Let routine quotes handle themselves - by rules you set

  1. 1

    When - pick the trigger that starts the rule, like a new quote request arriving.

  2. 2

    If - set the conditions you define. Nothing fires unless they match; there’s no AI deciding for you.

  3. 3

    Then - choose the action: auto-accept (within your floor price), auto-price, auto-assign, auto-decline, or follow up.

  4. 4

    Deterministic by design - every automated action is logged, and one switch pauses all rules at once.

Let routine quotes handle themselves

Most B2B quotes are routine - a known buyer, a familiar product, a discount well within your limits. QuotWay automation rules handle those for you, so your team’s attention goes to the deals that actually need negotiating. A rule watches for the conditions you set and takes the action you chose, every time.

  • You define every condition - rules trigger on facts from the quote (value, customer tag, products, and more). There’s no guesswork and no model deciding for you
  • Routine in, attention freed - the everyday quotes resolve on their own; the exceptions land in your inbox with a human in the loop
  • You stay in control - a global kill switch pauses all automation instantly, and every automated action is recorded in the quote’s event log

When → If → Then rules

Every automation rule follows the same plain shape - When something happens, If your conditions are true, Then take an action. You read a rule the way you’d say it out loud. Because the rule only acts when your conditions match, it’s predictable and auditable - deterministic automation, not a model deciding for you.

  • When - the trigger that starts the rule (a new quote request arrives, or a buyer accepts a proposal)
  • If - the conditions that must be true for the rule to act: quote value, customer tag, the products on the quote, and similar facts QuotWay already knows
  • Then - the action QuotWay takes: auto-accept, auto-price, auto-assign, auto-decline, or send a follow-up

Auto-accept, auto-price, auto-assign, auto-decline

QuotWay gives you four core actions, each gated by the conditions you set, so the routine parts of a quote move without you. Each action runs only when its If conditions match - a quote that doesn’t match a rule simply flows to your inbox as normal.

  • Auto-accept - accept a quote automatically when it’s already within your limits; pair it with your floor price so a rule never accepts below the price you’d take
  • Auto-price - apply your pricing to a matching quote automatically, so a familiar request comes back priced the way you’d have priced it by hand
  • Auto-assign - route a quote to the right person on your team based on your conditions, so it lands with an owner the moment it arrives
  • Auto-decline - turn down quotes that don’t fit - outside a region, below a quantity threshold, or any condition you set - politely and consistently

Automatic follow-ups and expiry reminders

Deals slip when a quote sits unanswered. QuotWay can follow up for you and time-box every proposal, so a quiet buyer doesn’t become a lost one. Follow-ups and reminders are part of the same rules engine, and every send is logged with the quote.

  • Automatic follow-ups - when a quote is awaiting a response from the buyer, QuotWay can send a follow-up on the schedule you set, so the deal stays warm without your team chasing it by email
  • Auto-expiry with reminders - a proposal can carry an expiry date, with reminders before it lapses, so buyers get a nudge while the offer still stands and stale quotes close out cleanly

A kill switch you control

Automation should never run away from you. A single global kill switch pauses every automation rule at once - useful during a price change, a busy season, or any time you want a human on every quote.

  • One toggle, all rules - turning automation off stops auto-accept, auto-price, auto-assign, auto-decline, follow-ups, and reminders together, instantly
  • Nothing is lost - quotes that would have been automated simply wait in your inbox for you to handle by hand until you switch automation back on
  • Full audit trail - every automated action is written to the quote’s append-only event log, so you can always see which rule acted, on which quote, and when

Build a rule in three plain steps

Every automated action is recorded in the quote’s append-only event log, so you can always see which rule acted and when - and you can pause all of it with the kill switch.

  1. 1

    Choose When

    Pick the trigger that starts the rule - for example, a new quote request arriving.

  2. 2

    Set the If conditions

    Narrow the rule to the quotes you mean: a quote value below a threshold, a specific customer tag, particular products. Combine conditions to keep it precise.

  3. 3

    Pick the Then action

    Choose what QuotWay does - auto-accept within your floor price, auto-assign to a teammate, auto-decline, or send a follow-up. Save it, and the rule runs on every matching quote from then on.

Questions, answered

Does QuotWay use AI to price or negotiate quotes?

No. QuotWay automation is rule-based and deterministic: it acts only on conditions you set - quote value, customer tag, products, and similar facts - and takes the action you chose. It does not use AI to set prices, predict outcomes, or negotiate on its own. You stay in control, and a global kill switch pauses every rule at once.

Which plan includes automation rules?

Automation rules are available on Professional ($79/mo) and Enterprise ($199/mo). The Lite (free) and Starter ($29/mo) plans do not include automation. Every paid plan includes a 14-day free trial, and annual billing saves 20%.

What can an automation rule do?

A rule follows a When → If → Then shape: when something happens, if your conditions are true, then QuotWay takes an action. Actions include auto-accept (within your floor price), auto-price, auto-assign to a staff member, auto-decline, automatic follow-ups on quotes awaiting a buyer, and auto-expiry with reminders.

Can I turn automation off?

Yes. A global kill switch pauses every automation rule instantly - auto-accept, auto-price, auto-assign, auto-decline, follow-ups, and reminders all stop together. Quotes that would have been automated simply wait in your inbox for you to handle by hand until you switch automation back on.

Will a rule ever accept a quote below my price?

No. Auto-accept respects your floor price, so a rule never accepts below the lowest price you’d take. Quotes that fall outside your conditions flow to your inbox for a human to handle instead.
