About This Automation

Application review and decision-making at foundations involves manually extracting data from submissions, scoring against eligibility criteria, and routing to decision-makers. Manual processes create bottlenecks, inconsistent scoring, and delayed audit trails.

Automation extracts application data from multiple formats, applies scoring rules consistently, and routes applications to the correct reviewer automatically. Decision-makers receive complete, pre-scored applications with full audit documentation.

Key features
Extract structured data from applications in any format (email, PDF, web form) with automatic flagging of missing fields
Apply consistent scoring rules based on your eligibility criteria without manual calculation errors
Route applications automatically to the correct decision-maker based on score thresholds
Maintain a complete timestamped audit trail of every scoring and routing decision
Send templated notifications to applicants with personalized details from their submission

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Application Submittedtrigger

A new application arrives via email or form submission. The automation platform detects it and extracts the submission data.

2. Parse and Extract Data

The automation reads the application (email attachment, form fields, or PDF) and extracts structured data (name, contact, loan amount, employment, credit score, etc.) using OCR or form parsing.

3. Score Application

The automation applies predefined scoring rules (income thresholds, credit ranges, employment status) and calculates a risk or eligibility score. The result is logged with the rule applied.

4. Route Based on Score

The automation routes the application to the correct decision-maker or queue based on the score. High-scoring applications go to fast-track, mid-range to standard review, low-scoring to rejection queue.

5. Notify Decision-Maker

The automation sends a or email notification to the assigned approver with a summary, score, and a link to the full application record.

6. Log Application Record

The automation creates or updates a record (or equivalent CRM) with all extracted data, score, routing decision, and timestamp for audit and compliance.

7. Send Applicant Notification

Once the decision-maker approves or rejects, the automation sends a templated email to the applicant with the outcome and next steps.
