What happens after submit

A basic form builder stops here. DocOtto keeps going: every submission becomes a deal you can track from intake to signed and paid.

Lands on your board

The submission becomes a card on your pipeline the moment it arrives. Assign it, note it, and move it forward.

Customer gets a status page

Every submission gets a Living Link with your branding, so customers always know what happens next.

Contract goes out pre-filled

Create the agreement from your template, filled in with their answers, and send it for e-signature.

Deposit collected via Stripe

Request a deposit or full payment. When it lands, the card on your board moves forward on its own.

Example workflow

water heater replacement

A customer selects water heater, answers the fuel type and capacity questions the form reveals, and uploads a photo of the tank. The request lands in Scope Review, the office confirms the replacement options, and the repair authorization goes out with the deposit request. The deposit is paid through Stripe, and the Living Link moves from urgency reviewed to authorization sent to appointment scheduled.

Why use DocOtto instead of a basic form builder?

Form builders collect responses and stop. DocOtto runs the whole middle: the pipeline that tracks every deal, the contract that fills itself in, the Stripe deposit that follows the signature, and the Living Link that keeps your customer in the loop. From intake to signed and paid, in one place.
