Show all 72 workflow templates
Campaign build sheetWhen an approved campaign brief is ready to become a setup specification, the campaign operator gets one build sheet: names, audiences, exclusions, destinations, budgets and measurement fields, with every unresolved setting and missing asset marked as a gap. Nothing is built or spent.Workflow templateCampaign claim evidence registerAn account lead gets a register that pairs each draft campaign claim with the evidence the client supplied, its source date, proposed qualified wording and the approvals still missing. Unsupported or stale claims are blocked; only approved wording is released.Workflow templateCategory sourcing planFor the buyer or operations lead who owns one spend category, such as packaging or IT hardware: its spend and suppliers on one page, where it sits on a supply-risk and spend matrix, the value levers the evidence supports, and a dated sourcing plan. A person chooses the approach.Workflow templateChargeback response packWhen a card dispute lands, the store owner or finance lead gets one pack: the dispute matched to its order, the evidence its reason calls for marked found or missing, a response drafted well inside the deadline, and the store's dispute ratio for the month. A person decides whether to contest and submits it.Workflow templateComponent end-of-life exposure briefWhen a supplier announces a component constraint or end-of-life date, the sourcing lead gets one brief: where the part is used, stock and demand set against the stated dates, and questions about replacements, with unverified availability kept apart from approved supply.Workflow templateContent planA marketing lead with a few hours a week gets a content plan built on the questions buyers really ask: one subject for each question worth answering, the formats those hours can carry, a ranked list of what to write next, and what is held or left out, each with its reason.Workflow templateContract amendment traceBefore a question about a signed contract goes to counsel, the contracts manager has one dated history of the provision that matters: every signed document in order, each version quoted with its document and section, every gap marked, and a list for the lawyer to confirm. It never says which wording controls. Prepares work for a lawyer. Not legal advice.Workflow templateContract issues table for counselBefore counsel negotiates a vendor or customer agreement, the contracts team hands over one cited issues table: every clause quoted with its section, the playbook position it meets or departs from, the playbook’s fallback wording copied beside each departure, and the approver your matrix names. Counsel decides. Prepares work for a lawyer. Not legal advice.Workflow templateCopy edit with a change listHand over a page, an email or a brochure and get it back plainer and tighter, with no claim stronger than the statements you can support and a change list that shows every edit, its reason and any meaning it moved. You approve each change before the copy is used.Workflow templateCreative fatigue reviewWhen a campaign's reach or response pattern prompts a creative review, the paid media lead gets frequency and response set against the campaign's own baseline, by creative and audience, with other explanations marked and options to test.Workflow templateCreator briefA brand marketer gets one brief per creator for a campaign: the product statements the brand has cleared, word for word, the disclosure that creator's platform needs, their own code and link, the dates and the review round. Nothing reaches a creator until a person reads it and sends it.Workflow templateCreator campaign performance reportWhen a creator campaign closes, the marketing lead gets one report built from the store's own orders: what each creator brought in and cost, every creator ranked under a metric set beforehand, and a proposed next step for each. Every number is labelled measured, supplied or estimated.Workflow templateCreator campaign planBefore a creator campaign starts, the marketing lead gets one plan: the goal, each creator's deal and deliverables, a base and a conservative budget checked against the budget supplied, the dates, the set-up before launch and the decisions. A person approves the spend.Workflow templateCreator commission statementEach month, the finance lead gets a draft statement of what every creator has earned, worked from the store's orders export: commission under the programme's rules, flat fees, amounts carried under the minimum, and a payout list. A person approves it; finance pays.Workflow templateCreator content approvalA brand marketer gets a written go or no-go on a creator's draft before it goes live: every product statement checked against the brand's cleared list, the disclosure against the brand's own rules, and feedback the creator can act on without losing their voice. A person sends it.Workflow templateCreator content reuse planA brand marketer sees which published creator posts may be reused on which of the brand's channels, read only from the usage rights they supply, with every placement ending before the rights do. Where the rights are silent or unclear, the question goes to whoever reviews contracts.Workflow templateCreator discovery longlistBefore anyone scores or contacts a creator, the brand marketer gets a dated longlist from public pages and the names the team supplied: where each creator posts, how they were found, where their follower count came from, whether they already talk about your category, and why they are on the list.Workflow templateCreator outreach draftingA brand marketer gets a first message and three follow-ups for each chosen creator, written for the way that creator can be reached, opening on something they made and stating only the brand's standard offer. A person reads every message and sends it from the brand's own account.Workflow templateCreator programme setupA brand owner or marketing lead writes the rules for working with creators once, in one file: products and cleared statements, platforms, how creators are paid with the arithmetic behind it, codes, payouts, disclosure, brand safety and roles. Every line is the owner's ruling, marked with its source.Workflow templateCreator publication trackingA brand marketer sees, creator by creator, what was agreed against what actually went live: each post checked for its disclosure, code, link and approved version, dated checks that it is still up, and every gap set