Customize and Automate Your Quoting Workflow
QuoteWerks Web Scripting with AI Assistant
Turn Ideas into Working Automation
Describe What You Want. Let QuoteWerks Build It.
QuoteWerks Web introduces a new approach to customization. Instead of writing code from scratch, you can describe the behavior you want in plain English, and the AI assistant generates a working script.
This allows your team to implement business rules, automate workflows, and control quoting behavior without depending on development resources.
What You Can Do
- Generate scripts from plain-English instructions
- Automate validation and approval rules
- Enforce pricing, margin, and configuration logic
- Guide users through structured workflows
- Rapidly test and refine automation
How It Works
QuoteWerks combines an AI assistant with an event-driven scripting engine.
- Start with a prompt describing your rule or workflow
- AI generates a working script
- Apply and test immediately
- Refine or extend as needed
This reduces the time from idea to execution and allows your team to move faster.
Event-Based Automation
Scripts run automatically at key points in the quoting process:
- Before or after saving a quote
- When adding or modifying line items
- Before generating proposals or documents
- When user inputs or selections change
This ensures your rules are applied consistently without relying on user behavior.
Example Prompts
- Prevent quotes from being sent without billing terms
- Auto-generate scope of work based on product category
- Update pricing automatically based on quantity thresholds
- Translate the Description into a foreign language
Built for Both Non-Developers and Technical Users
- Non-developers can generate and use scripts with AI
- Technical users can refine and extend logic with JavaScript
- Teams can standardize processes without heavy training
Example Use Cases
- Accepted quote: trigger fulfillment or order processing
- Viewed quote: notify sales for follow-up
- Payment received: update internal workflow or status
- Expired quote: prompt re-engagement
Event-Driven Automation
Respond Instantly to Customer Activity with QuoteValet Webhooks
Turn Quote Engagement into Action
QuoteValet enables customers to view, accept, and pay for quotes online. With webhooks, QuoteWerks can respond immediately to those actions, allowing your internal processes to move forward without delay.
This connects customer behavior directly to your operational workflow.
What Webhooks Enable
- Detect when a quote is viewed, accepted, or paid
- Trigger internal workflows automatically
- Notify your team in real time
- Drive follow-up actions without manual effort
Why It Matters
Instead of relying on email notifications or manual updates, webhooks allow your business to react instantly and consistently to customer actions.
This reduces delays, improves response time, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

FAQ Section
Common Questions about Development Resources for Extending QuoteWerks
QuoteWerks Web introduces a modern approach to automation using AI-assisted scripting and event-driven workflows. These frequently asked questions explain how scripting, webhooks, and Desktop development resources work together to extend your quoting capabilities.
AI scripting allows you to describe the behavior you want in plain English, and QuoteWerks generates a working script that runs inside your quoting workflow. You can apply the script immediately and refine it further if needed. This approach allows both non-technical and technical users to build automation efficiently and consistently.
You do not need to know JavaScript to get started. The AI assistant generates scripts based on your instructions, allowing non-developers to automate workflows quickly. Technical users can extend these scripts for more advanced scenarios as needed.
Scripting can be applied throughout the quoting lifecycle to enforce rules, guide users, and automate repetitive steps. This includes validating data, enforcing pricing rules, controlling configurations, and generating dynamic content.
Scripts run automatically based on specific events such as saving a quote, modifying line items, generating proposals, or updating user inputs. This ensures consistent execution of your business rules.
Webhooks are event-based notifications triggered by customer actions such as viewing, accepting, or paying for a quote. These events allow your internal processes to respond automatically, improving speed and reducing manual effort.
If you want AI-assisted automation built directly into your quoting workflow, QuoteWerks Web is the right choice. If you rely on Desktop SDK integrations or need deeper external customization, QuoteWerks Desktop may be more appropriate.
