Sales-to-billing automation on a platform the team controls
The business ran on automations that had grown one at a time, and on people carrying each deal between sales, contracts and finance. We moved the automation estate onto n8n and automated the CRM lifecycle end to end.

- Full migration
- Zapier → n8n
- The automation estate moved onto one platform the team can inspect and change.
- End-to-end lifecycle
- Lead → billing
- Lead, quote, contract e-signature, post-signature actions and billing connected as one flow.
- As the trigger
- Signature
- A signed contract starts the next stage, instead of someone checking whether it came back.
What was breaking.
Automations had accumulated as separate workflows on a hosted per-task platform. Each one did its job, but the process as a whole was hard to see and harder to change safely.
Between the CRM, quoting, contract signature and billing, people still moved each deal along by hand, which made every stage a place for delays and re-keyed details.
The system we built.
Two tracks: move the existing automations onto n8n, then connect the CRM lifecycle on the new platform so each stage follows from the last.
- MigrateThe full automation estate moved from Zapier to n8n.
- LeadLeads captured and progressed in Zoho CRM.
- QuoteQuotes produced from the deal without re-keying.
- ContractContracts sent for e-signature; signature moves the deal forward.
- After signaturePost-signature actions and billing follow automatically.

Written up at problem level only.
This engagement is under NDA. We can talk through the approach on a call; client details, screens, workflow specifics and internal figures stay private.
