01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A supplied email address and any approved customer information

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes the information for a proposed Intercom user record and waits for a person to verify it before creation.

  1. Collect the user identifier

    Gather the email address the team intends to use to identify the person.

  2. Check the supplied details

    Confirm that the email address is complete and belongs to the intended customer before preparing a record.

  3. Look for an existing user

    Ask the reviewer to check whether the person already has a record so a duplicate is not created.

  4. Review the proposed record

    Show the identifier and any additional approved customer details together for confirmation.

  5. Create the user after approval

    Add the record only after an authorized person approves the identity and confirms that creation is appropriate.

  6. Report the outcome

    Show whether a user was created or whether the request needs more information or review.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A user record created after approval, or a clear review item when the identity is incomplete, uncertain, or may already exist.

The handoff

A user record created after approval, or a clear review item when the identity is incomplete, uncertain, or may already exist.

Keep in mind

Creating a user adds personal information to a customer system. Verify the email address, purpose, and existing record status, and collect only details the team needs.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the minimum required details

Decide which user information is necessary for this purpose and avoid collecting unrelated personal data.

Set identity and duplicate checks

Agree how an email address is verified and who resolves a match with an existing user.

Assign an authorized reviewer

Name the person who can approve new customer records and specify where requests awaiting review should appear.

Test uncertain and repeat requests

Check that incomplete details and possible existing users are held for review rather than added automatically.
