Added Default Email Content for Document Requests When requesting documents from clients through the Applicant Portal, agents have full control over the template and email content of this message. In case agents do not want to customize this message, Scarlett will now automatically include a clear default message in the email subject & body. Additional Details Added to FINTRAC Error Report When a Document Verification Service (DVS) check through Equifax fails, error messages will now display detailed explanation to help agents quickly identify the reason for the failure and the required resolution. Updated ‘Written Service Agreement’ Forms for Alberta: This update delivers revised versions of the three Alberta Written Service Agreements for Borrower, Intermediary, and Lender.

These forms now auto-fill deal information and include new editable fields, making them faster and easier to complete. Upload of MPP Insurance Documents Previously, some uploaded documents submitted to Manulife Protection Plan (MPP) were not received due to formatting issues in the file name. Scarlett now automatically adjusts file names in the background, ensuring every uploaded document is delivered to Manulife without delays or technical hiccups. Document Request Email Link Now Opens Document Collection Page When applicants receive a document request email the link will now open the Document Collection page of the deal, rather than their main dashboard of all current and past deals.

With this update, clients do not have to select the correct deal from their dashboard, eliminating confusion and allowing them to access the requested document list immediately. This makes the process faster and more intuitive.

New Login Page for App 3.0 to capture Applicant’s details earlier A new enhancement was released for App 3.0’s Login page to capture an applicant’s first name, last name, and their contact details (email address or phone number) upfront. This allows Scarlett Origination to capture a new mortgage application even earlier than before. As soon as an applicant completes login verification (via their email or phone number), even before the Application’s interview stage is completed, a new Application is created under the Work-In-Progress tile on your Deal Dashboard. This will ensure you never lose a lead and always have the opportunity to follow up on every application that is started through Scarlett Origination, no matter where your client leaves it. Purpose-built access for a streamlined experience We’ve refined the way clients access their Application Portals to provide a more intuitive experience and ensure they’re always in control of their journey. Clients now have two clearly defined options:

Start Application – Initiates a brand-new mortgage application from scratch.
Log In – Opens the client’s portal, where they can view or continue existing applications, review or manage document requests, and view Mortgage Summary Pages.

This enhancement creates a clear distinction between starting fresh and continuing an in-progress file. It also improves consistency in how clients interact with their application journey — especially when they have more than one open application.

Tip: If a client is returning to continue an existing application, they should click “Log In” (top right). App 3.0 Settings page – additional options available To accommodate these new features, some additional options were added to the App 3.0 settings page giving agents the ability to control and modify their Application’s content and appearance on the client’s view of the App Login Page. You’ll find a list of all the new settings available below:

Login Page Image – giving the agent control over which available images to display
Modify Page Title (EN & FR)
Modify Consent Checkbox Language (EN & FR)
Show / Hide Disclosure
Show / Hide Copyright
Adding Company Logo (FR) Along with these new settings is also the ability to modify the text displayed to your client’s when they reach the “Add Co-Applicant” and “Invite Co-Applicant” stage of their Application. Splitting the Interview section and adding Subject Property information as a separate step This change splits the Subject Property details from the Interview Section of the client’s Application flow so that it becomes a defined aspect of the application and is easier to find and refer to after the fact. Just like before, the Subject Property details will only appear if the client has selected the appropriate fields in the Interview Section.

Leads Add Referred By to Filter A new “Referred By” filter has been added to the Leads section. New Form for Newfoundland and Labrador A new Mortgage Disclosure And Suitability Form has been added under ‘Newfoundland and Labrador’ in the Generate New Form section for users.

