Purpose
1. Ensure all animal control regulatory submissions are complete, accurate, and compliant with local, state, or federal standards.
2. Reduce manual review workload and prevent data-entry errors in public safety compliance reports.
3. Automate cross-field logic and validation against required schemas, deadlines, and format standards per compliance protocols.
4. Enable immediate feedback or corrective action when submissions do not meet regulatory requirements.
5. Enhance audit readiness with automated logs of all submission checks and outcomes.
Trigger Conditions
1. New regulatory report or data entry created in electronic reporting system.
2. Scheduled submission deadline approached (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly reporting cycle).
3. Manual “Submit for review” action by staff in public safety agency portal.
4. Receipt of submission via email or SFTP inbound feed.
5. Upload of data report document to compliance folder in cloud storage.
Platform Variants
1. Microsoft Power Automate
