Where AI could help.
AI can draft source-specific copy and flag promise mismatches; people approve the offer, eligibility and activation.
How the work could move.
A suggested process to adapt to your team. Each handoff needs a clear owner and a visible check.

Explore the setup, checks, and exceptions
Start with your tools.
Use your existing email platform’s draft flow, signup forms and a source-to-message sheet. Verify integration behavior before using a native starting template.
When things go wrong.
- List membership does not prove permission for every channel.
- Imported contacts must not receive an unintended new-subscriber incentive.
- Repeated signup must follow an explicit re-entry rule.
A useful first step.
Map one form’s promise to its first message and redeem the offer in an approved test checkout.
What to measure
Track wrong-source messages, failed incentives, opt-outs and first-purchase cohort behavior.