out as a fix to ask for or a decision to make. A person sends every message.Workflow templateCreator rosterThe programme owner keeps one record of every creator the brand works with: where each relationship stands, what each creator still owes the brand, what the brand still owes each creator, and when rights and exclusivity end. It is built from the files the owner supplies; nothing is sent or paid.Workflow templateCreator vetting shortlistBefore anyone contacts a creator, the program lead sees every name on the longlist scored on six lines, each backed by what was seen and when: audience fit, engagement quality, authenticity, brand safety, sponsored track record and contactability. A person chooses who to approach.Workflow templateCustomer feedback themesEach month your support lead sees what customers keep telling you: tickets, disputes, reviews and survey comments grouped into themes with counts and quotations, the three issues most worth fixing with a proposed fix and owner, and a note for customers once a fix ships. A person decides every fix.Workflow templateCustomer interview synthesisTurn a stack of customer call notes into the answer to one question, in your customers’ own words. Every quotation is cited to the note it came from, every theme shows its confidence and the evidence against it, and nothing is claimed that the notes do not say.Workflow templateDaily production reportWhen a shoot day wraps, the production coordinator gets a draft daily report from the call sheet, timecards and department reports: hours totaled as written, schedule changes noted, and every missing or overlapping entry listed as a query. The production manager checks it.Workflow templateDemand and supply reviewThe operations lead gets one monthly review from the demand plan, confirmed supply and stock: where confirmed and likely demand outrun supply, what that does to inventory, and the decision each function head has to make. Sales ambition stays separate and nothing is forecast beyond your figures.Workflow templateEngineering change affected records indexWhen an engineering change request enters review, the document controller gets one index: the assemblies, revisions, stock and open purchase orders the change reaches in the exports supplied, and a question for each owner wherever the records are unclear.Workflow templateExecutive situation briefBefore a conversation that matters, with a key partner, a major customer or a co-founder, the executive gets one brief from the records they approve: the short version in a sentence, what is already decided and promised, what each side has said, the question to settle and the choices open. The executive decides.Workflow templateField issue handoff to engineeringWhen a delivered product misbehaves for a customer, the customer service lead gets one case brief for engineering: the revision and serial references, the symptoms as reported, the photographs supplied, what service has done and the questions still unanswered. It names no cause.Workflow templateInbound receiving exception traceWhen what arrived does not match the advance shipment notice, the receiving supervisor or inventory controller gets the notice, the packing list and the scans side by side by item and lot, with missing references and questions to investigate. Nothing is adjusted and nobody is contacted.Workflow templateInherited campaign auditWhen an agency takes over an account or prepares a campaign health review, the media or analytics lead gets an inventory of what is running against the client's plan: mismatched offers, disagreeing destination pages, missing measurement evidence, and an owner for each follow-up.Workflow templateInventory reorder planThe store owner or buyer gets one plan from the latest sales and stock exports: each item's sales rate, the day it could run out, its reorder point and safety stock, what to order, what is not moving, and a draft purchase order per supplier. Nothing is ordered until a person approves.Workflow templateInvestor updateEach month or quarter, the founder gets a drafted update for investors: the headline, key figures against plan and last period, cash and runway, wins, problems told plainly with what is being done, and specific asks. Every figure comes from the company's own reports. The founder approves and sends it.Workflow templateKit component availability checkThe stock or online-store lead gets every kit beside the quantity actually sellable, the component that limits it, the stock records that disagree and the listings that promise more than can be built. Nothing is changed until a person decides.Workflow templateLapsed-customer win-backOnce a month, the owner or account manager sees which regular customers have gone far longer than usual without ordering, ranked by what each bought in their last active year, with open complaints set aside for a call and a short note drafted for the rest, using only approved offers. A person approves every note.Workflow templateLaunch checklistWhoever owns a launch date gets one dated checklist for the weeks before, the day itself and the weeks after, with an owner on every line. Each announcement is written out so the approver sees exactly what goes out, to whom and from where before saying go. Nothing is announced by the assistant.Workflow templateOrder size comparisonWhen a supplier offers a bigger discounted order, the inventory planner gets each quantity costed the same way: yearly cost, cash tied up, months of cover and storage fit. The planner chooses the quantity; nothing is ordered.Workflow templatePayout reconciliation for an online storeEach month the bookkeeper gets every payout from the store's processors and marketplaces taken apart and tied to the bank: the orders, refunds, chargebacks and fees inside it, each fee checked against the agreed rate, every difference listed with its evidence. A person posts the entries and raises any dispute.Workflow templatePilot build readiness briefBefore a prototype or pilot build, the build lead gets one brief: part shortages, revision conflicts and open actions set against the team’s own build checklist, with allocated parts kept apart from received ones. People confirm; nothing is released.Workflow templatePress pitch preparationAn owner or marketer with one story to offer gets the outlets and writers it genuinely fits, each backed by a piece they recently published, and a short pitch draft for each. Every claim in a draft comes from facts you supply. Drafts