Client
Use Automations and Mirrors to automatically create and assign new tasks the second you need to onboard a new client. Combined with board templates, you’ll also be able to save even more time creating the same types of tasks over and over again.
How to client onboarding
In this example, we’re using a Sales board to manage our Client Deals, and when they close, we’ve got a Client Operations board for the Client Success team to manage.
On The Sales Board
Start the Onboarding Process When a Deal Closes
Trigger
In this workflow, tasks represent client deals. When any client deal in the Deal Flow moves to “Closed Won”, set the value of the “Ready for onboarding?” Custom field
Action
Set the value of the “Ready for onboarding?” Custom field to 'Yes'.
Action
Under actions, on the Client Operations board, create a task in the 'To Onboard' list. This enables us to automatically assign the new client to the Client Success team.
On The Client Operations Board
Create onboarding tasks for the Client Success team
Trigger
Next, we’ll automate the onboarding process for the Client Success Team. Set the trigger to when a task enters the “To onboard” column on the Client Operations board.
Action
For actions, assign the task to [ Client Success Member ].
Action
Notify [ Client Success Member ] via Slack in the #client-success channel.
Action
Set the due date of the task to 2 weeks from today.
Action
Create the following sub tasks:
- Assign following onboarding tasks to team members
- Send confirmation email with next steps to client
- Create a folder in Google Drive for new client
- Create weekly check-in document for new client
- Add in signed contract to folder in GD
- Schedule internal kick-off meeting
- Schedule onboarding meeting with new client
- Share Google Drive with new client
- Send onboarding email to client; link to relevant docs
- Schedule weekly check-ins with new client
On The Client Operations Board
Automate managing your boards and tasks
Trigger
You can use automation to keep the board as organized and clean as possible! For example, moving tasks to the “Done” list when all of its sub tasks are marked complete. Under triggers, choose “Marked sub tasks complete”.
Action
Mark the parent task complete.
Action
Move the task to “Done”. This helps you save time updating the board and manually moving individual tasks.
Action
Then, create a new task on the “Sales Board” for a “Post onboarding follow-up”.
Action
Notify the account representative via Slack in the #sales channel. Not only does this automation help you keep the board clean, but also gives other team members a heads up!
