Workflow Template
Sponsorship Enquiry Contact Form Workflow
Captures public website sponsorship enquiries, sends immediate confirmation, classifies and prioritises the opportunity, assigns it to the right marketing/partnerships owner, gathers a fit review and decision, notifies the submitter, closes the enquiry, and follows up with a short feedback request the next day.
Organisations receiving sponsorship enquiries through their public website face reputational and compliance exposure when responses are inconsistent, undocumented, or delayed. This workflow governs the full enquiry lifecycle within assess.one — from intake and automatic confirmation through classification, prioritisation, ownership assignment, fit review, and final decision communication — giving marketing and partnerships teams a controlled, auditable process. It engages submitters, marketing/partnerships owners, and reviewers under a consistent status and routing framework, supporting timely, accountable responses at scale.
Business Outcomes

- Supports consistent classification and prioritisation of sponsorship opportunities
- Improves accountability by assigning each enquiry to a designated marketing/partnerships owner
- Strengthens audit readiness with a documented status trail from intake to closure
- Designed to increase submitter satisfaction through timely decision communication and follow-up feedback requests

FAQs
How is this workflow audited within assess.one?
Every step — enquiry creation, status changes, classification outcomes, routing decisions, and final approval or decline — is recorded within assess.one, creating a chronological record of how each sponsorship enquiry was handled. Reviewers and administrators can trace who took action, when, and what decision was reached at each stage. This supports internal governance reviews and helps demonstrate consistent handling of external enquiries if questioned by leadership or compliance.
Who has access to sponsorship enquiry records and decisions?
Access is configured directly within assess.one based on role, so marketing and partnerships owners, reviewers, and administrators only see the records and steps relevant to their responsibilities. Manual review and fit assessment steps can be restricted to designated approvers, while submitters interact only through automated confirmation and decision emails. Permissions can be adjusted at any time as team structures or approval authority change.
How does this integrate with email and SMS notifications?
Confirmation emails, decision emails, and optional confirmation SMS messages are configured within assess.one's notification settings — no external tools or developer work are required. The workflow checks whether a mobile number was provided before triggering SMS, so communication channels adapt automatically per enquiry. Notification templates and triggers can be edited directly within the platform as messaging needs evolve.
Can the classification and prioritisation logic be customised?
Yes. The classification and prioritisation steps, along with the confidence-based routing logic that determines whether an enquiry proceeds automatically or requires manual review, can all be adjusted within assess.one. Teams can redefine classification categories, priority thresholds, or confidence rules to reflect changing sponsorship strategy without rebuilding the workflow.
What happens when manual review of classification or priority is triggered?
When an enquiry's classification confidence falls below the configured threshold, it routes to a manual review step where a designated reviewer assesses and confirms or corrects the classification and priority. The outcome of this manual review then determines subsequent routing, ensuring low-confidence cases receive human judgment before proceeding. This checkpoint helps maintain decision quality without slowing down clearly classified enquiries.
How is the sponsorship fit review decision handled?
Once assigned, the marketing/partnerships owner conducts a fit review and records the outcome, which is persisted against the enquiry record for future reference. Based on this outcome, the workflow routes the enquiry toward requesting more information, approval, or decline. This structured decision point supports consistent fit assessment criteria across different owners and enquiry types.
Who needs to be involved in this workflow, and what are their responsibilities?
Key participants typically include marketing/partnerships owners who conduct fit reviews and make decisions, reviewers who handle manual classification checks, and administrators who configure routing rules and notification settings. Submitters are engaged automatically through confirmation and decision communications without needing platform access. Roles and responsibilities can be reassigned within assess.one as team capacity or organisational structure changes.
What compliance or approval considerations apply to enquiry decisions?
The workflow enforces a status progression — Received, Under Review, Approved, or Declined — that reflects a controlled approval path rather than ad hoc email responses. This structure helps ensure decisions are made by an assigned owner following a documented fit review, supporting internal accountability standards. Organisations with stricter governance needs can add further approval steps or reviewer sign-offs directly within assess.one.
How long does implementation take?
This workflow is a ready-to-use template that can be published in minutes, after which it is immediately live for capturing and processing sponsorship enquiries. There is no lengthy implementation project; teams can begin routing real enquiries right away and refine steps, roles, or notification logic as needed within assess.one.
What happens after an enquiry is closed?
Once a decision has been communicated and the enquiry closed, assess.one automatically triggers a short feedback request to the submitter the next day. This follow-up step is configurable and helps organisations gather insight into submitter experience without adding manual follow-up work for the marketing or partnerships team.
