Client Updates & Status

Q: Will this work with our existing case management system?

The automation integrates with standard case management platforms through API connections. Your existing system and client portal continue to work as normal; the automation simply monitors milestones and distributes updates automatically.

Q: How does the system know which clients prefer which communication channels?

Client communication preferences are stored in a configuration file or spreadsheet that the automation references. You can update preferences anytime, and the system respects them for all future updates.

Q: What happens to updates that are sent; are they logged for compliance?

Every update is automatically logged as an activity record in the case file with timestamp and recipient information. This creates a complete audit trail for compliance and client service records.

Q: Can we use different templates for different types of transactions?

Yes, the automation matches templates to transaction stages and practice areas. You define which template applies to each milestone, and the system selects the right one automatically.

Clients get clear, timely updates at every stage of their matter without staff lifting a finger.

About This Automation

Client status updates in conveyancing require paralegals to manually check case milestones, draft personalized emails, and post updates across multiple channels. This repetitive work consumes significant time and creates inconsistencies in communication quality and timing.

Automation monitors transaction milestones, generates templated updates, and distributes them to clients via email and portal simultaneously. The paralegal reviews only the final message, reducing manual effort while ensuring every client receives timely, consistent updates.

Key features:

Monitor case milestones automatically and trigger updates when transaction status changes

Generate templated client messages based on case stage and client preferences

Distribute updates to email, client portal, and internal team channels in one action

Log all communications automatically in the case file for audit and compliance

Route updates for paralegal review before sending to maintain quality control
