About This Automation

RFI and technical query management involves receiving, logging, routing, and answering client requests for information or clarification on engineering projects.

Automation captures incoming queries, identifies the best engineer based on expertise and workload, routes the request, and formats responses for client delivery. The result is faster turnaround, fewer lost queries, and a complete audit trail.

Key features
Capture incoming RFIs from email, messaging, and web forms into a central system automatically
Route queries to the right engineer based on expertise keywords, project assignment, and current availability
Format and review engineer responses for completeness and tone before client delivery
Log all query details and resolutions in a searchable database with full audit trail
Send final responses to clients and track delivery status

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. RFI or Query Receivedtrigger

Email arrives in the shared inbox, message posted to the query channel, or web form submitted. The automation captures the sender, subject, body, and timestamp.

2. Extract and Log Query

Automation extracts sender, subject, deadline, and project code from the message and logs it to a central record with a unique ID and timestamp.

3. Route to Right Engineer

The automation analyzes the query content and matches it to the engineer or team with the right expertise and lowest current workload team data.

4. Notify Engineer

Automation sends a message to the assigned engineer with the full query, deadline, and a link for tracking.

5. Log Response

Once the engineer replies, automation captures the response, timestamps it, and updates the record with the answer and resolution date.

6. Send Response to Client

Automation formats the engineer's answer and sends it to the original sender via email with a confirmation request.

7. Update Task

Automation creates or updates an task for the resolved RFI, marking it complete and logging the turnaround time for reporting.
