Settlement & Drawdown Coordination

Q: Does the automation handle different lender requirements?

Yes, the system stores lender-specific document checklists and submission formats, so each draw is validated and packaged according to that lender's exact requirements.

Q: Can the finance team still override or manually adjust a draw if needed?

Absolutely, the automation handles routine draws but allows manual intervention for exceptions or special cases that fall outside standard workflows.

Q: How does the system track lender responses?

The automation monitors the email inbox for lender replies, logs approval or rejection status, and alerts the team if no response arrives within a set timeframe, replacing manual email checking.

Q: Will existing draw records and historical data be affected?

No, the automation works with new draws going forward and can be configured to reference historical data for validation rules without altering past records.

Keep every settlement moving on time by automating the document chasing, drawdown scheduling, and lender updates that stall deals.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Draw Request Receivedtrigger

A new settlement draw request arrives via email or is created. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Extract & Log Request Details

The automation reads the email or record, extracts borrower name, loan amount, lender, and required documents, and logs them.

3. Check Document Completeness

The automation reviews the request and attached documents against the lender's checklist. It identifies any missing documents and generates a list.

4. All Documents Present?

If documents are incomplete, the automation sends a request to the broker. If complete, it proceeds to lender submission.

5. Request Missing Documents

An automated email is sent to the broker listing the missing documents and the deadline for submission.

6. Compile & Send to Lender

Once documents are complete, the automation compiles the package, generates a cover email, and sends it to the lender.

7. Monitor Lender Response

The automation monitors the lender's email inbox for approval or rejection. If no response within 24 hours, a reminder is sent to the administrator.

8. Record Approval & Notify Broker

Once lender approval is received, the automation updates, creates a journal entry, and sends a confirmation email to the broker.
