Claude Cowork mortgage document automation solves the operational drag that every US mortgage shop owner knows: processors buried in condition lists instead of closing loans.

How do you set up Claude Cowork for mortgage condition automation?
Step 1: Connect your tools via Connectors
Link your Outlook, Outlook Calendar, and OneDrive or shared drives where borrower documents land.
Step 2: Delegate the condition audit
Tell Cowork: "Check all active files against their condition lists. Flag anything outstanding. Prioritise by lock expiration date."
Step 3: Set up a Scheduled Task for daily condition chasing
Create a Scheduled Task at 7am: "Review all active files, identify outstanding conditions, draft borrower follow-ups, send summary via Dispatch."
Step 4: Enable Dispatch for mobile alerts
"Johnson file, condition 7 (2023 W-2) outstanding since March 28. Lock expires April 10. Draft follow-up ready." You approve from your phone between originator meetings.
Step 5: Build a Plugin for your loan types
Encode condition requirements per loan type: conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, investor. Cowork applies the right checklist automatically.
If you are losing files to lock expirations because conditions arrive late, then Scheduled Tasks catch overdue items daily. If processors cannot reach you during broker meetings, Dispatch puts critical decisions on your phone. If every loan type has different conditions and your processors keep missing items, a Plugin encodes the rules once.
