How to Use Workflows to Automate Client Onboarding

You’ve closed the deal—now what?

The moment someone becomes a client is critical. It’s your opportunity to wow them, build trust, and prove they made the right decision. But manually onboarding every new client can be time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to mistakes.

That’s where Workflows inside Laminar Sync come in.

With automation, you can deliver a streamlined, personalized onboarding experience—without the manual effort.


🚀 Why Automate Onboarding?

First impressions matter. A smooth, professional onboarding process sets the tone for your entire relationship. When you automate it:

  • You respond instantly
  • You stay consistent
  • You free up time to focus on service

It’s a win for both your business and your client.


⚙️ How to Build an Onboarding Workflow in Laminar Sync

Here’s a basic onboarding sequence you can set up:

✅ Step 1: Trigger the Workflow

When a client signs a proposal, submits a form, or gets added to a pipeline stage—your workflow begins.

✉️ Step 2: Send a Welcome Email or SMS

Include:

  • A thank-you message
  • What to expect next
  • Helpful links or resources

📆 Step 3: Offer a Booking Link

Invite them to schedule a kickoff call, strategy session, or onboarding appointment using Laminar Sync’s built-in calendar.

📋 Step 4: Collect Info with a Form

Gather anything you need:

  • Branding assets
  • Access credentials
  • Preferences

Responses get added directly to the CRM for future automation and personalization.

🔁 Step 5: Assign Tasks or Notifications to Your Team

Automate internal alerts so your team knows when to follow up, send a gift, or launch a project.

🤖 Step 6: Drip Emails or Educational Content

Use timed messages to guide them through the process, reinforce value, and reduce overwhelm.


✨ Bonus Tips

  • Use conditional logic to personalize onboarding based on service type
  • Track engagement with email opens and clicks
  • Connect onboarding to automated review requests once projects are complete
