About This Automation

Training and certification tracking requires HR to manually scan spreadsheets, identify expiring credentials, and chase employees for renewal proof. This manual process is error-prone and consumes significant time each month.

Automation monitors all certifications, sends timely renewal reminders, validates submitted documents, and updates records automatically. The result is accurate tracking, zero missed deadlines, and hours reclaimed for strategic HR work.

Key features
Monitor all employee certifications and automatically flag those expiring within 30 days
Compose and send personalized renewal reminder emails to employees based on their certification type and deadline
Validate submitted certificates and proof documents, extracting renewal dates and flagging unclear submissions for review
Update certification records automatically once valid proof is received and approved
Generate monthly compliance reports showing current status, expiring certifications, and any gaps

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Certification Expiry Checktrigger

The automation platform checks the training database daily to identify certifications expiring within 30 days or already expired.

2. Fetch Employee & Certification Data

The system retrieves employee contact details and certification records from the central database or spreadsheet.

3. Compose Renewal Reminder

The automation drafts personalized renewal reminder emails with the employee name, certification type, and deadline, ready for review.

4. Send Reminder

The automation sends the reminder email to the employee and logs the send date in the system.

5. Create Calendar Event

A follow-up calendar event is created for the HR team to check for responses one week before expiry.

6. Process Renewal Submissions

When an employee replies with proof, the automation validates the document and extracts the new expiry date.

7. Update Training Records

The new expiry date and renewal status are automatically updated in the master spreadsheet and employee record.

8. Generate Compliance Report

A monthly compliance report is automatically generated and sent to management, showing all current, expiring, and expired certifications.
