    Event-Driven Triggers

    Automations fire on real business events — new client created, case status changed, document uploaded, ERC end date approaching, task completed, factfind submitted. System-scheduled triggers handle daily checks and renewal reminders automatically.

    Automated Email & SMS

    Send personalised emails and SMS messages when triggers fire. Use merge tags like {{client.name}}, {{case.reference}}, and {{adviser.name}} for dynamic personalisation. Integrate with Email Studio templates for branded, professional communications.

    Automatic Task Creation

    Generate tasks with custom titles, descriptions, due date offsets, assignees, priorities, and statuses — ensuring follow-ups, compliance reviews, and client check-ins are created the moment they're needed. Zero manual intervention.

    Conditional Logic

    Add conditions to control when actions run. Skip emails for certain case types, only create tasks for specific advisers, or branch workflows based on client status — building intelligent automation that respects your firm's processes.

    Canvas-Based Builder

    Drag triggers and actions onto a visual canvas to design workflows. Connect nodes, inspect settings in the side panel, zoom and pan across complex automations — see your entire workflow at a glance without writing a single line of code.

    Scheduled Execution

    Choose whether actions fire immediately or are scheduled for later — send follow-up emails after a 3-day delay, create tasks 14 days before an ERC end date, or space out client communications over a nurture sequence.

    Multi-Action Workflows

    A single trigger can fire multiple actions — send an email AND create a task AND update a case status AND notify the adviser. Chain actions together to build comprehensive workflows that handle entire processes.

    Renewal & Retention Engine

    Build ERC end date automations that trigger 6 months before expiry — sending the client a renewal email, creating a remortgage case, assigning a task to the adviser, and scheduling follow-up messages. Retention on autopilot.

    Template Library

    Start with pre-built automation templates for common advisory workflows — new client onboarding, remortgage renewal, document chasing, annual reviews — then customise to match your firm's exact process.

    Built for real advisory workflows

    Here's how firms like yours use this feature every day.

    Remortgage renewal pipeline

    6 months before ERC end date: send client an email, create a remortgage case, assign a task to the original adviser, and schedule a follow-up SMS. The entire renewal process starts without anyone lifting a finger.

    New client welcome sequence

    When a new client is created: send a branded welcome email from Email Studio, create onboarding tasks for the adviser, trigger a portal invite, and schedule a 'just checking in' message for 48 hours later.

    Document chasing automation

    When documents are requested but not uploaded within 5 days: send an automated reminder via the Message Hub. If still missing after 10 days, create a task for the adviser to follow up personally.

    Case completion celebrations

    When a case status changes to 'Completed': send a congratulations email, create a 30-day follow-up task for a satisfaction check, and schedule a 6-month reminder to discuss protection needs.

    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions

    What software reduces manual admin burden for mortgage brokers?+
    Workflow automation software inside a broker CRM is the single biggest lever for reducing manual admin. It handles the repetitive work — sending document chasers, creating tasks when a case stage changes, triggering renewal emails six months before ERC, posting status updates to the client portal — so the adviser stops doing them by hand. Advizo's automations module is included as standard and replaces five to ten hours of weekly admin per adviser at most firms we work with.
    How do you automate mortgage workflows?+
    Identify the repeatable steps in your process (new enquiry → factfind sent → documents requested → DIP submitted → application → offer → completion → 5-year review), then build an automation for each trigger. In Advizo, you drag and drop triggers (e.g. 'case status changes to Application Submitted') and actions (e.g. 'email client', 'create task for adviser', 'send portal update') in a visual builder. No code, no developer — most firms automate their full case lifecycle in an afternoon.
    What is workflow automation for financial advice firms?+
    Workflow automation is software that runs predefined sequences of actions when a trigger fires — for example, sending a renewal email 180 days before a remortgage ERC date, or creating a compliance review task when a case completes. For UK advice firms it removes diary-management risk, ensures every client gets the same level of follow-up, and frees advisers to focus on advice instead of admin. Advizo's automations work across clients, cases, factfinds, documents and messages.
