How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Visit Notes Submittedtrigger

Support worker sends visit notes via email, voice message, or form submission. The automation platform detects the incoming note and extracts the content.

2. Transcribe and Standardize

If notes are voice or handwritten, the automation platform transcribes them to text and standardizes formatting. Digital notes are cleaned and normalized.

3. Extract Key Details via the automation

The automation reads the full note and automatically extracts key details such as medication changes, safeguarding flags, behavioral incidents, and follow-up actions. These are tagged and categorized.

4. Match Client Record

The automation platform looks up the correct client record using the worker name, client identifier, or visit date. If multiple matches exist, the automation flags for manual review.

5. File Note

The formatted note is automatically inserted into the client's record with correct timestamps, worker attribution, and visit type.

6. Create Alerts and Tasks

Any flagged items such as safeguarding concerns or medication changes are automatically converted tasks or alerts assigned to the appropriate supervisor or manager.

7. Notify

If urgent alerts are detected, the automation sends a notification to the relevant team with a summary of the flag and a link to the client record.
