A practical example
Example: a marketing operations team routes all requests through one form.
Each request gets an owner, a decision within five business days, and automated status notifications at approval, launch, and reporting milestones, with a dashboard showing aging requests.
What to evaluate before investing
- Confirm the platform supports a structured intake form with required fields, not just free-form tickets.
- Ask whether status notifications to requesters can be automated at defined milestones.
- Verify aging or stalled requests are visible in a report that leadership can review without manual assembly.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Follow-up process adds overhead; if intake criteria are unclear, teams spend effort updating requesters on campaigns that should have been declined at submission, so decision rules must be defined before automating notifications.
