About This Automation

Recurring workflow templates are manual processes that initiate, assign, and track standardized work cycles for clients and internal teams. Running them manually consumes significant time and creates inconsistencies across workflows.

Automation monitors the schedule, instantiates templates with current data, assigns tasks to team members, and tracks completion end-to-end. The result is faster workflow initiation, consistent execution, and a complete audit trail.

Key features
Monitor workflow calendar and automatically trigger template instances on schedule
Populate templates with current client and date data without manual editing
Assign tasks to team members based on role rules and send notifications automatically
Track task completion status in real time and flag overdue items
Reconcile workflow data against the accounting system and flag discrepancies
Generate compliance-ready completion reports with full audit trails

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Workflow Schedule Triggeredtrigger

A calendar date or prior workflow completion triggers the automation to run. The system checks which workflows are due and retrieves the correct template.

2. Fetch Template and Client Data

The automation retrieves the workflow template and pulls the current client and date information from the accounting system.

3. Create Active Workflow Instance

A new workflow document is created with the correct month, client name, and all date fields pre-populated. The document is saved to the active workflows folder.

4. Assign Tasks and Send Notifications

Tasks are automatically assigned to team members based on role rules. Notifications are sent with a direct link to the workflow and a due date.

5. Monitor Task Completion

The automation polls the workflow document for task status updates and sends reminder notifications to team members with incomplete tasks on day 3 and day 5.

6. Verify Data in Accounting System

Once all tasks are marked complete, the automation compares workflow entries against the accounting system to flag any mismatches for human review.

7. Generate and Archive Report

A completion report is automatically generated with timestamps and task owners. The report is emailed to stakeholders and the workflow is archived.
