How It Works

From first hello to final invoice.

Create a project, onboard your client, add deliverables, collect approvals, and send invoices — all from one platform. Five steps. Zero chaos.

add_circleYou do this01

Create a project in 30 seconds

One form. That's it.

Fill in a project title, your client's name and email, add an optional description and brand details. Hit "Create & Send Magic Link." That's the entire setup. TryApprove auto-generates a draft contract and intake questionnaire, and emails your client a secure portal link — no signup required.

  • editProject title, client name & email — required
  • businessBrand name & description — optional context
  • auto_awesomeContract + questionnaire auto-generated as drafts
  • mailClient gets a magic link email instantly

Onboard your client before work starts

Contracts, questionnaires, welcome docs, kickoff calls.

When you create the project, TryApprove auto-generates a contract and questionnaire in draft mode. Review them, customize if needed, then send. You can also share welcome docs (brand guidelines, project briefs) and schedule kickoff calls — all from the Onboarding tab inside your project.

  • descriptionContracts with e-signature — auto-drafted from project details
  • quizIntake questionnaires — gather requirements before work starts
  • menu_bookWelcome docs — share brand guidelines or project briefs
  • video_callKickoff calls — schedule directly in the portal

Add deliverables as tasks

Upload files, set checklists, control visibility.

Inside your project, add tasks — each one is a deliverable. Attach an image, PDF, video, or link. Add a description and review checklist. Choose whether it's visible to the client yet or internal-only. Assign it to a team member. Your client gets notified automatically when you share a new task.

  • attach_fileAttach images, PDFs, videos, or links per task
  • checklistAdd an approval checklist — the client checks items off
  • visibilityControl client visibility — keep tasks internal until ready
  • groupAssign to team members for collaboration
