About This Automation

Acquisition contract condition tracking requires legal teams to manually extract conditions from signed contracts, assign them to vendors, monitor incoming satisfaction proof, and chase overdue updates across email and spreadsheets.

Automation extracts conditions from contracts, monitors incoming proof documents, updates status in real time, sends deadline alerts, and generates verification checklists at close. Legal teams focus on review and risk assessment instead of data entry and email chasing.

Key features:
Extract conditions and deadlines from acquisition contracts automatically
Monitor incoming emails and documents to match satisfaction proof to conditions
Send real-time deadline alerts and chase reminders to responsible parties
Compile weekly status summaries and send to deal team and stakeholders
Generate condition verification checklists and flag unsatisfied or waived conditions at close

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Contract Uploaded to Deal Trackertrigger

A signed acquisition contract is uploaded or recorded as a new deal. The automation is triggered by the file arrival or deal creation event.

2. Extract Conditions via the automation

The automation reads the contract PDF, identifies all conditions, contingencies, deadlines, and responsible parties, and structures them as a JSON payload. the automation flags any ambiguous or missing deadlines for human review.

3. Create Condition Record

The automation creates a linked record for each condition, including condition name, deadline, owner, and status. The record is linked to the parent deal and contract.

4. Send Assignment Notification

The automation sends a message to the assigned condition owner (surveyor, appraiser, title company, lender) with the deadline, condition details, and a link for status updates.

5. Monitor Email for Satisfaction Proof

The automation monitors for incoming emails from known vendors and parties. When an email arrives that matches a condition owner and contains keywords like 'appraisal', 'inspection', 'title', or 'approval', it extracts the document and updates the condition record.

6. Trigger Deadline Alerts & Chase Reminders

The automation checks each condition daily. If a deadline is within 3 days and status is not satisfied, it sends a reminder to the owner and legal team. If a deadline has passed, it escalates the alert.

7. Compile & Send Weekly Status Report

Every Monday, the automation queries for all active conditions across open deals, generates a summary report (satisfied, pending, overdue, waived), and sends it via email to the deal team, lenders, and stakeholders.

8. Generate Deal Close Condition Verification

When a deal is marked ready to close, the automation generates a condition verification checklist, flags any unsatisfied or waived conditions with risk notes, and sends it to legal for final sign-off.
