About This Automation

Corporate action and provider notices arrive constantly via email and portals, requiring manual scanning, extraction, logging, and routing to the right team member. Manual handling creates delays, duplicates, and missed deadlines that expose the firm to compliance risk.

Automation captures every notice, extracts key details instantly, routes it to the correct owner, and maintains a complete audit trail. The team focuses on execution rather than administrative overhead.

Key features:
Monitor email and provider portals continuously for incoming notices without manual scanning
Extract action type, deadline, account, and provider details automatically from unstructured notice text
Route notices to the correct owner based on account, action type, and team rules in real time
Log all notice metadata in a centralized system with no duplicate entry
Track completion status and maintain a searchable audit trail for compliance

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Notice Arrives in Email or Portaltrigger

Automation monitors inbox and secure provider portals for new corporate action or provider notices. Trigger fires when a new message matches notice keywords or arrives in a monitored folder.

2. Extract Notice Data

The automation reads the notice content and extracts key fields: action type, account number, deadline, required steps, and provider name. Stores extracted data in a structured format.

3. Log Notice

Create a new record with extracted notice details, including custom fields for action type, deadline, and account. Link to the original notice document.

4. Route to Responsible Owner

The automation applies routing rules based on account, action type, and team assignment to identify the correct owner. Assign the record to that person.

5. Send Notification

Send a formatted message to the assigned owner with notice summary, deadline, and a link. Include action checklist if applicable.

6. Owner Completes Action

Owner reviews the notice, executes the required action (form submission, acknowledgement, etc.), and updates the record status to completed with notes.

7. Archive and Confirm

Automation stores the original notice and any confirmation documents in a timestamped folder, and updates the record with completion date and archive link.
