How to: Send your lead a custom proposal using a manual trigger

Has your lead entered the proposal stage? Do you need to send a customizable proposal template? Stop jumping back and forth from one app to another and create a manual trigger to send a template proposal for you. By automating part of the process, you can enhance your sales team efficiency.

What is a manual trigger?

A manual trigger allows you to manually trigger the workflow/task you want Zapier to execute in the same or another app directly from your lead’s Actions menu.

With our Zapier connection to PandaDoc, you can:

Manually select which lead you want to send a proposal to and hit the send button from noCRM; Ensure your proposal includes all the custom variables of your lead including their full name, company name, amount proposed, and any other information you need to plug in; Automatically attach your sent proposal to the lead; Log the activity automatically on the lead.

Find out more about what you can do with the lead Actions menu here.

All you need to set it up are PandaDoc, noCRM.io, and Zapier accounts.
