Automatically track FDA submission status changes, alert your team via Slack, and archive all related documents in a centralized location for healthcare startups navigating regulatory compliance.

Workflow Steps

1

Airtable

Track FDA submission pipeline

Create a base with fields for submission ID, product name, submission type (510k, PMA, etc.), current status, submission date, expected response date, and assigned team member. Set up views for different submission stages and use color-coding for status tracking.

2

Zapier

Monitor status changes and trigger alerts

Set up a Zap that triggers when the 'Status' field in Airtable changes. Configure filters for critical status updates like 'Additional Info Required', 'Approved', or 'Rejected'. Map the trigger to pull submission details and format them for Slack.

3

Slack

Send formatted alerts to compliance team

Create a dedicated #fda-updates channel and configure the Zapier integration to post formatted messages including submission ID, product name, new status, and next action required. Use @channel mentions for urgent statuses and thread replies for additional context.

4

Google Drive

Auto-archive submission documents

Set up folder structure organized by submission ID and product. Use Zapier to automatically create folders when new submissions are added to Airtable and move relevant documents from a staging folder to the appropriate submission folder based on naming conventions.
