File size is checked before extraction.\n3. **Extract**: Prompt is built with injection defences and sent to Claude Sonnet 4.6. Response is parsed into a structured JSON item.\n4. **Route**: HIGH risk triggers email and Slack alerts. A parallel branch monitors token usage and fires a Slack nudge above 40k tokens.\n5. **Log**: Full extraction result appended to Google Sheets including risk factors, parties, token counts, and job ID.\n6. **Deliver**: If a callback_url was provided, the extraction result is POSTed back to the upstream system.\n\n### Setup steps\n- [x] Anthropic Chat Model connected (Claude Sonnet 4.6)\n- [ ] Connect Google Sheets OAuth2 credential to Log to Google Sheets\n- [ ] Set GSHEETS_SPREADSHEET_ID env var\n- [ ] Set GSHEETS_SHEET_NAME env var\n- [ ] Set SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL env var (High Risk Alert, High Token Alert, Pipeline Error)\n- [ ] Set ALERT_FROM_EMAIL and ALERT_TO_EMAIL env vars\n- [ ] Connect SMTP credential to Email: High Risk Alert\n- [ ] Set ALLOWED_DOWNLOAD_DOMAINS env var (optional, comma-separated allowlist)\n- [ ] Update claude_model in Workflow Config if switching model versions\n- [ ] POST test payload to webhook path: process-document\n\n"
