Start wherever you are

Bring a routing problem or an existing process. Your agent helps you work through ownership and the next step.

Start with your AI assistant. Connect tools when needed.

Fictional example

You

Inbound demo requests land with me, even when someone else should take them.

Agent

How would you decide who is best placed to help?

You

Lena handles agencies and Omar handles in-house teams. We need a fallback when either is unavailable.

One possible routing plan after exploring ownership, availability, and exceptions together

Proposed route · fallback not yet agreed

Clear owners. One fallback to decide.

For this fictional agency request, Lena is the proposed owner. Check availability before making a promise to the prospect.

Primary route
Agency enquiry → Lena, provided she can take it. In-house team enquiry → Omar, under the same condition.
Proposed fallback
Keep unclear requests with the current coordinator for review, if you choose this fallback. Do not silently assign them to an unavailable owner.
Before offering a meeting
Confirm the purpose, owner, duration, time zone, and actual available times through an authorized source.

Agreed in this example

The team has chosen Lena for agencies and Omar for in-house teams. A fallback owner has not been agreed.

Still to check

The fallback choice, Lena’s capacity and calendar, the prospect’s time zone, and whether a meeting is the useful next step.

A next step to resolve

Choose the fallback owner, then check Lena’s availability before offering times or applying the exception path.

Context & open questions
Existing ownership
Check whether this person or company already has an owner before applying a new routing rule.
Meeting status
Suggested times, an invitation sent, and a meeting accepted are different states. Verify and report the actual one.
Status
Plan only. No assignment changed, calendar accessed, invitation sent, or meeting booked.

Your result will reflect your conversation. Keep it in your assistant or a document you choose.

Read the full guide

Start wherever you are

Start with one enquiry or a routing problem. You can work out the rules before connecting tools.

Figure it out together

  1. Choose what determines ownership

    Discuss customer needs, existing relationships, team responsibilities, and capacity.

  2. Handle the exceptions

    Decide what should happen when information is missing, ownership conflicts, or someone is unavailable.

  3. Arrange the right next step

    Agree the meeting purpose and details, check real availability, and distinguish an offer from a confirmed booking.
