Contractor and freelancer management involves receiving hire requests, creating records, collecting compliance documents, processing invoices, routing approvals, and tracking renewals.
Automation captures contractor data from incoming emails, syncs records across systems, routes invoices for approval with status tracking, and sends reminders for expiring documents and contracts. The result is faster onboarding, fewer data errors, and contractors paid on time.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Automation is triggered when a new contractor record is created or when an invoice email arrives.
Contractor details are automatically logged as a contact with role, rate, start date, and status fields populated.
A standardised email template is automatically sent to the contractor requesting W-9, tax form, and insurance certificate with a deadline.
Invoice data is automatically extracted from the email and a bill record is created with amount, date, and contractor details pre-filled.
An approval request is automatically posted, tagging the hiring manager or finance lead with invoice details and a one-click approve button.
Once approved, payment is automatically scheduled for the contractor's preferred method (ACH, check, or PayPal) on the agreed date.
A payment confirmation email is automatically sent to the contractor with amount, date, and reference number.
Contractor compliance status is automatically updated, and a reminder is set for document renewal or contract expiry 30 days before the deadline.
