Formaloo Client Portal & Workflow Automation Sprint (5-7 days)

A 5-7 day sprint to deploy a branded client portal with intake forms, approval workflows, and automated PDF generation, turning Formaloo into a recurring revenue service for agencies.

Prerequisites
  • A Formaloo Business plan subscription ($29/month annual) to remove branding and enable custom domains
  • Client-approved list of intake forms, approval steps, and document templates to automate
  • Access to client's domain for custom domain setup and DNS configuration
  • Integration credentials for Slack, Google Sheets, Stripe, or PayPal as needed for downstream actions
  • A defined client point of contact for workflow validation and feedback
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Set up Formaloo workspace and create a project structure for the client's portal
  • 2.Map client's current intake and approval processes to Formaloo's form blocks and conditional logic
  • 3.Build a prototype intake form using 50+ advanced fields and blocks, including conditional logic and calculations
  • 1.Configure the client portal with branded design, custom domain, and white-label settings
  • 2.Create approval workflow steps using Formaloo Workflows, assigning approvers and setting up multi-step reviews
  • 3.Set up e-signature collection within the approval flow using Formaloo's signature blocks
  • 1.Design automated PDF templates for quotes, receipts, and intake summaries using Formaloo's Smart docs
  • 2.Connect the portal to Slack and Google Sheets via integrations to trigger notifications and log submissions
  • 3.Enable payment collection by integrating Stripe or PayPal for forms that require deposits or fees
  • 1.Test the end-to-end flow: form submission, approval routing, signature capture, and PDF generation
  • 2.Validate conditional logic and multiple endings to ensure different client scenarios route correctly
  • 3.Review webhook, API, and SDK access points for any custom integrations the client may need
  • 1.Train client staff on managing submissions, approving requests, and generating documents in the portal
  • 2.Create a simple admin guide covering portal settings, user roles, and common troubleshooting
  • 3.Deploy the portal to production and migrate any existing client data into Formaloo's cloud storage
  • 1.Run a parallel test with a small group of client users to gather feedback on usability
  • 2.Adjust conditional logic and workflow steps based on real-world usage and client input
  • 3.Set up email notification workflows for submission confirmations and approval alerts
  • 1.Finalize the portal and hand over admin access to the client's team
  • 2.Document the workflow configuration and integration details for future maintenance
  • 3.Schedule a post-launch review to discuss ongoing support and potential add-ons
$0 to $29 per month for Formaloo subscription, plus agency labor costs5-7 days
ROI Logic

With a $299/month productized offer and roughly 12 hours of setup plus 2 hours monthly maintenance, an agency can achieve strong margins even after covering the $29/month Formaloo Business plan cost. The low subscription fee allows agencies to bundle multiple client portals under one account or pass through the cost, keeping the service profitable at scale.

Deliverables
  • A branded client portal on the client's custom domain with white-label settings
  • Configured intake forms with conditional logic and calculations
  • Automated PDF templates for quotes, receipts, and intake summaries
  • Approval workflow with e-signature capture and multi-step reviews
  • Integration setup with Slack, Google Sheets, and payment processors
Definition of Done

The client portal is live on the custom domain, all workflows pass end-to-end testing, and client staff have been trained and can manage submissions and approvals independently.
