INQUIRY INTAKE · Workflow idea
For a business receiving website contact requests, organize submitted details for the responsible team and prepare a simple receipt for the person who wrote in. A form submission does not automatically permit unrelated marketing, and a notification may expose private contact details too broadly. Explain the purpose and retention, collect only needed fields, verify the response address, and keep any substantive commitment or follow-up under staff approval.
01 / The starting point
A visitor’s voluntary form submission, a disclosed use purpose, and an approved intake team
“Capture and acknowledge an inquiry without adding the person to unrelated contact or marketing lists.”
02 / The work
Receives website form details, prepares a team notification and a receipt draft, and organizes the submission for follow-up.
Check the original message, the sender’s contact preferences, and whether this response is permitted.
Compare proposed wording with the responsible source and leave unknown details unresolved.
Include only information needed by the intended recipient and protect message history.
Verify the address, account, audience, and any opt-out or suppression status.
Have an accountable person approve the complete message and destination.
03 / The result
A restricted inquiry record with receipt status and an accountable owner.
