About This Automation

Change requests arrive through multiple channels and require manual logging, routing, and assessment before a decision reaches the client. This fragmented workflow causes delays, lost requests, and inconsistent approval timelines.

Automation captures all incoming requests in a single system, routes them to the right approver based on project type, and compiles impact assessments automatically. Clients receive decisions within hours instead of days.

Key features
Capture change requests from email, web forms, and chat in a unified inbox
Route requests to the appropriate approver based on project and change type
Estimate effort, timeline, and impact using historical project data
Document approval decisions and conditions in a single record
Notify clients and teams of decisions with full impact details
Create project tasks automatically for approved changes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Change Request Receivedtrigger

A new change request arrives via email, web form, or and is captured by the automation platform.

2. Log Request

The request is automatically parsed and logged as a new deal or ticket, with client, project, and description fields populated.

3. Assess Impact & Route

The automation reviews the request, estimates effort and cost impact based on project history and scope rules, and routes it to the appropriate approver.

4. Notify Approver

A message is sent to the assigned approver with the request details, impact estimate, and a link to review and approve.

5. Await Approver Decision

The automation waits for the approver to record their decision (approve, reject, or request clarification).

6. Notify Client

An email is sent to the client with the decision, impact summary, and next steps.

7. Create Task

If approved, a new task is automatically created with the change details, assigned to the project manager, and linked to the client project.

8. Alert Team

A notification is posted to the project channel confirming the approval and providing the task link and deadline.
