Client Updates & Status

Q: Can I customize the status email template to match my brand voice?

Yes. You define the email template once, including sections for client name, account details, approval milestones, and payment schedule.

Q: Will this work with my existing finance and CRM systems?

The automation connects to QuickBooks Online, HubSpot, and Gmail via secure API integrations. If you use different systems, the integration can be adapted to your specific tools.

Q: How much manual work remains after automation is live?

Your team handles only exceptions, such as flagged data issues or clients requesting additional details. Routine status updates run automatically, freeing support staff for higher-value interactions.

Q: How does the automation log communications for compliance and audit purposes?

Every status email sent is automatically logged in your CRM with timestamp, recipient, and content. This creates a complete audit trail without manual record-keeping.

Clients get timely, accurate deal status updates without brokers spending hours on manual emails and calls.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Status Request Receivedtrigger

A client submits a status request via email or the weekly update cycle is triggered. The automation platform detects the request and retrieves the client ID.

2. Fetch Account Data from QuickBooks

The automation queries for the client's loan amount, term, approval status, and next payment date using the client ID.

3. Retrieve Approval Status

The automation pulls the current approval stage, pending documents, and recent underwriting notes for the same client.

4. Generate Payment Schedule

The automation calculates or retrieves the payment schedule from QuickBooks and formats it as a table for inclusion in the email.

5. Compose and Send Email

The automation generates a personalised email using a template, inserts the client name, account details, approval status, and payment schedule, then sends it.

6. Log Update

The automation records the send date, email content summary, and next follow-up date contact record.

7. Send Confirmation

The automation posts a confirmation message listing the client name, update type, and send status for team visibility.
