How do you start the project when a proposal is signed?
To start the project when a proposal is signed, connect Maito to your e-signature tool, CRM, calendar and task tracker. When it sees the signature, it confirms the signed version and deposit, creates the project with tasks and an owner, and proposes kickoff times. The invite goes out after you pick one.
How it's done today
Someone recreates scope, dates, contacts and tasks from the proposal.
What Maito does
- Confirm the signed version and deposit
- Create the project from the matching template
- Assign the owner
- Propose kickoff times from the calendar
Example
Loop run: Proposal P-441 signed
Globex website redesign (P-441) is signed. • Signed version: v2, $27,000, by Hannah Wu at 10:05 AM • Deposit: $9,000, marked received in the CRM Oct 18 • Project created from the Website template: 24 tasks, owner Nate, launch target Dec 11 • Kickoff options with Hannah and Nate free: Wed Oct 21, 2:00 PM or Thu Oct 22, 10:00 AM Catch: the CRM also has a v3 draft at $29,500 with SEO added. Hannah signed v2, so no SEO tasks were created.
@Maito Book Thursday at 10 and invite Hannah.
Invite for Thursday Oct 22, 10:00 AM sent to Hannah and you. I'll ask Hannah by email whether she wants SEO added, so we can settle v3.

What it won't do
It follows the signed document. Changes the customer asked for but didn't sign are not in the project until someone updates it.
Questions
Docusign, your CRM, your calendar and your task tracker, such as Linear, Asana, ClickUp, Jira or Trello.
It builds tasks from the signed version and flags the draft, so unsigned changes don't create work.
No. It offers times and sends the invite after you choose.