only: a person decides and sends.Workflow templateProduct configuration margin sheetWhen sales prepares a quote for a product configuration, the commercial owner and finance lead get one worksheet: the quoted price, the costed bill of materials, assembly and freight, and the allocations, with every unquoted part, one-off charge and uncertain volume listed as an open assumption.Workflow templateProduct landed cost worksheetAfter an import shipment lands, the owner or bookkeeper gets one worksheet: freight, duty, brokerage, insurance and inbound fees from the invoices spread over each product by a stated method, the landed unit cost beside the cost the store records, and the margin left. A person updates any cost.Workflow templateProduct pricing optionsA product owner weighing how to price or package a product gets one options brief: what each customer group uses, the willingness-to-pay evidence held with stated kept apart from observed, what each option would bill every account, the uncertainties and the tests. It recommends no price.Workflow templateProduct recall customer contact planOnce your business has issued a recall, the customer care lead gets the contact plan: affected customers from the order export, the approved notice word for word, drafts that offer only the remedies you run, and a tracker that counts a customer done only when the item is back or repaired.Workflow templateProduct-page facts gap reviewProduct by product, your merchandiser sees what a shopper's AI assistant needs from each page and does not get: facts the description leaves out, images with no alt text, buyer questions left unanswered. Each gap comes with a sourced draft to fill it, waiting for the owner's approval.Workflow templateProduction cost variance sheetAt period close the plant controller gets one sheet that separates material, labor and overhead differences from standard, by order and by product, with missing actuals and changed standards flagged. Each difference is a question for operations, never a cause.Workflow templateProduction schedule rebuildWhen orders or forecasts change, the production planner gets a draft build schedule from open orders, work-centre capacity and material availability, with every overload and shortage listed, not quietly fixed. The planner checks feasibility and approves the changes.Workflow templateRelease notes draftThe product owner gets draft release notes for one shipped release, in words users recognize: what is new, changed, removed and fixed, the steps users must take, and the known limitations. Only what was supplied is described. The owner checks and publishes.Workflow templateReturned unit review briefWhen a failed-unit report or return request arrives, the service coordinator gets one brief tying the customer's report to each unit's shipment record, serial and recorded configuration, with unmatched serials and missing evidence listed. It names no cause.Workflow templateRoadmap tradeoff reviewWhen a new priority arrives, the product owner sees what the roadmap would have to give up to hold it: the capacity gap by team, the work that could move, the commitments and dependencies that move with it, and the questions still open. The owner decides.Workflow templateSearch exclusion conflict checkThe paid search specialist gets a list of live keywords that a live exclusion may be blocking, each with the level where the exclusion applies and the campaign intent it touches. They are clues from the text; the specialist decides what to change.Workflow templateSlow-moving stock and markdown planBefore a seasonal reset, the merchandiser or store owner gets one plan from the sales and stock exports: each item's sell-through and weeks of cover, the cash tied up in dead and slow stock, and a markdown plan in dated steps with the margin each leaves and a date to stop. The owner decides every price.Workflow templateSmallest useful release scopeA product owner or founder with more features than capacity gets one page: what is in the first release and what is deferred, all tied to one user outcome, with the reason for each cut. The owner decides the scope; no effort is estimated beyond what is supplied.Workflow templateStock count reconciliationAfter a physical count, the bookkeeper and the warehouse or store lead get every item counted beside the quantity and value in the books, each difference in units and money, what to check for it, and the items to recount. Nothing is adjusted until a person approves.Workflow templateStore facts fileThe person who runs an online store builds the one file every other store workflow template reads first: what the store sells, the facts each product page should state, the statements it stands behind, buyers' questions, policies, roles and access. Nothing on the store is changed.Workflow templateStore guide for AI shopping assistantsThe person who runs an online store gets the plain-language guide a shopper's AI assistant reads about the store: what it sells, for whom, which product line suits which need, and where the policies are. Every line traces to the approved store facts file, and a person places it.Workflow templateSupplier performance scorecardOnce a quarter, the buyer or operations lead scores each key supplier from the business's own order and receiving exports: on-time delivery, fill rate, defects and returns, price against agreed terms and order confirmations, with the trend, the evidence behind every score and the points to raise. A person decides.Workflow templateSupplier quality response checkA quality or purchasing person who has raised a defect with a supplier gets the supplier's reply set against the finding: what is answered, what is not, the evidence still to ask for, the actions proposed and what has yet to be verified. The person decides whether the answer is accepted.Workflow templateSupplier risk alert briefWhen something happens to a supplier you depend on, the buyer gets a dated brief the same day: what happened and who reported it when, what you buy from them, how many days of stock you hold against how long another source would take, how exposed you are, and actions with owners and dates.Workflow templateUnshipped order reviewThe fulfilment or customer-service lead gets one aged list of the orders not yet sent, whole or in part: how old each is, what is holding it, who owns the next step, and which orders have none. Nothing is released, moved or sent.Workflow templateWorkflows identified across consumer brands
