Permit Application Status Tracker
A done-for-you architecture and engineering automation built for the Project Manager, connecting Slack and Google Sheets so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
This automation tracks every submitted permit application against the issuing jurisdiction's typical review timeline and automatically checks for status updates, notifying the project manager the moment a permit is approved, rejected, or flagged for additional information.
Instead of someone manually logging into a municipal portal every few days to check, the status change reaches the project manager the same day it posts.
- A permit tracking tool or municipal portal API
- Zapier or Make.com
- Google Sheets
- Email or Slack
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, a project manager has to notice problems after they've already happened, then scramble to fix them manually one at a time. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Expiration and renewal alerts on a 90, 60, and 30 day countdown
- Signature and document chasers that escalate on their own
- Deadline tracking for filings, permits, and inspections
- An automatic audit trail of every notice sent
