How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Report Receivedtrigger

Automation detects a new email in the agency inbox with an inspection report attachment or a message containing inspection data.

2. Extract Report Data

The automation reads the report, identifies the property, inspection type, cost, condition rating, and contractor name, then structures the data.

3. Match Property Record

The automation queries to find the matching property record using address, property ID, or contractor reference, and confirms the match.

4. Log Inspection

The automation creates or updates an inspection record, linking it to the property and storing cost, condition, and contractor details.

5. Create Draft Invoice Entry

The automation creates a draft bill with the inspection cost, property asset code, and expense category, ready for the bookkeeper to approve.

6. Flag Budget Variance

If the cost exceeds the property's maintenance budget, the automation adds a note entry and sends a alert to the finance team.

7. Notify Team

The automation sends a message to the operations and finance channels with a summary of the inspection, cost, and any urgent repair flags.
