What is a client intake form?

A client intake form collects what you need to know before work starts: scope, goals, stakeholders, budget, and timeline. Clients save progress and submit when ready, and your team reviews each submission before kickoff. This one is a guided flow that connects to Assembly's full client management and client portal.

Intake that's done before the kickoff call

  • Clients share scope, goals, budget, and timeline, save as they go, and submit when they're ready.
  • Clients list each stakeholder with their role, responsibilities, and the best way to reach them.
  • Anyone at the client's company can add to the same intake.
  • Filter intakes by status, mark them reviewed, and keep your kickoff notes beside the client's answers.
