payment gateways for acceptance collection
Six statuses. One unified hub.
Every proposal tracks through six lifecycle states from draft through acceptance or expiry. The Proposals Hub aggregates Advanced proposals, Quick Quotes, and Ops quotes into a single pipeline with dashboard and list views.
Draft
Proposals in progress. Not yet sent to any client. Resume editing or discard.
Sent
Delivered to client via email or public link. View tracking activates on first open.
Viewed
Client has opened the proposal. Section-level analytics begin recording time spent.
Accepted
Client accepted. Payment collected (if configured). E-signature triggered. Deal stage updated.
Declined
Client declined with optional reason. Sequence automation stops. Record preserved for win/loss analytics.
Expired
Validity period elapsed without response. Expiring trigger fires automation before deadline.
Proposals Hub
Quote in thirty seconds.
Quick Quote is the Basic tier of Calisto Proposals, included in every subscription. Select contact, add line items, set validity, send. No sections, no templates, no configuration. Clients see a branded page with accept and decline buttons.
Select contact
Search existing contacts or create inline. Name, email, company auto-populate from contact database.
Add line items
Description, quantity, unit price, and cost basis per item. Add as many as needed. Live total updates as you type.
Set validity and currency

Templates. Content blocks. Master pricebook.
Four reusable asset libraries feed every proposal. Templates set the structure, content blocks fill the narrative, the pricebook controls pricing, and job templates bundle common service packages.
Template Library
Build reusable templates with default sections, merge fields, approval rules, and linked e-signature templates. Set one template as default per vertical. Usage counts and last-used dates track adoption.
Content Library
Pre-written blocks ready to drop into any proposal. Four block types: Text, Image, Table, and List. Version history per block with search and tag filtering.
Pricebook
Master catalog of every product, service, and labor rate your team quotes. SKU, category, unit price, cost basis, and auto-calculated margin. Price guardrails prevent rogue discounting.
Job Templates

CMA report statuses (real estate)
Interactive proposals. Accept with payment.
Clients view proposals on any device. Select options, ask questions inline, accept with deposit or full payment. Every view tracked with section-level analytics.
Every save versioned. Six approval statuses.
Unlimited version history with side-by-side diff viewer and one-click restore. Post-acceptance change orders track amendments formally. Internal approval workflows lock proposals until sign-off.
Version History
Every save creates a new version. Full history with timestamps and author attribution. Restore any previous version with one click.
Side-by-Side Diff
Compare any two versions in a split view. Sections added, removed, and modified highlighted with line-item price deltas.
Change Orders
Post-acceptance amendments tracked formally. Items added, removed, or modified recorded with original versus revised totals and net change.
Six approval statuses
Three triggers. Win/loss analytics.
Event-driven automation sequences follow up on sent, viewed, or expiring proposals. Win/loss analytics track conversion across types, verticals, and team members.
Three triggers. Four step types. Five exits.
Event-driven automation sequences follow up automatically after proposals are sent, viewed, or approaching expiry. Email, SMS, wait, and conditional branch steps. Sequences stop on acceptance, decline, expiry, manual stop, or any response.
Triggers
Proposal Sent
Sequence starts when proposal is delivered to client via email or public link.
Proposal Viewed
Fires when client opens proposal for the first time. View tracking timestamp triggers the sequence.
Proposal Expiring
Fires when proposal approaches its validity expiry date. Configurable lead time before deadline.
Step types
Custom subject and body with merge fields. Client name, proposal value, expiry date, and custom field tokens.
SMS
Text message with merge fields. Short-form follow-ups for high-priority proposals.
Wait
Delay between steps. Configure hours or days. Prevents overwhelming clients with back-to-back messages.
Conditional
If/else branches based on proposal status. Route sequence differently for viewed versus unopened proposals.
Exit conditions
Win/loss tracking. Market analysis.
Proposal analytics track conversion rates, pipeline value, response times, and engagement metrics. For real estate verticals, Comparative Market Analysis reports generate comp-based pricing with PDF export.
Win/Loss Analytics
Conversion rates across proposal types, verticals, and team members. Track acceptance, decline, and expiry ratios over configurable time periods.
Pipeline Value
Total pipeline value by status. See revenue in draft, sent, and accepted stages. Compare current period against previous for trend analysis.
Response Time
Average time from sent to first view, and from first view to decision. Identify proposals that stall and intervene earlier.
Engagement Metrics
View tracking aggregates: average time on proposal, sections most viewed, return visit rates, and option selection patterns.
