PERSONAL ASSISTANT ACTION REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make everyday requests easier to handle without giving up control.

Let an authorized user describe a communication or calendar task in plain language, then prepare the proposed message, recipient, event, or change for confirmation. Check names, dates, time zones, and contact details against the request, and require the account owner to approve the exact action before sending, scheduling, changing, or cancelling anything.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

  1. Understand the owner’s request

    Clarify the intended task, person, account, timing, and any missing details before preparing an action.

  2. Check the relevant contact or calendar context

    Use only the information needed and flag conflicting names, dates, or availability.

  3. Prepare the proposed message or event

    Show the exact wording, recipients, event details, and any requested change in a reviewable form.

  4. Ask for explicit confirmation

    Let the account owner correct or reject the proposal before anything is sent or changed.

  5. Carry out only the confirmed action

    Require fresh approval for cancellations, deletions, external invitations, and any action affecting another person.

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A proposed message or calendar action with its relevant details and clear owner-approval status.

Keep in mind

A mistaken name, time, recipient, or interpretation can disclose information or change someone’s schedule. Keep access limited to the account owner, show the complete proposed action, and require confirmation before sending a message, inviting participants, creating or changing an event, or cancelling or deleting anything.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the authorized user and accounts

Limit the assistant to named users and the mail, calendar, and contact information they are permitted to access.

Set confirmation requirements

Require a complete preview and owner confirmation before every outgoing message or calendar change.

Clarify ambiguous requests

Set rules for missing dates, similar names, time zones, cancellations, and requests with external impact.

Review access and activity

Give the account owner a way to review connected permissions and actions taken on their behalf.
