Questions, answered
Does it send lien notices to vehicle owners automatically?
No. This workflow only tracks deadlines and alerts your team internally. All lien notices and legal documents are drafted for human review and approval before being sent.
How does it calculate lien deadlines?
It calculates from the storage start date in Towbook using the deadline window you configure in the Google Sheet. You set the window to match your state's lien law requirements.
What if the lien process has already been started for a vehicle?
Vehicles with a completed lien initiation status in your tracker are excluded from the daily alert so the list stays focused on action items only.
