Mistakes To Avoid

  • Sending from a stale or contradictory plumbing record

    The customer may act on the wrong scope, amount, schedule, or status.

    Use instead: Reconcile the authoritative record immediately before enrollment and send.

  • Continuing automation after a reply or dispute

    It creates conflicting commitments and erodes trust.

    Use instead: Pause scheduled sends and assign a human owner.

Sequence Placement

Use after acceptance and before procurement, permitting, or final scheduling.
