What this workflow does

Collecting documents is one of those processes that sounds simple but consumes enormous time. You need ten documents from a vendor, a student, or a new hire. They submit seven. You follow up. They send two more. One is the wrong format. You follow up again.

The Document Collection & Checklist workflow eliminates this back-and-forth. You define what's needed, the workflow tracks what's been submitted, the Compliance Worker flags what's missing, and the Follow-up Worker chases the gaps — so your team doesn't have to.

How it works, step by step

1
Checklist created
Define the required documents and information for the process — what's needed, in what format, and by when.
2
Documents submitted
The requester uploads documents via the workflow, email, or WhatsApp. Each submission is tracked against the checklist automatically.
3
AI verifies completeness AI
The Compliance Worker checks whether all required items in the checklist have been submitted. If anything is missing, it flags the gaps.
4
Missing items followed up AI
The Follow-up Worker sends the submitter a reminder listing exactly which documents are still needed — with context and a deadline.
5
Checklist marked complete
Once all documents are verified and present, the checklist is marked complete and the workflow moves to the next stage.