Bulk Status Update & Bulk Agent on Deal change for list view Users can now select multiple deals to add those deals to a custom Pipeline, change the status of those deals, or re-assign the Agent On Deal for multiple deals at once directly from their Deal Dashboard while in List-View using the new Bulk Actions menu. Lender Submission – Other lenders (Override the permission) This change allows agents without standard submission permissions to create manual submissions using the “Other” lender option. The option to submit a deal will only appear when these users have selected the “Other” lender option. Add Applicants Assigned to Mortgage in History Assigning & unassigning applicants from a mortgage is now tracked and accounted for within the deal’s History tab. Auto-Doc – Rename the “Category” as Owner Occupied / Second Home Other Properties Previously, there was not a clear Auto Doc category for Second Home Properties. So, the Owner Occupied Auto Doc category has been re-named to “Owner Occupied / Second Home Other Properties”. If a property’s Occupancy status is set to Owner Occupied, Owner-Occupied & Rental, or Second Home Occupancy, then Auto Docs will populate documents based on this category. Permission to View Deal currently does not support viewing Lender Submissions / Responses This update improves how permissions work on the Lender Submission page to better match user roles.

Users with View Deal access will now be able to view submission response details. Users with Create/Edit Deal access will continue to have full access (view, edit, delete, & add manual responses). Create a search function for automations A search bar is now available at the top of the Automation & Workflow module to help users quickly find any automation they have previously configured. Flinks page translate to French When a user has set their Scarlett Origination language preference to French, the Flinks Bank Statement portal sent to their clients will be translated to French upon receipt. E-Sign – Add Delete Function The update adds more control over e-signature workflows with the ability to delete e-sign envelopes when needed. A user can delete e-sign envelopes if:

The signing package is still in Draft and has not been sent
The envelope is sent, but neither party has begun signing (all sides in Pending) Fintrac – Generated PDF Report: Download or Upload in English and French The update allows users to generate then download or upload FINTRAC compliance reports in either English (EN) or French (FR), depending on their requirements. Activity Page – Additional fields to be displayed before “Show More” This update has improved the activity creation experience by bringing the most important fields front and center. Users will now see the following fields immediately, without needing to click the “Show More” button. Replication of the Notes Tab inside a Scarlett deal The Notes tab is now available in two spots – amongst the top module items and within the lower deal sections. Scarlett 2FA – Display Method and masked information Users can now see which 2FA method update this at any time through their Two-Factor Authentication Settings. Add Calculators to App dropdown & Hamburger Menu menu This update adds calculators directly within a deal. Users can run calculations while working on a deal without needing to exit that deal, keeping everything in one place for a smoother workflow. FINTRAC / Equifax – Update PEP & Sanctions details in PDF The Equifax PEP & Sanction PDF report now displays more detailed information when there’s a positive match for PEP (Politically Exposed Person) or Sanctions screening.

Deal Integration with Scarlett Origination When CMA triggers a webhook with deal information, Scarlett Origination receives the webhook and creates a new deal in Scarlett and it is tagged as “CMA”. Lead Integration with Scarlett Origination When a new lead is created in Scarlett it is tagged as “CMA”, and an email notification is sent to the agent. The webhook triggers Scarlett Origination to create a new lead.

When a lead and deal are created together, they are automatically displayed on the leads page under Deals tab. Deal creation and updates are captured in the History page in Scarlett Origination. Integration of Canadian Mortgage Application with Scarlett Origination This integration aims to automate the creation of leads and deals in Scarlett Origination through webhooks triggered by agents using the Canadian Mortgage Application (CMA). Scarlett Origination agents can copy the webhook URLs generated in Scarlett Origination via the Scarlett settings page and paste them into the CMA Application for both leads webhook and deals webhook to enable lead or deal creation in Scarlett.

Compounding Period Field Added to Manual Lender Response We have added a new field, “Compounding Period,” to the manual lender response created by agents after a lender submission. This allows agents to modify the Compounding Period set in the application from the Manual Response function, without needing to change it within the application itself. This change may be reflected in the document(s) generated when a response is accepted. Incoming Call and SMS History Agents who have set up their Twilio accounts, can view incoming and outgoing SMS messages relating to their applicants on the communication page for specific leads or deals. All SMS logs are captured in the “Incoming Call and SMS History” section of the SMS History tab. This includes SMS logs that are not linked to a specific lead or deal.
