Automate MSP Documentation: SOWs, QBRs & Technical Reports
Stop wasting 120+ hours per month manually creating SOWs, QBRs, and client documentation. Automatically generate professional reports directly from ConnectWise, Autotask, and your PSA with zero manual work.
Quick Answer
MSP documentation automation uses software to generate SOWs, QBRs, proposals, and technical reports directly from your PSA (ConnectWise, Autotask, Datto, etc.). Instead of manually copying ticket data, service metrics, and client information into Word templates, automation pulls everything from your PSA and creates pixel-perfect documents in minutes. MSPs save 120+ hours per month and eliminate errors that damage client trust.

Why MSPs Need Documentation Automation
As an MSP, documentation is your competitive advantage—but it's also your biggest time drain. Clients expect detailed SOWs before projects start, comprehensive QBRs showing service value, and professional proposals for upsells. Yet your team spends 15-20 hours per week manually creating these documents from PSA data.
The Manual MSP Documentation Problem
- QBR preparation hell: Technicians spend 4-6 hours manually pulling ticket data, calculating SLA metrics, and building reports
- SOW bottleneck: Projects delayed 1-2 weeks waiting for SOW creation and approval cycles
- Data accuracy issues: Wrong SLA stats, outdated service hours, mismatched ticket counts damage credibility
- Brand inconsistency: Every technician creates reports that look different—unprofessional
- Missed upsell opportunities: No time to create professional proposals for service expansions
Documentation automation solves this. Connect your PSA to TurboDocx, create branded templates once, and generate professional documents automatically. QBRs that took 6 hours now take 10 minutes. SOWs that delayed projects for weeks are ready in 5 minutes.
Real Impact: MSPs Report After Automation
- 120+ hours saved per month across a 10-person MSP team
- 98% reduction in data errors that hurt client relationships
- 42% more QBRs conducted leading to higher retention and upsells
- 3x faster project starts with automated SOW generation
- Consistent professional branding across all client-facing documents
6 Critical MSP Documents to Automate
Statements of Work (SOWs)
Generate detailed project SOWs from PSA project records in minutes
SOWs are the foundation of every MSP project, but they're painful to create manually. You need client details, project scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and terms—all pulled from your PSA, CRM, and past project templates.
With automation, create an SOW template once with placeholders for PSA fields. When a new project is created in ConnectWise or Autotask, automatically generate the SOW with all project details, pricing from the estimate, and client-specific terms. The result: SOWs ready in 5 minutes instead of 4 hours.
🎯 What Gets Automated in SOWs
- • Client company name, address, contact details from PSA
- • Project scope, deliverables, and timeline from project record
- • Pricing breakdown from estimates and line items
- • Service terms, SLA commitments, and payment schedules
- • Account manager and technical lead assignments
Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs)
Pull ticket metrics, SLA performance, and service data automatically
QBRs are critical for client retention and upselling, but they're the most time-consuming document MSPs create. Technicians manually export ticket data, calculate SLA percentages, build charts, and compile everything into PowerPoint or Word.
Automation transforms this. Connect TurboDocx to your PSA, create a QBR template with tables and charts, and generate comprehensive reports automatically. The platform pulls ticket counts by category, response/resolution times, SLA compliance rates, top issues, and service hours—all formatted professionally with your branding.
📊 Automated QBR Metrics from PSA
- • Total tickets opened, resolved, and in progress
- • Average response time vs SLA target
- • Average resolution time vs SLA target
- • Tickets by priority (P1, P2, P3, P4)
- • Top 10 ticket categories and trends
- • Service hours consumed vs contracted
- • Agent performance and response quality
Time savings: Manual QBR creation takes 4-6 hours. Automated QBRs take 10 minutes.
Monthly Service Reports
Send clients monthly summaries of services rendered and metrics
Many MSPs send monthly reports showing ticket activity, service hours used, and highlights. Manually creating these for 50+ clients takes days. Automation generates all reports in minutes from a single workflow.
Set up an n8n workflow that automatically generates monthly reports for all active clients on the 1st of each month, pulls data from your PSA for the previous month, and emails PDFs to each client. Zero manual work.
Service Proposals and Quotes
Generate professional proposals for new services or expansions
When clients request quotes for additional services, new users, or infrastructure upgrades, speed matters. Competitors who respond faster win the business. But manually building proposals from PSA pricing data takes hours.
