CONTACT INTAKE · Workflow idea

Give every new contact a careful first check.

When someone submits a website inquiry, tidy the name fields and check whether the email address follows a basic expected format. Prepare a contact record for a person to verify before saving it, and keep invalid or uncertain addresses out of outreach until the contact’s details and communication preferences are resolved.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person submits their contact details through an approved website form

“Format submitted names, check the email address for basic issues, and hold the proposed contact record for human review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team catch obvious contact-entry problems and keep new inquiries organized for careful follow-up.

  1. Receive a submitted inquiry

    Keep the submitted contact details linked to the form and purpose for which they were provided.

  2. Format the submitted name

    Make the name easier to read without changing or guessing at the person’s identity.

  3. Check the email’s basic format

    Flag an address that appears incomplete or malformed while making clear that format checking does not verify ownership.

  4. Prepare a contact record for review

    Show the source, submitted fields, and validation result to an authorized contact owner.

  5. Approve before saving or contacting

    Require a person to verify the record and confirm the appropriate communication permissions before it is saved or used.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A contact record with its source and validation status, awaiting approval before it is saved or used for communication.

Keep in mind

Contact details are personal information, and a syntactically valid email does not prove ownership, permission, or marketing consent. Limit access, retain only necessary fields, have a person approve the record before adding it to a contact system, and confirm documented permission before any marketing outreach.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved forms and fields

Select the forms in scope and collect only the contact details needed to respond to the stated request.

Define basic formatting checks

Agree which issues should be flagged and how uncertain or invalid addresses are held for review.

Set contact access and consent rules

Limit record access and define how contact preferences and documented permissions are checked before outreach.

Test valid, invalid, and repeat submissions

Confirm a person can review each case and that an invalid address is not treated as permission to contact.

Keep exploring

Review new lead intake

Collect a contact’s details and interests through a short series of forms, keep their answers together, and let a person review the record and any follow-up before reaching out.
