How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Report Receivedtrigger

A fire safety inspection report is uploaded or emailed to the system. The automation extracts defect data from the PDF or email attachment.

2. Parse Defect Data

The automation reads the inspection report, identifies each defect, and extracts location, description, severity, regulatory deadline, and any assigned contractor.

3. Log Defects to Tracking Sheet

Extracted defects are automatically written with all details, creating a single source of truth for all open items.

4. Match Contractor and Send Request

The system looks up the responsible contractor, drafts a remediation request email with defect details and deadline, and sends it.

5. Schedule Weekly Status Reminders

Automated reminders are sent to contractors every 5 days until the defect is marked complete, reducing manual follow-up calls and emails.

6. Flag Overdue Defects

The system checks each defect's deadline daily and automatically posts an alert if the deadline is within 3 days or has passed.

7. Receive and Validate Evidence

When a contractor submits remediation photos or completion certificates via email, the system logs them to the defect record and notifies the Facilities Manager for final approval.

8. Update Status and Archive

Once approved, the defect status is marked complete, evidence is stored, and a completion confirmation is sent to the contractor.
