Bulk document upload and classification

Purpose

1. Automates the bulk uploading, digital sorting, and classification of compliance documents for police officers’ housing under government mandates.

2. Automates cross-checking of document completeness, tag assignment by document type (lease, ID, approvals), and routing to proper stakeholders for compliance verifications.

3. Enhances compliance readiness through automated document collation, archiving, and real-time report generation with auditable trails.

4. Facilitates automated notification workflows for missing, expiring, or non-conforming documents, improving housing project regulatory adherence.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatedly triggered by file drops in monitored cloud folders (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive).

2. Automates on scheduled basis (e.g., nightly batch uploads) or by upload via web/app portal by housing admins.

3. Email attachments arriving in dedicated compliance inboxes auto-trigger classification.

4. API/webhook post requests from third-party applicant management software initiate automation.
