About This Automation

Scope change requests arrive through multiple channels and require manual assessment, routing, and approval tracking. This fragmented process causes delays, lost context, and approval bottlenecks that slow project delivery.

Automation captures requests from all sources, assesses impact using historical data, routes to the right approvers, and consolidates decisions with a complete audit trail. Changes move through approval in days instead of weeks.

Key features
Capture scope change requests from email and messaging platforms with automatic detail extraction
Assess change impact and effort using historical project data and predefined rules
Route approval requests to the correct stakeholders based on change size and type
Track approval responses and send automated reminders to non-responders
Consolidate decisions and update project records with approved changes
Maintain a timestamped audit trail of all requests, assessments, and approvals

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Scope Change Receivedtrigger

A new email arrives in the project inbox or a message is posted to the change-requests channel, triggering the workflow.

2. Extract Request Details

The automation reads the email or message, extracts the change description, requester, and any attachments, and structures the data.

3. Assess Impact and Route

The automation calculates effort hours, cost impact, and determines the approval chain based on change size and type rules.

4. Log to Tracking Sheet

The structured request is written with a unique ID, status, and impact summary.

5. Send Approval Requests

Approval requests are sent to the designated approvers with the full change summary and a deadline.

6. Monitor and Escalate

The automation tracks responses and sends reminders to approvers who have not responded after 2 days.

7. Update Project and Notify

Once all approvals are collected, the project record is updated and stakeholders are notified with the final decision.
