How to Send a Proposal

  1. Open any estimate in your dashboard.

  2. At the top of the screen, switch from the Estimate tab to the Proposal tab.

  3. Customize the proposal:

    • Add a client summary message

    • Attach files, terms and conditions, signatures

    • Set up a payment schedule (optional)

    • Adjust the layout (Lump Sum vs. itemized)

  4. Tap the Preview & send button to see a final preview as your client will see it.

  5. Tap Send Proposal. If you haven't assigned a client yet, you'll be prompted to do so.

  6. Choose delivery method: Text (SMS), Email, or both.

Your client receives a professional link they can open from any device — no login required. They can review all the details and approve directly from the link.

After Sending

From the proposal options menu (three dots), you can:

Converting to Other Formats

Once a proposal is sent or approved, use the Convert button to turn it into:

  • Invoice — bill the client for approved work
