Agency workflow guide

How the workflow moves from lead intake to completed project.

This guide explains the default operating flow for service businesses, from quote submission and manager review to payment clearance, project assignment, and completion.

The workflow starts with a public agency quote page.

Managers control review, onboarding, payment, and assignment.

Team members work from assigned delivery views.

Clients follow timeline progress, payment requests, and chat.

Some capabilities in this workflow depend on the agency subscription plan, especially custom quote fields and services, PayPal or manual payment requests, billing history, project chat, and shared credentials.

Step 01
Lead intake

A prospect submits the agency quote form.

Each agency has its own public quote page. Once a prospect submits the form, the system creates the lead, primary contact, quote record, and onboarding checklist in the same flow.

Lead intake stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Dedicated public quote page per agency
  • Lead, client contact, and quote record created together
  • Quote enters the manager review pipeline immediately
Step 02
Quote review

A manager reviews the request and decides what is still needed.

Managers move the quote through the pipeline, review scope, budget, and launch timing, and decide whether the request needs follow-up, onboarding, payment, or approval.

Quote review stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Pipeline statuses keep review work visible
  • Quote overview keeps services, budget, and notes together
  • Approval and conversion stay inside the manager workflow
Step 03
Onboarding checklist

The agency verifies requirements before delivery begins.

Before work is assigned, the manager checks contract status, scope clarity, files, credentials, payment readiness, and anything else needed to avoid a messy handoff.

Onboarding checklist stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Checklist items track contract, files, scope, and credentials
  • Managers can see what is still blocking assignment
  • Onboarding stays tied to the quote and later project record
Step 04
Client payment

Payment is collected or confirmed before the project moves forward.

Managers can create a hosted payment request or log an external payment. The billing state then controls what can happen next, including project activation and assignment.

The exact payment methods available here depend on the agency plan and billing configuration.

Client payment stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Hosted payment requests can be sent to clients directly
  • Manual logs support bank transfer or offline collection
  • Payment status drives quote, onboarding, and project gating
Step 05
Project assignment

Once ready, the quote converts into a project and work is assigned.

After the quote is approved and payment is clear, the manager converts it into a project, adds a lead, assigns team members, and distributes tasks from the same workspace.

Project assignment stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Quote converts into a project record
  • Lead and team members are attached intentionally
  • Task assignment happens inside the shared delivery board
Step 06
Delivery and completion

The team executes, the client monitors progress, and the project is completed.

Team members work from assigned tasks, clients follow timeline progress and chat updates, and the project moves to completion with activity and archived work retained for reference.

Client chat and credential sharing are available when the agency plan includes those portal features.

Delivery and completion stage of the agency workflow in Avvio.

What happens here

  • Team members work from assigned delivery views
  • Clients see timeline progress instead of internal task clutter
  • Completed work stays archived for future reference
