Document Collection & Verification

Q: Do borrowers need to use a special portal to upload documents?

No. Borrowers submit documents via email as they normally would.

Q: What happens if a document is missing or invalid?

The system flags missing or invalid documents and automatically sends a follow-up request to the borrower. Your team can review exceptions and override the system if needed for unusual cases.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing tools?

Yes. The automation integrates with Gmail, Google Drive, Airtable, DocuSign, and Slack.

Q: How much manual work remains after automation?

Your team handles exceptions, unusual document types, and borrower disputes. Routine document collection, organization, and verification become fully automated, freeing staff to focus on relationship building and complex cases.

Keep every finance deal moving by automating document requests, reminders, and verification checks from application to approval.

About This Automation

Document collection and verification is the process of requesting, receiving, and validating all required paperwork from borrowers for loan applications. Manual handling creates delays, scattered files, and frequent errors that slow underwriting and frustrate borrowers.

Automation generates dynamic checklists, monitors incoming documents, validates completeness and accuracy, and notifies the lending team when files are ready. The result is faster turnaround, fewer follow-up requests, and fewer errors.

Key features:

Generate dynamic document checklists based on loan type and borrower profile

Monitor email and document uploads automatically without daily manual checking

Validate document completeness, borrower name, and file format instantly

Organize and store verified documents in a centralized location

Flag missing or invalid documents and trigger follow-up requests

Notify the lending team when all documents are verified and ready

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Loan Application Submittedtrigger

A new loan application enters the system and is marked for document collection. The automation is triggered with the borrower details and loan type.

2. Generate Document Checklist

The automation reads the loan type and borrower profile, then generates the required document list based on lending criteria rules.

3. Send Secure Document Request

A personalized email with a secure document upload link is sent to the borrower, including the checklist and a deadline.

4. Monitor Uploads

The automation monitors the document portal and for new uploads from the borrower, checking for file arrival and basic metadata.

5. Verify Document Completeness

The automation opens each uploaded file, validates it against the checklist (borrower name, document type, date, file integrity), and flags any gaps or errors.

6. All Documents Valid?

The system checks whether all required documents have been received and passed verification.

7. Send Follow-up Request

If documents are missing or invalid, an automated email is sent to the borrower listing the gaps and requesting resubmission.

8. Notify Lending Team

Once all documents are verified and complete, a notification is sent to the lending team with a summary and a link to the verified file.
