Client Acceptance (Private Link)
How client accept/decline works, what to do after acceptance, and common issues.
Overview
Some Systemise setups allow a client to accept or decline a quote via a secure private link.
This is useful because:
- It removes back-and-forth
- Acceptance is recorded against the quote
Recommended process
- Send the quote using the standard email template.
- Include clear instructions: "Click Accept to approve".
- When accepted:
- Update quote status to Accepted (if not automatic)
- Convert to a job
- Schedule the work
If the client declines
- Record the reason.
- Offer alternatives (scope reduction, staged delivery, different timing).
- If a new price is proposed, create a revision.
Troubleshooting
Client says the link doesn’t work
- Confirm they’re opening the most recent email.
- Ask them to try a different browser.
- If the link expired, re-send a new quote/version.
