About This Automation

Document and evidence production requires compliance teams to manually collect, organize, and track client documents across multiple emails and folders. This manual coordination creates delays, lost files, and repeated follow-up requests that consume weeks per engagement.

Automation captures documents directly from email, validates them, organizes them into the correct folder structure, and updates tracking records in real time. The compliance team receives a complete, verified evidence pack ready for review within days instead of weeks.

Key features
Capture documents automatically from incoming client emails and extract file metadata
Validate file types, detect corrupted or suspicious files, and flag issues for manual review
Organize documents into folder structures and apply naming conventions without manual intervention
Update tracking records in real time as documents arrive and are processed
Generate a complete evidence pack with table of contents when all documents are received
Eliminate manual follow-up emails by tracking missing documents automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Engagement Approvedtrigger

A new compliance engagement is marked as approved in the project management system or a document request list is created.

2. Send Document Request via Email

The automation sends a templated document request email to the client contact address, including the list of required documents, deadlines, and submission instructions.

3. Monitor Email Inbox

The automation monitors the shared inbox for incoming emails from the client and extracts attachments as they arrive.

4. Extract and Validate Documents

The automation reviews each attachment, validates the file type and size, extracts metadata, and checks the document against the required list.

5. Organize Files

The automation moves validated files to the correct folder, renames them according to the firm's naming convention, and creates a folder structure by category.

6. Update Tracking Record

The automation updates an record to log each received document, including the date, file name, category, and status.

7. Flag Missing Documents

The automation compares received documents against the required list and sends a notification to the manager listing any outstanding items.

8. Generate Evidence Pack Summary

Once all documents are received or the deadline passes, the automation generates a summary report in PDF format listing all documents, their locations, and any gaps.
