Automate new client onboarding from intake to welcome pack

New client details are validated, logged, and turned into onboarding tasks, a welcome pack, and team alerts.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Onboarding a new client means chasing the same steps every time: checking their details are correct, setting up tasks, telling the team, and sending a welcome email. Skip a step and the client's first impression suffers.

Who it fits

Agencies, consulting firms, or B2B service businesses that want a consistent, error-free onboarding process.

How it works

  1. A new client's details come in and their email is verified
  2. The client's information is logged and assigned an onboarding tier
  3. An onboarding task list is created and the internal team is notified in Slack
  4. A personalized welcome pack is generated and emailed to the client
  5. The record is archived, and a weekly onboarding summary is sent to the manager
What you get

New clients who feel welcomed from day one

Your new clients get their onboarding tasks created, a welcome pack sent, and your team notified automatically as soon as they sign up.

What you get

A logged client record, an onboarding task list, a welcome pack, and a weekly summary report.

What you need

Google Sheets, Airtable, Gmail, Slack, and Trello accounts, plus an email verification service.

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.
