Auto-archiving communication threads for compliance

Purpose

1.1. Automate the ongoing capture, organization, and secure storage of all client communication threads—including emails, SMS, chat logs, and voice call transcripts—for full regulatory compliance, audit readiness, dispute resolution, and knowledge management across every channel used in furniture restoration service delivery.
1.2. Prevent loss of critical project-related conversations and ensure restoration records remain easily retrievable for legal requirements or customer service continuity.
1.3. Enable proof of communication, track revision history, and fulfill privacy, data retention, and documentation mandates for professionals overseeing client projects.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. When a conversation concludes (e.g., after a project update is delivered, or when a thread reaches inactivity threshold).
2.2. Upon flagged keywords indicating contractual closure (“approved,” “final,” “complete”).
2.3. Recurring schedule, e.g., nightly or weekly batch archival of all threads.
2.4. Manual tagging of a conversation for compliance or case closure.
2.5. When a client initiates data portability or records request.
