Q6: What happens when a new document is uploaded for a party?
Automations are designed to be intuitive. When a new document is uploaded for a party, it automatically deactivates the Document Reminder automation for that particular party. For the Expiring Document Reminders, the system will cease sending notifications if the newly uploaded documents fall outside of the predetermined expiration window set in the automation. This ensures that the party will only receive relevant reminders.
