What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the time-consuming and technical challenge of creating legally compliant website accessibility statements. It combines WAVE accessibility audit data with AI analysis to generate professional statements that meet WCAG, EU, and ADA requirements - saving hours of manual work while reducing compliance risks.
For organizations required to publish accessibility statements (especially under EU Web Accessibility Directive), this workflow ensures statements include all mandatory elements: conformance status, inaccessible content explanations, contact methods for reporting issues, and improvement timelines. The AI component translates technical audit findings into clear, legally appropriate language.
How It Works
1. Website Accessibility Audit
The workflow starts by running a WAVE accessibility scan of your website, identifying WCAG success criterion violations and other accessibility issues.
2. AI Analysis
An AI model processes the audit data, categorizing issues by severity and mapping them to specific WCAG requirements. It identifies which elements must be disclosed in the statement.
3. Statement Generation
The system generates a draft statement with proper legal structure: introduction, compliance status, known limitations, alternatives, feedback mechanism, and enforcement procedure details.
4. Review & Publication
The final statement is formatted for web publication and can be automatically sent to your team for review before being posted to your website's accessibility page.
Pro tip: Schedule this workflow to run monthly to keep your accessibility statement current with your website's evolving compliance status.
