Legal workflow automation

Document collection automation that stops the client email chase.

Law firm document collection automation sends the right request when a matter stage requires it, tracks whether the client uploaded the file, reminds them automatically on a schedule, and alerts staff only when a human needs to step in.

What gets built

01
Matter stage trigger

When a matter reaches the stage that requires documents, the workflow starts and generates the required document checklist for that matter type.

02
Secure upload request

Send the client a clear, branded email or SMS with a secure upload link and a specific list of what is needed.

03
Upload tracking

Monitor the upload destination and mark each document as received as files come in, updating the matter record automatically.

04
Automated reminders

Send follow-up messages on the configured schedule for any documents still missing, without staff needing to track it manually.

When a deadline approaches or a client has not responded after multiple reminders, alert the assigned paralegal or attorney so they can intervene.
