How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Deliverable marked ready for reviewtrigger

A file is uploaded to the project folder and tagged as ready for internal review. The automation platform detects this event and initiates the workflow.

2. Look up required approvers

The automation queries the approval matrix stored based on the deliverable type and project details, returning the list of required reviewers and their contact information.

3. Create review request

The automation sends a structured review request message to each approver with a link to the deliverable, review instructions, and a deadline. Approvers can respond directly in the thread.

4. Monitor feedback and responses

The automation tracks responses and email, consolidating all feedback into a single record. the automation monitors for missing responses and flags approvers who have not yet reviewed.

5. Send reminder to pending approvers

If an approver has not responded within 24 hours, the automation sends a reminder with a link to the pending review.

6. Compile feedback summary

Once all approvals are received or the deadline passes, the automation consolidates feedback into a structured summary document and identifies any conflicting comments.

7. Notify team and client

The automation sends an email to the creative team and client with the approval status, consolidated feedback, and next steps.

8. Update project records

The automation updates the project record with the approval status, feedback summary, and revision deadline, and logs the event for client tracking.
