To send a proposal in biloh you build it, preview it, and send it for acceptance. You can do every step by chat (ask your AI assistant) or in the web app — the steps are the same.
1. Create the proposal
Create a proposal against a client and one of their sites. If the client or site does not exist yet, create them first (or use the one-step onboarding composite). A new proposal starts in draft.
2. Add priced service lines
Add a line for each service you are quoting, with its price and — for recurring work — its cadence (weekly, monthly, a multi-visit program, or specific dates). Pricing is captured in integer cents and shown to the client as a clear investment.
Where one client has several premises, you can attach each line to the premises it covers and send a single document covering them all — see one proposal, many sites.
3. Preview the investment summary
Before sending, preview the investment summary. This is the same honest, frequency-aware figure the client will see on the signed agreement and the accept page — visits per year are placed on their true months, not evenly smeared. Previewing here means there are no surprises at acceptance.
4. Send it
Sending is deliberately a three-step chain, and nothing reaches the client until the last one:
- Stage the send — this renders the PDF and resolves exactly who will be emailed, so you can check the recipient list before anything goes out.
- Confirm it — this mints the client's signing token.
- Approve it — this is the step that actually sends the branded email.
The staging step is worth using properly: it reports the resolved recipients up front, which is how you catch a proposal about to go to the wrong contact.
5. The client accepts
The client accepts through the portal signing link in the email, by typing their name to sign. Acceptance is captured as immutable legal evidence under the Electronic Transactions Act, and the accepted proposal stands up the contract and its schedule automatically.
Do not ask a client to reply to the email with acceptance wording — a reply is not the signing flow, and it will not stand the proposal up.
6. If you need to change it afterwards
A sent proposal is immutable. Supersede it with an amended copy instead — see amending a proposal after you have sent it.
