About This Automation

Collecting client documents and fact-find answers requires chasing paperwork across scattered email threads while manually tracking who has responded. Missing items, inconsistent file names, and repeated follow-up emails slow down onboarding and delay adviser review.

An automated version sends checklists and questionnaires, matches incoming files against requirements, and chases only what is missing. Completed files are organized, logged, and the adviser is notified automatically once everything is ready.

Key features
Sends document checklists and fact-find questionnaires automatically when a new client is added
Matches incoming attachments against the required document list
Chases only the specific missing items instead of resending full checklists
Renames and files completed documents into the correct client folder
Updates the client record with document and fact-find status in real time
Notifies the adviser automatically once the file is complete and ready for review
