AI Agent for Customer Email Follow-ups
A growing student and visa services provider faced a bottleneck in collecting required documents from applicants, leading to processing delays and advisor burnout. To address this, an AI-powered email follow-up agent was implemented. Integrated with the company’s CRM and document management system, the agent automatically initiates email communication, monitors document submission status, and follows up at regular intervals—removing the need for manual oversight.

How we solved the challenge?
Challenge
The organization consultants were burdened with the repetitive task of manually following up with applicants to collect required documents. Each case often demanded several email reminders, consuming hours of staff time and leaving room for human error. The process was not only inefficient but also led to inconsistent communication across different applicants and teams.
As the business grew and began handling applications from multiple countries, the volume of applicants increased—amplifying the problem. Consultants struggled to keep up with the growing workload, which led to delays in processing and affected overall service quality. Without a system in place to track and automate document submission status, valuable time was lost on follow-ups rather than higher-value tasks.
The lack of automation created a dependency on manual reminders and tracking through spreadsheets or CRM notes. This approach made it difficult to maintain visibility across active cases and often resulted in missed follow-ups or incomplete document sets, which in turn delayed approvals and affected client satisfaction.
Solution
To eliminate the inefficiencies of manual email follow-ups, an AI-powered email automation system was implemented and integrated with the existing CRM (Bitrix) and document storage platform (SharePoint). Once a new deal is created, the system automatically sends a personalized email to the applicant outlining the specific documents required. These initial emails are tailored to the application type and linked to a predefined checklist, ensuring clarity and consistency from the start.
The system continues to monitor document submission progress, automatically checking the checklist every two days. If any documents remain missing, it triggers polite follow-up emails without any manual input from the advisor. Once a document is submitted, the system updates the corresponding CRM record and securely stores the file in SharePoint. This end-to-end automation reduced the need for human oversight, increased data accuracy, and ensured a smoother experience for both applicants and internal teams.
Business Result
The solution drastically reduced the manual workload for consultants, eliminating the need for constant follow-ups. Document turnaround times improved significantly, leading to faster processing and a better applicant experience. With automated tracking and communication in place, the company scaled its operations without adding overhead, while maintaining higher consistency and compliance across its document collection process.
