INQUIRY INTAKE · Workflow idea

Keep incoming requests organized while respecting what each person agreed to share.

For a website form whose purpose and data use are clearly explained, validate the submitted fields and create a matching inquiry record in the team’s customer database. Collect only what is needed, reject or flag malformed input, prevent duplicates, restrict access to the responsible team, and do not use submission as consent for unrelated marketing or outreach.
