PLATFORM  /  SIGNALS & TRIGGERS/ react to change

Nothing moves without something noticing.

Signals watch everything that touches your caseload — documents landing, deadlines approaching, replies going quiet, regulation shifting. Triggers turn each one into work that starts itself, on the cases you scope, within the limits you set.

Deadlines that slip unnoticed

From something happened to something done.

Most case management tells you what happened, eventually. Hendl notices, decides whether it matters, and starts the response — before anyone opens the file.

Signals

Everything that touches a case is watched — documents arriving, deadlines approaching, replies going quiet, regulation changing.

Triggers

Rules you set once: when this happens, on these cases, start that. No one has to notice, remember or forward anything.

Actions

A trigger starts real work — a workflow, a digital worker, an escalation — with the case context already attached.

A MORNING OF SIGNALS

The feed on the left. What fired on the right.

Every signal is matched against your triggers. When one fires, the action starts with the case context attached — and both land on the audit trail.

Eight kinds of signal, one feed.

Even silence counts.
Documents & email

Every inbound file, message and attachment, on any channel.

Deadlines & SLAs

Court dates, regulatory clocks and service promises.

Regulation monitors

Standing watchers over the rules that govern your caseload.

Silence

The reply that never came — waiting is a signal too.

Case-data changes

Reserves, stages, parties — any field crossing a threshold.

Portfolio patterns

Clusters and anomalies across the whole book, not one case.

External data

Feeds from registries, sanctions lists and connected systems.

Manual flags

A person marks something worth watching — the system takes it from there.

A trigger is four decisions. You make them once.

Composed in plain language, no code — and dry-run against your case history before it ever goes live.

Condition

What has to be true — the event, the threshold, the pattern.

Scope

Which cases it applies to — a type, a team, a value band, or all.

Action

What starts — a workflow, a worker, a task, an escalation.

Guardrail

Limits and approvals — how far the action may run unattended.

Powerful, and quiet about it.

Automation you can’t trust gets switched off. Triggers are testable, scoped, logged and instantly pausable — so they stay on.

No noise

Signals are deduplicated and thresholded — one event, one action, not forty notifications.

Fully logged

Every signal, every firing and every action lands on the audit trail with its cause.

Test before live

Dry-run a trigger against history to see exactly what it would have done.

An off switch

Pause any trigger instantly — per rule, per team or across the workspace.

Questions teams ask about signals.

How is this different from notifications?

A notification asks a person to react. A trigger starts the work itself — the workflow runs, the chaser goes out, the escalation lands — and tells you what happened.

What can a trigger start?

Any process definition or workflow, a digital worker, a task for a named person, or an escalation. The case context travels with it.

Will it flood the team with actions?

No. Signals are deduplicated, thresholds keep small movements quiet, and every trigger has a scope — you decide which cases it may touch.

Can we test a trigger before it goes live?

Yes. Dry-run it against your case history and see every firing it would have produced before you arm it.

Who can create triggers?

Roles you choose. Most teams let leads author triggers and require a second approval before one goes live on regulated case types.

What happens when a trigger misfires?

Pause it with one click. Everything it started is on the audit trail, attributable and reversible — nothing disappears into the background.

Stop watching the caseload. Let the caseload watch itself.
