Q: What happens to our existing filing records and prior year data?

Populate jurisdiction-specific filing templates with accurate information and formatting

Verify all required fields are completed before submission

Route completed filings to clients for review and approval

Track submission status and log confirmation details in your filing calendar

Archive completed filings for audit and compliance records

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Filing Deadline Alert Triggeredtrigger

The automation platform monitors the filing calendar and triggers when a deadline is 30 days away. The client entity ID and jurisdiction are passed to the next step.

2. Fetch Client Data

The automation retrieves the client entity record, including officer names, registered address, and the latest financial summary.

3. Populate Filing Document

The automation uses the retrieved data to populate the jurisdiction-specific filing template, inserting all required fields automatically.

4. Send to Attorney for Review

The completed filing is emailed to the assigned senior attorney with a request for approval or corrections.

5. Notify Client via Email

Once the attorney approves, the automation sends the filing to the client contact for final sign-off.

6. Log Filing Submission

After client approval, the automation updates the filing calendar with the submission date and next due date, completing the cycle.
