# Archon.tools for creators & influencers: Keep every brand partnership organized. 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/creators#brand-inquiry Goal: The brief, conversation and decision stay together while you assess the partnership. Tools used: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Follow-up & campaigns. Before we start: Website, customer hub and campaigns; approved form fields, a working sending channel and tested stop rules. Booking is an optional category for a call link. You assess and agree each partnership; this workflow does not find sponsors, negotiate contracts or process brand payouts. ## Steps 1. Collect the brand, campaign goal, proposed deliverables, timing and contact details through a focused inquiry form. 2. Keep the submission with the brand contact and an opportunity; review fit, availability and missing information yourself. 3. Prepare an acknowledgement and the next questions through your configured channel, with a clear owner for the reply. 4. Stop follow-up on a reply, opt-out, acceptance or decline; agree fees, usage rights, disclosures and deliverables separately before work begins. ## Related setup guides - Build a brand inquiry form.: Collect the campaign brief and contact details you need to assess a potential partnership. https://archon.tools/guidance/capture-an-inquiry - Organize your audience and brand relationships.: Keep inquiries, active partners, customers and opted-in subscribers in clear stages and segments. https://archon.tools/guidance/organize-your-contacts - Plan your next content campaign.: Use Social Planner with your own approved assets, channel-specific drafts and a verified first publication. https://archon.tools/guidance/schedule-a-month-of-posts - Prepare your first learning offer.: Arrange your own lessons and test the member experience before inviting your audience. https://archon.tools/guidance/prepare-a-course ## 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. ## Plan and costs FREE 30-day workspace trial. Card required; renews automatically unless canceled.
