3. To facilitate automated compliance tracking by documenting notification events for audit purposes in legal and governmental environments.

Trigger Conditions

2. Change in payment status registered in the case management or auction platform.

3. Automated scheduled reconciliation detects pending or overdue payments.

4. Automated batch process detects failed or reversed transactions.
