• Detailed Analysis Integration: Seamlessly merge Claude’s JSON response back into the intake record for comprehensive data integration.
• Qualified Intakes Notification: For submissions deemed qualified, an HTML alert email is sent to the intake team via Gmail, with details appended to the "Qualified Intakes" sheet in Google Sheets.
• Non-Qualified Intakes Documentation: For non-qualified matters, append the information along with the reason for decline in the "Declined Intakes" sheet.
