About This Automation

Change requests arrive via multiple channels and require manual logging, document updates, and email-based approval chasing. This scattered approach creates version conflicts, delays approvals, and leaves audit trails incomplete.

Automation captures incoming requests, updates requirements documents with version control, and orchestrates approvals across stakeholders. The result is a single source of truth, faster turnaround, and a complete audit trail.

Key features

Capture change requests from email and web forms and extract key details automatically

Update requirements documents with version control and maintain a change log

Route approval requests to designated stakeholders and track responses in real time

Consolidate approvals and notify development and QA teams of approved changes

Create or update project tasks with scope changes and assign them to team members

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Change Request Receivedtrigger

A new change request arrives via email or form submission. The automation detects the incoming message and extracts the key details (requester, description, impact, priority).

2. Log Change in Tracking Sheet

The automation creates a new row in the Google Sheet with the change request ID, description, requester, date, and initial status. A unique tracking ID is generated.

3. Update Requirements Document

The automation identifies the affected section of the requirements document and appends the change details to a dedicated change log. The original scope section is marked with a version note.

4. Route Approval Request

The automation sends a structured approval request via email to the designated approvers (client contact, technical lead, finance contact) with a clear summary and a link to the updated document.

5. Monitor Approval Responses

The automation tracks email replies and reactions from approvers. When all required approvals are received, it updates the tracking sheet status to Approved.

6. Notify Team

The automation sends a message to the development and QA channels with the approved change, updated acceptance criteria, and any timeline adjustments.

7. Create Task

The automation creates a new task with the change details, assigns it to the relevant team member based on the change type, and sets the due date based on the project timeline.
