Lender Submission & Pipeline Tracking

Q: Can the automation handle status updates from lender portals, or only email?

The automation reads both email notifications and direct portal alerts, so it captures submissions and updates regardless of how the lender communicates.

Q: How often does the stalled deal monitor run, and what triggers an alert?

The monitor scans the pipeline daily and alerts the team to any submission without a status update in 5 or more days, giving loan officers time to follow up before deals fall through the cracks.

Q: Will existing pipeline data in the spreadsheet and CRM be affected when automation starts?

No, the automation works alongside existing records and updates them going forward; historical data remains intact and is not altered during setup.

Q: What happens if a lender sends a status update that contains conditional approval with special requirements?

The automation extracts the status, flags it as conditional, and logs the special requirements in the deal notes so loan officers can review and act on them immediately.

Keep every loan file moving by automating lender submissions, status chasing, and pipeline updates in one place.

About This Automation

Lenders submit applications and status updates via email and portal notifications, forcing loan officers to manually extract details, log them to a spreadsheet, and update the CRM in parallel. This dual-entry work creates delays, duplicates, and stalled deals that go unnoticed for days.

Automation reads incoming lender emails and portal alerts, extracts submission and status data, updates the CRM and pipeline in real time, and flags stalled deals daily. Loan officers spend minutes on follow-up instead of hours on data entry.

Key features:

Extract submission details and match them to the correct deal and client record

Update the CRM pipeline and spreadsheet in real time with no manual entry

Identify stalled submissions daily and alert the team to deals needing follow-up

Log all status changes with timestamps and notes for audit and compliance

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Lender submission or status email receivedtrigger

Automation detects incoming email from known lender addresses or lender portal notifications containing submission or status keywords.

2. Extract submission details via AI

The automation reads email or portal message and extracts lender name, loan amount, submission date, application ID, and status using natural language processing.

3. Check for duplicate submission

Automation queries to see if this lender and deal combination already exists in the pipeline. If found, it updates the existing record instead of creating a new one.

4. Create or update deal record

Automation creates a new deal or updates the existing deal with submission details, stage, and lender name.

5. Log to pipeline spreadsheet

Automation appends or updates the row with the same submission details for backup and reporting.

6. Notify team

Automation sends a formatted message to the team channel summarizing the submission or status change with key details.

7. Flag stalled deals daily

Automation runs a daily check on all open submissions, identifies any with no status update in 5+ days, and posts a summary for broker action.
