Working checklist
Build the post-send follow-up control
Log any requested change against the original version.
Limit the follow-up after portal submission response to the details that serve the current property question.
- Original send time: preserve the timestamp of the submission that prompted the follow-up.
- Recipient: match the follow-up to the contact recorded on the original portal submission.
- Property: keep the relevant address or property identifier beside the selected item.
- Question: ask only about the unresolved portal status, file receipt or next action shown by the submission record.
- Requested response: quote the post-submission question and answer only the changed or missing point.

Useful context
Follow up after a rental portal submission
A post-send question should point back to the exact submitted version instead of creating a second uncontrolled application pack.
The decision here concerns the follow up after rental portal submission decision after the submission confirmation.
Practical example
A practical post-send follow-up example
