CONTACT INTAKE · Workflow idea
Start with a simple contact or newsletter sign-up, then offer a few short follow-up questions to understand the person’s interests. Keep their answers together for a team member to review, and make sure any later outreach is relevant, permitted, and approved by a person.
01 / The starting point
A person shares contact details and chooses to continue with optional questions
“Collect contact information and follow-up responses in clear steps, respect the person’s choices, and hold any external outreach for human review.”
02 / The work
Helps a small team collect useful contact details without asking a new visitor to complete one long form.
Ask for the minimum information needed and explain why the team is requesting it.
Let the person choose whether to continue and collect only interests relevant to the stated purpose.
Bring the person’s initial submission and later responses together without silently replacing their original details.
Have a team member check the information, consent, and any request not to be contacted before using it.
Require a person to verify the purpose, permission, exact message, and recipient before contacting the lead.
03 / The result
A contact record with the person’s submitted interests and preferences, ready for staff review before any follow-up message.

04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Explain who is collecting the information, what it will be used for, and which people may access it.
Use short, optional questions and avoid collecting sensitive or unrelated personal details.
Define how contact preferences are recorded, how removal requests are handled, and when information is deleted.
Name who checks consent and approves the exact wording and recipient of every external message.
