Case Intake & Onboarding

Q: Can the automation handle clients who need to verify their identity in person?

Automation validates documents and flags those requiring in-person verification. Your compliance team reviews flagged cases and schedules in-person verification as needed before case activation.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing CRM and payment tools?

Yes, the automation integrates with mainstream CRM platforms and payment processors. Your team will configure the specific connections during setup based on your current tools.

Q: What if a client inquiry comes through a phone call instead of the online form?

Your intake coordinator can manually enter the client information into the form or system, and the automation takes over from there. The system is flexible enough to handle mixed intake channels.

Q: How does the automation decide which specialist gets assigned to a case?

Automation routes cases based on rules you define, such as specialist availability, current workload, or expertise area. Your operations team sets these rules during configuration and can adjust them anytime.

Turn a slow, paper-heavy intake process into a structured client record ready for dispute work on day one.

About This Automation

Case intake and onboarding at credit repair firms involves manually collecting client information, verifying documents, and setting up case records across multiple tools. This manual process creates delays, data entry errors, and keeps clients waiting days before their case is activated.

Automation captures client data through intelligent forms, validates documents in real time, and creates case records automatically. Clients move from inquiry to active case on the same day, and the team reclaims hours spent on repetitive data entry and verification.

Key features:

Capture client intake data through intelligent forms that validate completeness before submission

Automatically verify document uploads against required checklists and flag missing items

Create case records in your CRM with zero manual re-entry of client information

Route cases to available specialists based on current workload and capacity

Send welcome and onboarding confirmations automatically once a case is activated

Process initial payments and log confirmations without manual intervention

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Submits Intake Formtrigger

New client completes intake form. Form submission triggers the automation workflow.

2. Extract and Validate Data

Automation extracts form responses, validates required fields, and checks for completeness. Missing or invalid data is flagged for manual review.

3. Request Missing Documents

If documents are incomplete, automation sends a templated email to the client listing missing items and requesting resubmission.

4. Create Contact and Case

Validated client data is automatically created as a contact and case record with all details pre-populated.

5. Process Initial Payment

Automation sends a payment link to the client and records payment confirmation once received.

6. Assign Case to Specialist

Automation assigns the case to the next available specialist based on workload and sends them a notification with case details.

7. Send Onboarding Confirmation

Automation sends a personalized welcome email to the client with case summary, next steps, and specialist contact information.
