Getting started with QuoteCloud

QuoteCloud + Asana

From signed proposal to Asana project, without retyping

Connect QuoteCloud to Asana through Zapier and a signed proposal starts the delivery project from your template, with the client and document named in it. Reviews and new quotes can run through Asana too, so nothing waits in someone's inbox.

What Asana is

Asana is a work management app where teams plan projects, assign tasks and track deadlines. QuoteCloud customers use it to run the work a signed proposal has just sold.

In practice

How three businesses use QuoteCloud with Asana

Example businesses from our industry pages, and the job the connection does for each.

Marketing services

Ambergrove Digital

Ambergrove Digital sells SEO, social and paid media retainers, and every new client follows the same onboarding steps. They run that work in Asana. When a retainer proposal is signed, the Zap creates the client's onboarding project from their Asana template and a kickoff task for the account lead, so the work starts the day the deal closes.

Ashcombe Partners

Ashcombe Partners has a partner review every statement of work before it goes out, using QuoteCloud's approval workflow. Partners live in Asana, not their inbox. Document Review Requested creates a task for the reviewing partner, and once they approve in QuoteCloud the document is ready to send, so engagements don't stall waiting on a sign-off.

Glasswing Studio

Glasswing Studio scopes every website in Asana, with a task per prospect. When scoping is done, the producer moves the task to "Ready to quote" and Zapier creates a draft proposal from the studio's template, filling the client's details into data items and the agreed pages into price-table rows. The producer checks it and sends it from QuoteCloud; the client picks any options.

FAQ

QuoteCloud and Asana: questions

How does QuoteCloud connect to Asana?

QuoteCloud connects to Asana through QuoteCloud's Zapier app. Each Zap has one trigger, such as a QuoteCloud document being signed or an Asana task moving section, and the actions that follow in the other app. Data moves only when the trigger fires, in the direction the Zap sets.

Can a signed proposal create an Asana project from our template?

Yes. Use QuoteCloud's Document Signing Complete trigger, which fires when every signer has signed, then Asana's Create Project From Template action. Map the client or document name into the project name, and add a Create Task step if you want a kickoff task with a link to the document.

Can Asana create a QuoteCloud quote?

Yes. An Asana trigger such as Task Moved to Section can run QuoteCloud's Create Document action, which makes a document from one of your templates and can fill data items and price-table rows. Zapier can't tick options or choose content blocks. Documents created this way carry QuoteCloud's per-document fee.

What does it cost to connect QuoteCloud and Asana?

Zapier is available on QuoteCloud's Essentials plan and up, and Zapier's own plan limits apply. Zaps that only send QuoteCloud events to Asana add no QuoteCloud fee. Each document created through the API or Zapier carries a fee of US$2.00, $1.80 or $1.60 depending on volume.
