About This Automation

Scope change requests arrive via multiple channels and require manual documentation, approver identification, and follow-up to collect sign-offs. This fragmented process causes delays, missed approvals, and significant administrative overhead for project managers.

Automation extracts change details from incoming requests, routes them to the correct approvers based on impact rules, tracks responses, and sends reminders to non-responders. All approvals are consolidated and the project status is updated automatically once sign-off is complete.

Key features
Extract scope change details automatically from email and form submissions
Identify required approvers based on budget, timeline, and scope impact rules
Route approval requests to stakeholders with a single consolidated notification
Track approval responses and send reminders to non-responders
Consolidate all decisions and update project status when approvals are complete
Notify the team automatically once a scope change is approved

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Scope Change Submittedtrigger

A scope change request is submitted via email or a web form. The automation captures the request details and initiates the workflow.

2. Parse Change Details

The automation extracts the scope change description, impact, cost, and requestor from the incoming message and structures the data.

3. Identify Approvers

The automation queries a rules table to determine which stakeholders must approve based on budget threshold, project type, or scope category.

4. Create Change Record

A new task is created with all change details, linked to the project, and assigned to the approval workflow.

5. Send Approval Requests

Personalized approval requests are sent to each identified approver via email with a direct link task and a clear approval deadline.

6. Monitor Approvals

The automation tracks approval status and sends automated reminders to approvers who have not responded after 24 hours.

7. Notify Team of Decision

Once all approvals are collected, a notification is sent and the project team confirming the scope change is approved and ready to implement.
