Architecture and Configuration Updates

We’ve introduced purpose-built updates to support API-driven quoting:

New Playbook Type: Playbook API 

Built for API-based quote creation with:

• No question dependencies or hidden logic. 
• External pricing engine and data source support.
• Validation of all API-provided inputs.

Quote Type API Configuration

• API-Only Generation: Quotes are exclusively created through API using Playbook API.
• Limited UI Adjustments: Quotes can be viewed and adjusted in the UI (discounts, certain fields),, but playbook selections cannot be changed.
• Supports Real-Time Pricing: Ensures accurate configuration updates in dynamic pricing environments.

Example Use Cases:

• E-commerce Portals: Automatically generate and display pricing and quotes within customer-facing portals for a real-time buying experience.
• In-Product Quoting (PLG): Enable self-service quotes directly from your product interface, with DealHub managing pricing logic in the background.
• Automated Renewal Workflows: Trigger renewal quotes without manual involvement, ensuring consistency and faster contract cycles.
• Partner Platforms: Allow external partners to generate and submit quotes securely via API, while maintaining governance and control.
• Custom Approval Flows: Integrate quote actions into custom approval or CRM workflows, reducing context-switching for sales and operations teams.

Admin Configuration Note:

This feature requires setup of a dedicated Playbook API and associated quote types. Admin users can review API documentation or reach out to Customer Success for guided enablement support.
