Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use only after the attorney or authorized matter team identifies the discovery items, matter-specific response date, review-call date, secure upload method, and supporting attachment. The workflow does not determine discovery scope or obligations.
What this replaces
Replaces manual discovery coordination emails that can omit an item, use the wrong date, provide an unsafe submission route, or blur attorney instructions with a generic checklist.
Why teams standardize this email
A structured request helps the client see the attorney-selected items and coordination dates while leaving legal sufficiency, preservation, objections, service, and procedural requirements to the matter team.
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.
- Fills the client and matter names
- Renders the attorney-selected discovery items in the draft
- Adds the matter-specific response date, review-call date, and secure upload link
- Requires the sender to add the relevant discovery attachment
- Applies the configured discovery-request tag when the workflow starts
FAQ
Does Toggles calculate a discovery deadline?
No. The attorney or authorized matter team supplies the date after reviewing the applicable matter and procedural requirements.
Does this template define the client's discovery obligations?
No. It communicates attorney-selected items and coordination details. It is not legal advice or a substitute for matter-specific instructions.
Is the discovery request attached automatically?
No. The workflow requires an attachment, and the sender must add the correct attorney-reviewed document before sending.
