Referral Intake Automation

Referral Intake Automation for Allied Health Practices

What It Is

A cleaner intake workflow.

Referral intake automation turns scattered referral emails, PDFs, forms and attachments into a trackable workflow. The goal is simple: capture the referral, save the documents, flag missing information and make the status visible.

Why It Matters

Manual intake slows practices down.

When admin staff copy details by hand, save documents manually, chase missing information and update spreadsheets, referral processing becomes slower than it needs to be.

Copied details

Referral details are copied from PDFs, emails and attachments into trackers or practice systems.

Manual document handling

Documents are saved, named and moved by hand, which makes consistency hard.

No clear pipeline

Teams rely on inboxes and spreadsheets instead of a shared status view.

Before / After

From messy intake to clear workflow.

Before AdminZero

Referral email arrives → admin downloads attachment → reads PDF → copies details → creates folder → updates spreadsheet → emails team → chases missing info

After AdminZero

Referral submitted → details captured → document saved → missing info flagged → status updated → team notified → referral visible in tracker
