Timing
Only after the project, service, account, and exception records are current and match.

- Pause automation and assign replies, scope additions, field conditions, access events, missing items, property concerns, disputes, and punch items to the declared owner.
Before You Use This Email
Why This Approach Works
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
A customer-supplied item is assigned to an accepted task and its bounded review record is ready for customer disposition.
Segment
Authorized customers whose project includes a customer-supplied item requiring a controlled decision.
Delay
Send after the record is reconciled and before the next dependent operational action.
Reply owner: Project owner responsible for item identity, visible completeness, documented assumptions, scope, responsibilities, price, schedule, and specialist escalation.
- Verify property authority, task schedule, version of the record, owner, communication consent, access method, and applicable safety, trade, permit, product, security, and jurisdictional dependencies.
- Send minimum necessary evidence with one clear intake, confirmation, estimate, approval, custody, change, status, or handoff path.
- Record the decision, stop conflicting automation, and update request, task, estimate, item, access, project, change, invoice, punch, warranty, and closeout records.
Stop conditions
- Approval, corrected item, clarification, or company-supplied decision.
- Item, task, scope, condition, or version of the record changes.
- Compatibility, safety, recall, permit, regulated-trade, warranty, dispute, or specialist review.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Treating a list, photo thread, estimate, customer-supplied item, access permission, verbal add-on, partial completion, and closeout as one scope
Customers and workers may rely on different assumptions about included tasks, materials, authority, price, or completion.
Use instead: Use task IDs, exact versions, completion criteria, responsibilities, and documented decisions.
- Automating unsupported compatibility, concealed-condition, finish-match, trade, permit, code, structural, security, or warranty claims
Small tasks can cross material safety and regulated-work boundaries despite appearing simple.
Use instead: Use specific evidence, verified capability, explicit exclusions, and specialist escalation.
Sequence Placement
Use only at the verified task or project lifecycle event represented by the current record; suppress when stale, superseded, unsafe, disputed, resolved, canceled, or under specialist, legal, insurer, security, or human control.
