Use this recipe when a new engagement needs a shared home. You will create or reuse a client record, connect its first project, and give the initial actions clear owners. Before you start: your workspace needs Clients and Projects objects, a suitable record or relationship attribute between them, and access to create records and tasks. Object names and required fields can differ by workspace.
1

Find or create the client

Search for the client first and inspect similar results. If no record represents the client, open Clients, select New Client, and fill in the name and required fields. Add confirmed website and contact details where your schema provides them.Keep unknown details empty until they are confirmed. Create one record for the client rather than a new client record for each engagement.
2

Give the engagement its own project

Open Projects and select New Project. Use a recognizable name such as Relio website. Add a short description of the engagement, the current status, and an agreed target date if one exists.A useful opening description is:
Prepare the Relio homepage brief. Confirm the audience, product benefits, page sections, and call to action. Record open questions before drafting.
3

Connect the project to the client

On the project, use its Client attribute to select the existing client record. Open the linked record to check you selected the right one.If you need to configure this field, follow Connect related records. A paired Relationship can expose Projects on the client; a Record attribute should not be assumed to create that reciprocal field.
4

Create the first three actions

Open Tasks → New Task and create only the actions needed to start. Link each one to the project, choose assignees, and add completion criteria.Set deadlines based on the engagement rather than copying dates from an example.
5

Review the engagement together

Open the project and its linked tasks. Confirm the client connection, immediate next action, and who is responsible. Add missing context before the kickoff so the meeting can focus on decisions.

Check the result

There should be one recognizable client, one project for this engagement, and linked kickoff tasks with clear owners. If the client already existed, confirm you reused that record. Next, Prepare for a client meeting.
