# Archon.tools for painters & remodelers: Follow up without losing the project context.

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/painting#project-follow-up
Goal: An interested homeowner receives relevant information while your team keeps control of the conversation.
Tools used: Customer hub & inbox; Follow-up & campaigns.
Before we start: Customer hub and campaigns, an approved audience and a working sending channel. If an estimate lives in Jobber or another system, use a confirmed event or a deliberate staff update; contact sync is not an estimate-status feed.

## Steps
1. Choose the inquiry stage and consented audience that should receive follow-up.
2. Prepare a short sequence with relevant project information and a way to reply.
3. Check recipient, timing and stop conditions using your own test contact.
4. Stop or pause the sequence when the person replies, opts out or moves to the agreed stage.

## 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.
