Automation Blueprints

Early design surfaces for bigger workflow automation ideas before they become production switches.

These are intentionally blueprint-level controls. CMIForge should draft, map, and explain these automations before anything gets the keys to production workflows.

Onboarding chatbot

Draft an assisted intake conversation that can ask follow-up questions, remember firm context, and turn the answers into a normal submission.

Assisted draft

Recommended shape

Use a selected published form as the target, let AI collect answers conversationally, then require human/user submit before workflow starts.

Configuration pieces

  • Published form
  • Allowed contact/client audience
  • Prompt guardrails
  • Submission draft review

Next build slices

  • Create draft submission from chat answers
  • Email/context ingestion
  • Practice-area memory

Prospect portal

Capture website enquiries as prospects before they become full intake clients or matters.

Portal intake

Recommended shape

Expose a public enquiry form that creates a prospect submission and routes it through a prospect workflow before linking to intake.

Configuration pieces

  • Published prospect form
  • Prospect workflow
  • Public branding
  • Spam/abuse controls

Next build slices

  • Convert prospect to intake
  • Prospect status dashboard
  • Optional portal embed

Client monitoring

Continuously re-check active matters and monitored parties when new people, counsel, or outside risk signals appear.

Monitoring design

Recommended shape

Start with configurable monitoring flags and explainable alerts, then let compliance dismiss, re-run conflicts, or escalate from one monitoring dashboard.

Configuration pieces

  • Monitored clients/matters
  • Monitored party roles
  • Risk data sources
  • Alert severity rules
  • Dismiss/escalate workflow

Next build slices

  • Monitoring dashboard
  • Scheduled conflict re-checks
  • News/adverse-media signals
  • Alert audit history

Dun & Bradstreet enrichment

Plan company-data enrichment for client onboarding, corporate families, addresses, industry data, and business identifiers.

Provider planning

Recommended shape

Treat D&B as a configurable provider lane first: map returned business facts into CMIForge fields, keep source attribution, and avoid overwriting reviewed entity data without approval.

Configuration pieces

  • Provider credentials
  • Company match confidence
  • Field mapping
  • Source/audit attribution
  • Approval before overwrite

Next build slices

  • Provider lookup action
  • Corporate-family relationships
  • Business identifier conflict terms
  • Periodic refresh

Smart scoring

Let firms define lead, risk, effort, or compliance scores from form answers and entity facts.

Rules first

Recommended shape

Start with row-by-row rules, weights, thresholds, and display bands. Keep it explainable before letting AI suggest rules.

Configuration pieces

  • Score key/name
  • Input fields
  • Rule conditions
  • Weights and thresholds
  • Workflow visibility

Next build slices

  • Workflow conditional routing
  • Score graphics
  • Score history

Word templates 2.0

Upload DOCX templates with content controls, map those controls to CMIForge fields, and generate DOCX/PDF outputs.

Document automation

Recommended shape

Keep engagement letters as the current first-class template path, then add general Word-template upload and mapping as the next layer.

Configuration pieces

  • DOCX upload
  • Content control extraction
  • System/custom field mapping
  • Output format

Next build slices

  • Workflow Generate Document step
  • Save generated document to matter files
  • PDF conversion

Tenant Teams bot

Plan a tenant-owned bot identity for Teams notifications, daily summaries, and future conversational actions.

Infrastructure planning

Recommended shape

Treat this as tenant infrastructure, consent, Graph permissions, and notification-channel configuration before any bot can act for a customer.

Configuration pieces

  • Tenant identity
  • M365/Graph permissions
  • Notification channel rules
  • Admin consent

Next build slices

  • Daily summaries
  • Workflow task nudges
  • Teams adaptive cards
