How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Placement Createdtrigger

A placement record is created with candidate name, client, start date, and guarantee period. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Extract Placement Data

The automation reads placement details and calculates the rebate expiry date by adding the guarantee period to the start date.

3. Log to Tracking Sheet

Placement record, candidate name, client, start date, and expiry date are automatically written to a Google Sheet for audit and reporting.

4. Schedule Deadline Alerts

The automation schedules notifications to the finance team at 14 days before expiry and again at 7 days before expiry to prompt action.

5. Monitor Candidate Status

The automation monitors and email for candidate departure signals, cross-referencing placement records with recruitment team updates and client feedback to identify early leavers.

6. Generate Rebate Claim

When a candidate departure is confirmed, the automation generates a rebate claim with placement details, candidate name, departure date, and rebate amount, formatted for client submission.

7. Send Claim via Email

The rebate claim is automatically sent to the client with a tracking reference and request for confirmation of receipt.

8. Record

Once the rebate is received, the automation logs the transaction as a credit and updates the Google Sheet to mark the claim as closed.
