How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Advice Submitted for Reviewtrigger

Advisor marks recommendation as ready or submits via a form. The automation detects the submission and begins routing.

2. Identify Correct Reviewer

The automation reads the recommendation metadata (product type, client profile, advisor level) and matches it to the correct senior advisor or compliance officer using firm rules.

3. Create Review Task

The automation creates a review task record with the recommendation details, deadline, and assigned reviewer, making it visible to all stakeholders.

4. Notify Reviewer

A message is sent to the assigned reviewer with a link to the recommendation, the deadline, and a button to approve or request changes.

5. Approved?

The automation waits for the reviewer's response. If approved, it proceeds to signature. If changes are requested, it loops back to the advisor.

6. Request Digital Signature

Once approved, the recommendation is automatically sent for the reviewer to sign. The signed document is returned and stored.

7. Log Approval

The automation records the approval date, reviewer name, signature timestamp, and any feedback for compliance audit trails.

8. Notify Advisor and Send to Client

A notification alerts the advisor that the recommendation is signed and ready. The advisor then sends it to the client.
