Key points
Finalise the post-send follow-up handoff
Record the clarification against the original submission and link any revised answer to that send record. Avoid resending the full application or creating an untracked duplicate pack when one bounded reply is enough.
Useful context
Control a post-send rental follow-up
The follow-up record should reference the original property, recipient, send time and file version before asking one bounded question.
The file check centres on the post send follow up decision when answering the property follow-up.
Working checklist
Keep post-send follow-up traceable
Log any requested change against the original version.
Read the selected record itself before completing any part of the post-send follow-up check.
- Original send time: label the relevant period clearly so post-send follow-up cannot be read against the wrong dates.
- Recipient: keep the post-send question with the property contact who raised it and the submission they are reviewing.
- Property: use the property reference attached to this post-send follow-up request.
- Question: preserve the post-send wording so the reply changes only the requested part of the submission.
- Requested response: record the exact confirmation or clarification sought after sending, rather than reopening the whole application.

Working checklist
Move from post-send follow-up to application preparation
Retain enough context to reproduce the post-send follow-up decision without reopening unrelated personal material.
Practical example
A renter's post-send follow-up decision
The renter receives a request to clarify one date. They reply against the original submission record and do not resend the full application or create an untracked duplicate pack.

Risks to avoid with post send follow up

Keep personal information relevant to the recipient's stated purpose and avoid adding sensitive material that was not requested.
