Workflow Automation

Paperwork that moves itself forward

Chain documents and signatures: create the estimate, send it, wait for the signature, create the contract and the invoice — automatically.

Custom steps

Create documents, designs, delays and notifications in any order.

Why it is better together

The workflow automation is not a separate product with its own login and its own export step. It lives inside the same DonForge file as your designs, documents, photos, PDFs and signature requests. A contractor can write an estimate, design a matching flyer, add before-and-after photos and send the estimate for signature — all from one file that the client sees through one link.

That matters because small businesses lose time and money moving files between apps. Every export and re-upload is a chance for the wrong version to go out. With DonForge, the latest version is always the one in the file, autosaved and versioned, so you can restore any earlier draft.

How to get started

  1. Pick a workflow recipe.
  2. Choose a project with a client email.
  3. Start the run.
  4. Watch it move as the client signs.
