About This Automation
Compliance and certification records must be tracked, stored, and monitored to meet regulatory requirements and customer demands. Manual extraction, storage, and expiration tracking consume significant time and introduce errors that risk audit failures and product liability.
Automation captures incoming compliance documents, extracts key data automatically, stores records in a centralized database, and monitors expiration dates with daily alerts. The result is accurate, current compliance records and faster audit preparation.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Workflow is triggered when an email arrives in the monitored inbox with an attachment or document link from a known supplier.
The automation reads the attachment, identifies the document type, and extracts product SKU, certification type, issue date, and expiration date.
Extracted SKU is looked up in the product database to confirm product name, category, and existing certification records.
System compares the new document against existing records to detect duplicates or superseded versions.
Certified document is saved in a standardized folder structure with a consistent naming convention.
New certification record is created or existing record is updated with all extracted metadata and document link.
Relevant team members are notified with a summary of the new certification, including product, type, and expiration date.
