Fuller IP Draft Process

Fuller Law - Process Flow
AppCall-confirmed facts
Confirmed Monday.com steps
Open question / not yet confirmed
To build on Monday.com

Provisional application

Starting point

AppCall

Docketing and deadlines

CSV export + script

Fully automated — daily, via Power Automate + scheduled Python script

Script re-run logic

Fills blank columns only, never overwrites existing values; creates a new row only if the matter isn't found

Row created in Monday.com

One row per application · Application Type also comes directly from AppCall

Matter Status column

Direct mirror of AppCall — the single source of truth. New AppCall values auto-create matching labels; nothing is added/renamed/retired on the Monday side. Workflow-only statuses (e.g. "Needs to go to Owner") live on the separate, already-existing "Application Status" column.

Checklist built manually

Only 2 of 6 types done

Application type can change, depending on:

If it changes, the existing row moves to the new group (script never deletes — create-only)
