Missing Source Field Chase Agent

Stalled records completed with confirmed values and the right questions sent for the rest

Missing Source Field Chase Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A form comes in with the date of birth smudged or the policy number missing, and the record sits in the queue for days. This agent lists every record that has a missing or unclear required field. For each one, it tries to find the value elsewhere, such as in an attached document, an earlier record for the same person or a related email. When it finds a likely value, it marks it as a suggestion with its source, never as confirmed. For fields it cannot find, it drafts a short question to the sender that names the record and the exact field. After a reply arrives, it checks the new value against the field's format and rules, and if it fails it asks again. The specialist approves messages before they go out. Edge case: a suggestion from a different person's file is rejected.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A value found elsewhere is only a suggestion until a second source or the sender confirms it. Format rules decide whether a reply is accepted.

  • Never fill a field from another person's file
  • Ask once, remind after 3 working days, escalate after 7
  • Treat a value from only one weak source as a suggestion
  • Hold records missing identity fields until confirmed

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Required fields per form type
  • Reminder days (default 3 and 7)
  • Tone of the messages
  • Formats and ranges each field must meet

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sending questions to senders

Hard limits

  • Never enters a guessed value as confirmed
  • Never contacts a sender without approval

It stops when

  • Done: every record is complete or has an open question
  • Stop: the source document is lost and the sender is unreachable

An example run

What happensOf 120 forms received on Monday, 17 had a blank date of birth or phone. For 6 the agent found the value in an earlier record for the same client and marked them as suggestions. For 11 it drafted questions. One reply gave a date as 31/02, which failed the format check. The agent asked again with an example, and the corrected date passed.
