Case Intake & Onboarding

Q: What happens if a client doesn't provide all required information?

The automation validates completeness and prompts the client to fill any gaps before the case is created. This prevents incomplete cases from entering the system and reduces follow-up work.

Q: How does the system decide which case manager gets assigned a case?

The assignment engine evaluates case type, priority level, and each handler's current workload to route the case to the most appropriate available manager. This balances capacity and ensures cases reach the right specialist.

Q: Can documents be uploaded in any format?

Yes, the intake form accepts common document formats including PDFs, images, and Word files. Documents are automatically organized into the correct folder structure once uploaded.

Q: How quickly does the client receive confirmation after submitting intake?

Once the intake form is validated and the case is created, the client receives a confirmation email with the case number and next steps within minutes. The assigned handler is notified simultaneously.

Get every new claim logged, verified, and assigned to the right handler before the first coffee break.

About This Automation

Case intake and onboarding involves receiving client requests, conducting interviews, collecting documents, and entering data into the case system. Manual intake is slow, error-prone, and ties up case managers for hours each week on data entry and document filing.

Automation captures intake information through guided forms, validates completeness, organizes documents automatically, and assigns cases based on workload and type. Cases move from intake to assignment in hours instead of days.

Key features:

Capture intake information through guided web forms that prompt clients for all required details

Validate that all required fields and documents are complete before case creation

Automatically organize and file documents in the correct folder structure

Assign cases to handlers based on case type, priority, and current workload

Send confirmation notifications to clients and case handlers simultaneously

Create case records and client profiles without manual data re-entry

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Submits Intake Formtrigger

Client completes a guided intake form, providing personal details, case information, and document uploads in one session.

2. Validate Intake Data

Automation checks that all required fields are complete and document uploads are present. If any field is missing, the client is prompted to complete it before submission.

3. Create Case Record

Automation creates a new case record, populating client name, contact details, case type, and intake date from the form submission.

4. Organize Documents

Uploaded documents are automatically moved to a case-specific folder, named and organized by document type.

5. Assign Case to Handler

Automation assigns the case to the next available handler based on case type and current workload rules, updating the record.

6. Send Confirmation to Client

Automated email is sent to the client with case number, assigned handler name, and next steps.

7. Notify Handler

Handler receives a notification with case summary, client contact, and a link to the case file.
