Create client onboarding project and assign owner immediately

Automatically monitor contact tag events across Keap and analytics tools. Create and update onboarding projects, client folder links, and customer records when assignment tags apply, owner tags are added, or contacts get tagged as assignedβ€”so you can protect setup work without manual setup work.

How this automation creates client onboarding projects faster

When assigned contact tags arrive but ownership and setup steps still need manual coordination, onboarding delays stack up. This automation looks up owners, creates client folders, and builds monday.com onboarding projectsβ€”so your team can start setup immediately.
