Action Required: Documents Needed for Your Account, client_first_name
Hi client_first_name,
I'm reaching out because we need to collect some updated documentation in connection with your account (account_number). This is a routine compliance requirement under our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations — it's not a reflection of any concern about your account specifically.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
• documents_needed
HOW TO SUBMIT
You can upload your documents securely through our client portal: secure_upload_url
Please do not send sensitive documents via unencrypted email. The secure upload link above is encrypted and designed specifically for document submissions of this nature.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: submission_deadline
We need to complete this verification by the deadline above to remain compliant with regulatory requirements. If documents are not received by that date, we may be required to temporarily restrict certain account activities until verification is complete. I want to make sure that doesn't become a disruption for you.
WHY WE REQUIRE THIS
Financial institutions are required by federal law — specifically the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN's Customer Due Diligence rules — to periodically verify and update client identification information. This applies to all clients, regardless of the length of the relationship or the size of the account.
If you have any trouble uploading or questions about what's needed, please call me directly at me::phone. I'm happy to walk you through it.
Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use this workflow when a wealth management client needs to provide updated KYC or compliance documents for account maintenance.
What this replaces
This replaces manually writing compliance document requests, pasting secure upload links, and explaining deadlines and account restrictions inconsistently.
Why teams standardize this email
KYC requests can feel sensitive to clients. A standardized workflow helps teams explain the reason clearly, include secure submission instructions, and keep the tone consistent before the advisor sends the email.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.
- Inserts the KYC document request email in Outlook
- Prompts for client name, account number, documents needed, submission deadline, secure upload URL, and phone number
- Adds an action-required subject line
- Keeps sensitive document instructions consistent
- Leaves the email editable for advisor review
FAQ
Does Toggles collect KYC documents?
No. The workflow can include a secure upload link, but document collection happens through your existing portal or compliance process.
Can this include a deadline and required document list?
Yes. The workflow prompts for both the document list and submission deadline.
Does this replace compliance review?
No. Toggles standardizes the email draft. Your compliance process still controls document review and approval.
