About This Automation

Outcome and fee billing ties a settlement notice to a contingency fee calculation, a retainer check, and a client invoice. Handled manually, it drags across several people and tools, creating delays and calculation errors that surface after the invoice is already sent.

The automated version reads the settlement notice, applies the correct fee tier and retainer terms, and produces the invoice for review. Only exceptions above a set threshold need a human look, so invoices go out the same day instead of within a week.

Key features
Extract settlement amounts and claim details directly from incoming notifications
Apply the correct contingency fee tier automatically based on client terms
Check calculated fees against retainer caps and minimums before invoicing
Route only exception cases above a set threshold for manual approval
Generate and send itemized invoices without manual drafting
Update the claim tracker automatically once payment is logged

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Settlement Email Receivedtrigger

The automation platform watches the claims inbox for carrier settlement confirmations and starts the workflow automatically.

2. Extract Settlement Details

The automation parses the notice to pull the claim ID, settlement amount, and carrier reference.

3. Pull Fee Schedule And Contract Terms

The workflow fetches the client's retainer terms and applicable fee tier fee schedule.

4. Calculate Fee Owed

The automation applies the tiered percentage, minimums, and caps to compute the exact fee due on the settlement.

5. Manager Reviews Flagged Fee

If the calculated fee exceeds the auto-approval threshold, a alert routes it to the finance manager for a quick check.

6. Create Invoice

An approved fee calculation automatically generates an itemized invoice.

7. Send Invoice To Client

The invoice and settlement summary are emailed to the client automatically.

8. Update Claim Record

The claim tracker is updated to show the invoice as sent and awaiting payment.
