What is document collection and review automation?
Document collection and review automation uses software to collect and route legal files without manual follow-up. Teams can assign reviewers, log matter documents, and escalate exceptions when files arrive or statuses change.
COMMON DOCUMENT COLLECTION AND REVIEW CHALLENGES
Missing files until deadlines slip
Slow response to incoming documents
Manual filing across review tools
No unified view of review status
Transform your document collection and review with Zapier
Zapier helps legal teams bring more speed and control to document collection and review automation. Route legal document intake, track review status, and organize eDiscovery filesβand that's just the start.
Document intake routing
Get every legal document to the right place
Zapier automates document intake the moment a legal document is submitted or received. Files from Jotform, Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or Front can be routed into Google Drive, Dropbox, or a case system with matter details attached. That gives legal teams faster collection review with fewer intake gaps.

Matter intake routing
Route new legal document submissions from Jotform or email into the correct matter folder and case record as soon as they arrive. That keeps document collection moving without inbox triage.
Inbox attachment capture
Pull attachments from Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or Front and file them where reviewers can actually find them. Legal document intake becomes consistent, even when files come from multiple channels.
Form-based collection
Capture uploads and intake details from Jotform, then send files and metadata into storage and matter tracking automatically. Review teams start with the right context instead of chasing submitters.
Client file requests
Send follow-ups when requested records are still missing and log each response against the matter. That shortens collection review cycles and reduces deadline risk.
Converted PDF intake
Convert incoming files with ConvertAPI PDF Tools before routing them into your review workflow. Standardized PDFs make legal document review easier to organize and share.
How it works
Document collection and review automation connects your tools, detects incoming files and review status changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Route documents, assign reviewers, and track review progress in real timeβwithout manually checking inboxes.
