How to simplify your document requests with Convoflo

Louis-Philippe Taschereau

Request, receive, and validate your clients’ documents in one secure workspace — with automatic reminders, reusable templates, and an overview of all your requests.

Why it matters

The real cost of chasing client documents

In many firms, document collection seems simple — until it turns into a series of follow-ups, reminders, and manual checks. It’s not just a time issue. It’s also about structure, traceability, and client experience.

Without a clear structure

With a Convoflo file request

Repeated follow-ups for the same documents

Attachments scattered across multiple emails

Multiple versions of the same file

No clear visibility on what’s received, missing, or rejected

Administrative time that keeps adding up

A frustrating experience for both the firm and the client

A clear list of requested documents

Required vs optional documents

Deadlines and automated reminders

Direct uploads in a secure workspace

Review, approval, or rejection in one place

A complete overview of all requests

In other words, you move from a manual, fragmented process to a structured workflow — easier to manage, and much easier for your clients.

Create a document request

To create a request, open the conversation with your client and select File request. You can then define which documents to receive, indicate which ones are required, and configure reminders.

Step%201%20-%20FR Create a document request by adding the required files and settings.

For each document, you can also define:

  • whether the document is required or optional

  • a due date

  • automatic reminders if the request is not completed

Convoflo can send automatic reminders after 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days. However, this setting is customizable, allowing you to create your own automated reminder plan.

Save a template to reuse your requests

If you regularly request the same documents, you can save the request as a template.

Template%20-%20FRCreate a document request by adding the required files and settings.

This allows you to:

  • reuse the same document lists

  • standardize your processes

  • save time on recurring files

Templates are especially useful for processes such as:

  • tax returns

  • new file openings

  • compliance checks

What your client can do

Once the request is sent, your client can respond directly in the secure workspace.

Client%20view%20-%20FR The client can upload each document directly into the requested fields.

The client can:

  • upload the requested documents

  • decline a required document while explaining why

  • add additional files if needed

Validate received documents

Once documents are submitted, you can review them directly in Convoflo.

Approval%20-%20FR Preview, approve, or reject the received documents.
  • preview files

  • download them

  • approve them

  • reject them if necessary

If a document is rejected, the client can submit a new version.

Track all requests at a glance

Convoflo also provides an overview to track all your file requests.

Dashboard%20-%20FRTrack the progress of all document requests.
  • pending requests

  • requests under review

  • completed requests

A simpler way to manage your document requests

With Convoflo, document collection becomes structured, easy to track, and simpler to manage — for both you and your clients.

Instead of following up by email and juggling scattered files, you centralize your requests, automate follow-ups, and maintain full visibility over every document, from request to validation.

Start with your first request. You’ll quickly see the difference.
