Automate Workflows

Create scripts for common FinCEN 105 tasks: 
import { chromium } from 'playwright';

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

// Navigate to FinCEN 105 portal
await page.goto('https://www.fincen.gov/resources/filing-information');

// Start new CMIR filing
await page.click('[data-testid="new-filing-button"]');
await page.selectOption('[name="report_type"]', 'import');

// Fill traveler information
await page.fill('[name="first_name"]', 'John');
await page.fill('[name="last_name"]', 'Smith');
await page.fill('[name="date_of_birth"]', '01/15/1980');
await page.fill('[name="passport_number"]', 'A12345678');
await page.selectOption('[name="country_of_citizenship"]', 'Canada');

// Transportation details
await page.fill('[name="flight_number"]', 'AC123');
await page.fill('[name="arrival_date"]', '12/15/2024');
await page.selectOption('[name="port_of_entry"]', 'JFK');
await page.fill('[name="departure_city"]', 'Toronto, ON');

// Currency information
await page.selectOption('[name="currency_type"]', 'cash');
await page.fill('[name="currency_amount"]', '15000');
await page.selectOption('[name="currency_denomination"]', 'USD');
await page.fill('[name="source_of_funds"]', 'Business proceeds from sale');

// Submit declaration
await page.click('[name="certify_accuracy"]');
await page.fill('[name="electronic_signature"]', 'John Smith');
await page.click('[data-testid="submit-declaration"]');
