How does Better Proposals work for workflow automation?
Better Proposals works for workflow automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Better Proposals alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for workflow, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Proposals kick off the post-sale handoff: notify CS in @Slack
Design complex automation workflows with a visual builder — no developers needed.
- 03
Create the project in @Notion
Teams typically see eliminated across connected systems once the agent is in production.
- 04
Book kickoff in @Calendar
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
