In one line

Following up is the quiet tax on every audit, much of the ~2,000 emails a single engagement generates. Alkmist automates it: Smart Follow-Up reminds clients about outstanding items on a behavioral schedule, escalates the overdue, tracks responses, and stops chasing the done, so your team works exceptions instead of inboxes.

Follow-up that runs without you

Manual chasing does not scale. Alkmist moves it off people and into the workflow.

Smart Follow-Up

Automated, behavioral reminders

Reminders go out on a schedule tuned to each request, not a blunt fixed timer, so clients act and the work moves.

  • Behavioral reminder schedule
  • Tied to each request's status
  • No manual reminder emails
Response tracking

Always know where things stand

See what is in, pending, and overdue at a glance, instead of reconstructing status from sent mail.

  • Live status per request
  • Overdue items escalate automatically
  • Completed items stop chasing
Out of the inbox

Chasing in one place

Follow-ups live against tracked requests in one portal, not scattered across email threads and people.

  • One portal, not many inboxes
  • Comments tied to each request
  • Immutable audit trail of every nudge
Secure and EU-hosted

Automation you can trust

The automation runs on an ISO 27001 certified, EU-hosted platform, with data kept in the EU.

  • EU data residency
  • ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant
  • Encryption in transit and at rest

Frequently asked questions

How does Alkmist automate email follow-ups?
Alkmist uses Smart Follow-Up to remind clients about outstanding requests on a behavioral schedule tied to each item's status. Overdue items escalate, completed items stop chasing, and the team manages exceptions instead of sending reminders by hand.
Do automated reminders annoy clients?
Not when they are tied to status. A completed request stops chasing while an overdue one escalates, so clients only hear about what is genuinely outstanding, rather than a fixed-timer email blast.
Can I track who has responded?
Yes. Each request shows a live status, in, pending, or overdue, so you always know where things stand without searching your inbox, and every reminder is logged to an audit trail.
Is the follow-up automation secure?
Yes. It runs on an ISO 27001 certified, EU-hosted platform with encryption in transit and at rest and GDPR compliance, so automating the chase does not loosen your data posture.
