About This Automation

Tenant onboarding and screening involves receiving applications, collecting documents, running background checks, and preparing leases. Manual coordination across email, spreadsheets, and vendor portals creates delays, lost documents, and repeated follow-ups.

Automation captures applications, requests missing documents, submits to screening vendors, and prepares approval summaries without manual intervention. Tenants move in faster, staff spend less time on paperwork, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Key features
Automatically extract tenant data from applications and flag missing documents
Send templated document requests and track responses without manual follow-up
Submit complete applications to screening vendors and log results in real time
Generate approval summaries and lease documents ready for signature
Notify internal teams of move-in details and tenant information in one step
Archive all records and update status automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Application Receivedtrigger

Workflow triggers when a tenant submits an application via email or online form. Application details and attachments are captured automatically.

2. Extract & Validate Application Data

The automation parses application form, extracts tenant name, contact, employment, and income information. Flags missing required documents and generates a checklist.

3. Request Missing Documents via Email

Automated email sent to tenant listing any missing documents with a deadline. Email includes a link to upload documents directly.

4. Submit to Screening Vendor

Once all documents are received, application is automatically submitted to the screening vendor API. Submission is logged with timestamp.

5. Retrieve & Log Screening Results

Workflow polls screening vendor for results. When available, results are automatically logged and a summary is generated for manager review.

6. Manager Reviews & Approves

Property manager reviews screening results and makes final approval decision notification with approve/reject buttons. Decision is recorded.

7. Generate & Send Lease

Approved lease is automatically generated with tenant and property details, then sent to tenant for electronic signature. Signed lease is automatically filed.

8. Notify Team & Tenant

Message sent to maintenance, leasing, and accounting teams with tenant details and move-in date. Tenant receives move-in instructions and key pickup details via email.
