About This Automation

Vendor reporting requires agents to manually track active transactions, gather vendor contact information, draft custom emails, monitor responses over several days, and compile data into client reports.

Automation handles vendor outreach, response collection, and report generation end-to-end. Personalized emails go out instantly, responses are captured and parsed automatically, and branded client reports are ready within hours instead of days.

Key features:
Draft personalized vendor request emails automatically based on transaction type and vendor role
Monitor incoming vendor responses and extract key dates, status, and notes without manual data entry
Flag late or missing vendor responses and trigger automatic follow-up reminders
Compile vendor data into a structured format ready for reporting
Generate branded, formatted client reports from vendor data and transaction details

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Transaction marked activetrigger

A transaction status changes to active or a scheduled update window opens. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Fetch transaction and vendor data

The automation retrieves the transaction details and vendor contact list, including all linked vendors and their email addresses.

3. Generate and send vendor requests

The automation drafts personalized vendor request emails based on transaction type and vendor role, then sends them with a tracked deadline.

4. Monitor vendor replies

The automation monitors the inbox for vendor responses, logs them, and sends automatic follow-up reminders to non-responders after 3 days.

5. Compile vendor data

Vendor responses are automatically parsed and organized into a Google Sheet, extracting key dates, status, and notes without manual copying.

6. Generate client report

The automation creates a formatted, branded client report from the compiled vendor data and transaction details, ready to send.

7. Send report and update CRM

The report is sent to the client, logged, and the transaction record is updated with the latest status and next steps.
