CUSTOMER MESSAGE RECORDS · Workflow idea

Keep customer conversations connected to the right record—with privacy in view.

For a business authorized to receive and record customer messages, distinguish inbound one-to-one conversations from outbound or group traffic, match a sender to an existing contact, and prepare a message record for the service team. If no reliable match exists, route a proposed new contact for review rather than creating a mistaken identity. Explain the recordkeeping purpose, minimize sensitive message content, restrict access, and honor applicable privacy and communication choices.

  1. Confirm authority and inbound-message scope

    Use only the business account and message types approved for recordkeeping.

  2. Exclude outbound and group conversations

  3. Match the sender to an existing contact

    Use reliable identifiers and send ambiguous or shared numbers to human review.

  4. Prepare a minimal, restricted message record

    Retain only the context needed for service and limit access to the responsible team.

  5. Review new contacts and follow-up

    Have an owner approve uncertain identity matches and any planned customer contact.

Something to build on.

Keep in mind

Phone numbers can be shared or incorrectly formatted, and messages may contain sensitive information. Confirm the source and purpose, exclude group or outbound messages, verify contact matches, keep only necessary content, and require a person to review uncertain matches or new records.
