About This Automation

Client onboarding at aged care facilities involves collecting intake forms, manually re-entering data, drafting agreements, and obtaining signatures. The manual process is slow, error-prone, and creates bottlenecks that delay service delivery.

Automation captures intake data directly from forms, validates it for completeness, generates personalized service agreements, and routes them for e-signature. The result is faster onboarding, fewer data errors, and a complete audit trail.

Key features:
Capture intake form responses automatically and validate all required fields in real time
Generate personalized service agreements populated with client details and service selections
Route agreements for electronic signature without printing or manual handling
Eliminate manual data re-entry by syncing validated client information to your facility system
Track onboarding status and completion in a centralized dashboard
Notify the care team automatically when a client is ready for service

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Client Inquiry Receivedtrigger

Prospective client submits contact form or calls the facility. The automation is triggered by a new inquiry in the intake system.

2. Send Guided Intake Form

An automated email with a link to a guided intake form is sent to the prospective client. The form captures all required fields: personal details, medical history, emergency contacts, service preferences, and consent checkboxes.

3. Validate and Enrich Data

The intake reviews the submitted form data for completeness and accuracy, flags any missing required fields, and enriches the record with standardised information.

4. Generate Service Agreement

A personalised service agreement is automatically generated from a template, populated with the client's details, selected service type, and facility terms.

5. Send Agreement for E-signature

The generated agreement is sent to the client for electronic signature. A reminder is automatically sent if the document is not signed within 3 days.

6. Create Client Record

Once the agreement is signed, all intake data is automatically written to the client record, creating a complete onboarded client profile.

7. Notify Care Team

An automated notification is sent to the care team via email with the client's details and service start date, triggering the next phase of service delivery.
