Intake to signature pipeline.

  1. 1
    Intake Form Webhook
    Catches the POST from your intake form. Point Typeform, Tally, Jotform, or your web form's submit handler at the n8n webhook URL after you activate the workflow.
  2. 2
    Parse Intake Fields
    Reads client name, scope, budget, timeline, and deliverables out of the webhook body. Falls back to sample values so the workflow runs end-to-end before you hook up the real form.
  3. 3
    Generate SOW — OpenAI
    Uses gpt-4o-mini to write a structured Statement of Work in markdown: Overview, Scope of Work, Deliverables, Timeline, Investment, Out of Scope, Acceptance Criteria. Costs about $0.001 per SOW.
  4. 4
    Send to PandaDoc
    POSTs the generated body to PandaDoc with your template UUID and recipient. Same pattern works for DocuSign. swap the URL and auth header.
  5. 5
    Notify Owner — Slack
    Posts a message to the channel you choose so the owner knows a new SOW just left the building.
  6. 6
    (Optional) Log to CRM
    Add an HTTP Request node after Slack to push the deal into HubSpot or Pipedrive at the proposal-sent stage. Five minutes of work, much cleaner pipeline reports.

Vertical-specific framing

Marketing or design agency
Catches intake from your discovery form. Drafts a project SOW with specific deliverables (logo files, social templates, ad copy variants), 6-week timeline, two rounds of revisions, and a 50% deposit clause.
Accounting or law firm
Drafts an engagement letter with scope of services, fee structure, communication cadence, and termination terms. Routes to the partner for review before signature.
Software consultancy
Builds a SOW for a defined sprint or build phase: epics, acceptance criteria, hourly rate or fixed fee, and a change-order clause.
Freelancer or solo operator
One intake form, one scoped quote, one signature link, no manual proposal copy-paste. Saves 30-45 minutes per lead.

Faster turnaround → close rate lift industry data: 1-3 day reply windows convert 2-3x higher than week-long delays

Time savings based on agency benchmarks (HubSpot, ClickUp surveys). Conversion lift from speed-to-quote varies with industry and deal size.
