Accessing Quotes on MyProfile #

Quote requestors can view, make changes and payments to their quotes through MyProfile. When submitting a quote, requestors will be required to enter their Name, email and password. This information will create a contact record in the Groupdesk Agent Interface and will allow them to securely access their quote through MyProfile.

To View a Quote on MyProfile: #

Quote Requestors can view their quote by logging into the Traveller Interface using their email and password they provided when submitting their quote.

Quotes will appear on the left side of MyProfile under the Quotes section which is located below their personal information and any trips (if applicable).

​

Using the tabs under the Quote name, quote requestors can: Review their quote, approve and make payments, and request any changes to their quotes.

Quote Records in Agent Interface #

When a quote requestor submits a request for a quote, a new Quote record will be created in the Agent Interface. Agents will be notified of a new quote submission via Email.

Once a quote has been submitted a Groupdesk user will have to manually add a Brand record to the quote, along with the other quote details such as quantity, type and price. A Brand record is necessary for payments to be processed in the Traveller Interface because it creates the relationship to a Stripe account.

When a transaction is processed on a quote, an email will be sent to the Groupdesk Agent. When changes to an existing quote are submitted through the Traveller Interface, the agent will receive an email notification regarding the changes.

Creating a Transaction on a Quote #

There are 2 ways to create a transaction on a quote record.

• By making a payment through the Traveller Interface​

• By adding a manual transaction to a quote (transactions can only be created on the payments module of the quote record, not by using the + button.)
