Capture the signal
Use meeting notes, emails, forms, call summaries, or CRM changes as the workflow trigger.

Pull out owner, deadline, promised action, missing information, and customer priority.
Create the work
Update the CRM, create tasks, draft follow-up emails, and notify the right person.

For customer communication, the safest pattern is draft, review, send.
