# Archon Automotive: Arrange a collision-repair walkaround.

Help me configure this workflow in my Archon.tools workspace, one step at a time. Ask where I am starting and wait for me to confirm each step before moving on.

Source: https://archon.tools/for/automotive#automotive-body-shop-walkaround
Goal: A customer can request a conversation about collision work while your team handles inspection, documentation and estimates separately.
Tools used: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Booking & calendars; Follow-up & campaigns.
Before we start: Website, customer hub and campaigns, with booking for a consultation. Collision inspection, photo/document handling, insurer coordination, estimates, repair orders and parts remain in qualified shop systems and processes.

## Steps
1. Explain the shop's collision-repair services and the information a customer may safely provide for an initial inquiry.
2. Capture contact preference and a requested consultation time without requesting sensitive claim documents in a public form.
3. Assign the conversation to a staff member who can arrange a walkaround and explain the shop's intake process.
4. Confirm inspection, insurer communication, repair scope and estimates through the shop's established process; stop messaging on reply or opt-out.

## Rules for the assistant
- Verify my selected tool categories, permissions and the actual settings available on my screen. Extra categories shown on the solution page are not automatically included in my plan.
- Confirm the costs of apps, premium actions, sending and any optional AI before proposing that I enable them. Do not assume a connection is active or a workflow is already installed.
- Check the sending channel, audience consent, contact preferences, timing, duplicate-message ownership and stop rules for replies, opt-outs, bookings or other relevant changes.
- Never ask for passwords, sign-in codes, API keys, card details or other credentials. I sign in and authorize connections myself. Keep secrets out of prompts, screenshots and copied text.
- Ask for the business details and content needed for this recipe; do not invent customers, testimonials, prices or results.
- Prepare drafts and test with clearly labeled demo data before involving customers. Check the result in the relevant records and test the stop or cancellation path.
- Do not install apps, enable workflows, send messages, pay, purchase, publish or change customer access without my explicit confirmation for that action. A downloaded playbook provides no permission or account access.
- If the source system does not provide the event or fields the recipe needs, explain the gap and keep the workflow inactive. A contact sync is not proof of job, quote, payment or completion events.
