Project-based dev agency pack
A project-based dev agency sells fixed or capped builds out of a paid discovery phase, so it always needs the next project.
Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

The accounts it needs
Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.
Webhook URL (CRM or sheet)
In the client’s Calendly: Integrations & apps → API and webhooks → Personal access tokens → Generate new token, with the scopes scheduling_links:write (booking links) and, for the triggers, users:read, webhooks:read and webhooks:write. A token made before Calendly introduced scopes keeps full access.
platform.claude.com → Settings → API keys → Create key, in the workspace that bills this client.
airtable.com/create/tokens → Create token → scopes data.records:write and data.records:read (lookups and the triggers) → add the client’s base → copy the token.
In the client’s Pipedrive: your avatar → Personal preferences → API → copy the token.
In the client’s ClickUp: avatar → Settings → Apps → API Token → Generate.
In the client’s Slack: api.slack.com/apps → Create New App → OAuth & Permissions → add the chat:write scope (and channels:history, plus groups:history for a private channel, for the message trigger) → Install to Workspace → copy the Bot User OAuth Token. Invite the app to the channel.
After you install it
It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:
- Pick the client’s form that starts it
- Connect the client’s Twilio (SMS), for “Instant reply”, “Text the owner now”, “Escalate” and “The rescue”
- Connect the client’s Resend (email), for “Email acknowledgement” and “Tell the owner”
- Connect the client’s Webhook URL (CRM or sheet) (optional: the step can be turned off instead), for “Send to CRM or sheet”
- Fill in Business name (How the texts and emails sign off)
- Fill in Owner’s mobile (Rung for emergencies. Add a second number after a comma and the escalation goes there)
