRM and document storage

Purpose

1 Automate new client record creation simultaneously across customer relationship management (CRM) and document management systems, minimizing manual data entry.

2 Enable environmental consultant teams to instantly collect, store, and sync critical client data for onboarding, compliance, and project setup.

3 Automation of these workflows reduces onboarding delays, eliminates duplicate data, ensures consistency, and improves data accessibility for compliance and reporting.

4 Automatedly centralize client communication, agreements, and environmental assessments into structured repositories aligned with best practices.

Trigger Conditions

1 Automated creation of a new client record begins when a web form is submitted, an email is received, or a proposal is signed.

2 Automator can trigger when data is captured in online scheduling tools or a signed contract is uploaded.

3 Automation can be manually triggered by a team member submitting info in a project management platform.
