Hey Teams
,
Thrilled to share a powerful POC I recently built at Neutrinos for one of our key clients, Netcare. The challenge? Create a fully automated, email-based claims process with zero manual steps.
I built it from scratch in just 2 days, and it leverages the best of both custom development and the Neutrinos platform. ![]()
Client Ask:
Enable claimants to submit documents via email, and have the system:
- Auto-validate documents
- Extract data using OCR
- Make business decisions automatically
- Trigger case creation and visibility in UI
My Solution β Step by Step:
1. Email Monitoring (Node.js + IMAP + Cron):
- Wrote a custom Node.js service that checks incoming emails every 10 seconds.
- Validates if documents are attached.
- Handles 3 scenarios:
ID + Discharge Summary β move to next step
Missing document β send email asking for the missing one
No attachment β send email instructing to resend
2. Automated Replies (SMTP + Nodemailer):
- Integrated SMTP service using Nodemailer to send dynamic, situation-based replies to claimants.
3. Document Extraction via Neutrinos AI Hub (OCR):
- Forwarded documents to AI Hub for OCR-based data extraction.
- Parsed important fields like patient name, ID number, discharge date, etc.
4. Decisioning with Reels:
- Integrated with the Reels platform to evaluate business logic and return outcomes like:
STP (Straight Through Processing)
No STP
Knockout
5. Case Creation via Neutrinos Case Service:
- Based on the Reels decision, triggered Case Service API to register the claim.
- Created a structured Case Type in JBPM.
6. Alpha Workbench UI:
- All cases, outcomes, and statuses are visible in Alpha Workbench.
- Claim processing lifecycle (approval, rejection, undertakings) is managed via a clean and responsive UI built with Neutrinosβ Alpha UI tools.
What Makes This Special:
End-to-end automated pipeline
Reusable and scalable architecture
Deep integration with Neutrinos platform: AI Hub, Reels, Case Services, Alpha Workbench
Built entirely in just 2 days
Tech Stack:
- Node.js||SSD (custom logic + cron jobs)
- IMAP/SMTP (Nodemailer) for email handling
- AI Hub (OCR) for document extraction
- Reels for decisioning logic
- Case Service API for triggering case types , case creation.
- Alpha Workbench for UI display and workflow tracking
Special Thanks:
Big shoutout to ** @divyajot.singh **, @Gavin, and the team for the support and collaboration throughout! ![]()
Iβll be adding screenshots, sample flows, and email templates below so you can see how the automation works visually.
Would love to get feedback or ideas from the community!
