  2. Check the business context

  3. Check for a possible existing contact

    Have a reviewer look for a matching record and decide whether the existing contact should be used instead.

  4. Review the proposed record

    Show the name and purpose together so an authorized person can confirm the details.

    Add the contact only after the reviewer approves the identity and confirms that creation is appropriate.

    Show whether the new contact was created or needs clarification or further review.

Something to build on.

The handoff

A contact created after human approval, or a review item when the name is incomplete or may match an existing contact.

Keep in mind

Creating a contact changes a customer system. Confirm the person and business purpose, check for an existing record, and do not add extra personal details without a need.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Decide what contact details are needed

Use only the fields required for the business purpose and identify what makes a request incomplete.

Set duplicate review guidance

Choose how reviewers identify likely matches and decide whether to reuse an existing record.

Assign record approval

Name the authorized person who may approve contact creation and handle unclear requests.

Test creation and hold cases

Check a complete name, an incomplete request, and a possible duplicate before relying on the process.
