Case history and unresolved questions

Reconstruct the case once

An escalation may arrive in a forwarded thread while a requested estimate arrives days later. Bring related emails and files from the inboxes your team uses into one case view, using the case references your handlers recognize.

Keep the original request, the latest commitment and the documents answering earlier questions together. The next handler can pick up the case with the history in front of them.

Case status and unanswered questions

See the case reference, stated status, promised date and requested evidence in one working view. Extract these details from messages and combine updates into a current case profile, with the email behind each important value.

Assign outstanding evidence requests and specialist questions to the people who can answer them. Compare conflicting updates and record the resolution beside the supporting messages.

Evidence requests and case handoffs

  1. Follow the unanswered question

    Give each request an owner and an optional due date. Include the emails and files they’re allowed to read, then keep the answer or decision beside the question.

    Get an alert when a promised date changes or a review date approaches. Give the estimate, customer reply and specialist review their own owners so each part of the case can move forward.

  2. Give the specialist the relevant context

    Give an account team, supervisor or outside reviewer the references and documents they need. Create separate shared views when those audiences need different information, with original-file access chosen separately.

    Support the handler’s assessment with the correspondence, checked details and outstanding questions. The responsible team makes the customer or claims decision.

Help the next handler continue the case

Hand over the last commitment, the documents supporting it and the unanswered question with its owner. Keep the exact document version when a decision depends on it.

Let the next person follow the history and find the next action from the same case view, with access to the material they need.

Common questions

How can we track outstanding claim documents?

Keep requests for documents with the case, assign each one and record the answer and supporting files. Missing-field checks can highlight gaps, while the handler confirms which documents are required and adequate.

Can an alert create follow-up for a handler?

Yes. Enable a follow-up action on a matching alert and choose its owner and due-date setup. The handler reviews the information and records the outcome.