Automate proposal generation from PSA opportunities or quotes. Pull client information, service details, pricing, and terms automatically. Include e-signature integration so clients can approve quotes immediately without printing or scanning.
Network and Infrastructure Documentation
Auto-generate network diagrams and configuration documentation
Clients expect up-to-date network documentation, but keeping it current is a nightmare. Every configuration change requires manual updates to Word docs or Visio diagrams.
Use automation to pull device configurations, IP assignments, and network topology from your RMM or documentation tools, then generate formatted technical documents automatically. Include screenshots, diagrams, and configuration details without manual copy-paste.
Post-Incident Reports
Document major outages and incidents with professional reports
After major incidents (network outages, security breaches, system failures), clients expect detailed post-mortem reports. These need timeline of events, root cause analysis, resolution steps, and prevention measures.
Create incident report templates that pull ticket details, timeline data, affected systems, and resolution notes from your PSA. Generate professional reports immediately after incidents are resolved, maintaining client trust during critical situations.
Integrating with Your PSA Platform
The key to MSP documentation automation is seamless PSA integration. Your PSA (ConnectWise Manage, Autotask, Datto, Syncro, etc.) contains all the data needed for documents—tickets, time entries, SLA metrics, client details, service agreements, and billing information.
ConnectWise Integration
TurboDocx integrates natively with ConnectWise Manage to pull Companies, Contacts, Opportunities, Service Tickets, Agreements, Time Entries, and more. Generate documents from any ConnectWise record type.
Supports: Companies, Service Tickets, Projects, Opportunities, Agreements, Invoices
Autotask Integration
Connect to Autotask PSA to access Accounts, Contacts, Tickets, Projects, Opportunities, Contracts, Time Entries, and Invoices. Perfect for MSPs using Datto/Autotask/Kaseya stack.
Supports: Accounts, Tickets, Projects, Opportunities, Contracts, Resources
API-Based Integration
For PSAs not directly supported, use TurboDocx API to build custom integrations. Works with any PSA that has a REST API (Syncro, HaloPSA, RepairShopr, etc.).
Recommended for: Syncro, HaloPSA, RepairShopr, custom PSAs
n8n Workflow Automation
Connect your PSA, TurboDocx, and other tools using n8n workflows. Automatically trigger document generation when tickets are closed, projects are completed, or QBR dates arrive.
Popular triggers: New ticket, closed project, monthly QBR schedule
Example Workflow: Automated Monthly QBRs
n8n workflow runs on the 1st of each month at 6am
Fetches list of all active clients from ConnectWise with QBR agreements
For each client, pulls ticket metrics for previous month (tickets, SLA %, response times)
Generates branded QBR report via TurboDocx API with all metrics and charts
Emails PDF to primary contact and uploads to client portal
Creates calendar invite for QBR meeting with client stakeholders
Result: All QBRs prepared and distributed automatically. Zero manual work.
How to Implement MSP Documentation Automation
Start with your most time-consuming document type and expand from there. Here's the recommended rollout plan for MSPs:
4-Week Implementation Plan
Week 1: Connect PSA and Create First Template
Connect TurboDocx to ConnectWise or Autotask. Create your QBR template (most impactful first). Test with 3 real clients. Refine template based on feedback.
Week 2: Automate SOW Generation
Create SOW template with project scope, pricing, and terms placeholders. Generate SOWs from active projects. Add e-signature workflow with TurboSign.
Week 3: Build n8n Automation Workflows
Set up n8n to automatically generate monthly reports for all clients. Create workflow for auto-generating SOWs when projects are created in PSA.
Week 4: Add Proposal and Incident Report Templates
Create templates for service proposals, incident reports, and any other recurring documents. Train team on all automation workflows. Measure time savings.
Real MSP Example: Time and Cost Savings
50-person MSP managing 200 clients automated their documentation workflow:
Before Automation:
- ✗QBRs: 200 clients × 6 hours each = 1,200 hours/quarter (300 hrs/month)
- ✗SOWs: 40 projects/month × 4 hours each = 160 hours/month
- ✗Proposals: 30/month × 3 hours each = 90 hours/month
- ✗Total: 550 hours/month on manual documentation
After Automation:
- ✓QBRs: 200 clients × 10 minutes each = 33 hours/month (automated generation)
- ✓SOWs: 40 projects × 5 minutes each = 3 hours/month
- ✓Proposals: 30 × 5 minutes each = 2.5 hours/month
- ✓Total: 38.5 hours/month on documentation
