How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Credential Expiry Checktrigger

The automation runs daily and checks the master credential database for any technician whose licence, certification, or background check expires within 60 days or has already expired.

2. Identify At-Risk Technicians

The automation evaluates the expiry dates and credential status, flagging technicians who need renewal action and determining the urgency level (30 days, 60 days, or overdue).

3. Send Renewal Reminder

An automated email is sent to each at-risk technician with their specific credential details, expiry date, and instructions for renewal submission. A copy is logged in the system.

4. Monitor Email for Responses

The automation monitors the HR inbox for replies containing renewed documents. When a document is received, it is automatically extracted and stored in the credential repository.

5. Verify Document and Update Record

The automation reviews the renewed document for validity and authenticity, then updates the master credential record with the new expiry date and verification status.

6. Alert Non-Compliant Technicians

If a credential remains expired or missing after 30 days, a alert is sent to the HR manager and operations lead, flagging the technician as non-compliant and unable to work.

7. Generate Compliance Report

A monthly compliance report is automatically generated and sent to management, showing current status, at-risk technicians, and non-compliant staff.
