Teams lose hours writing one-off update emails with inconsistent tone.
Feature
Client status update emails from the workflow itself
Trigger concise updates directly from file progress so communication stays clear, timely, and tied to real work.
What this solves
Clients ask for status repeatedly when updates are not systematic.
Communication history gets scattered across inbox threads.
