Automatically set up a new client's project folder and welcome email

When a new project starts, this creates a client folder in Google Drive and emails the client their details automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Kicking off a new client project means creating a folder, organizing it, writing a welcome email, and making sure your team knows it's happening. Doing this by hand for every new client eats up time you could spend on the actual work.

Who it fits

Agencies and service businesses that onboard new client projects regularly.

How it works

  1. Starts when new project details are submitted
  2. Pulls the client name, project type, deadline, and folder details
  3. Creates a dedicated project folder in Google Drive automatically
  4. Generates a shareable link to the new folder
  5. Sends a personalized welcome email to the client with the link
What you get

Client folders and welcome emails ready on day one

When a new project starts, your client gets a personalized welcome email while their project folder gets built in Google Drive automatically.

What you get

A ready-to-use client project folder in Google Drive and a personalized welcome email sent automatically.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
