An assistant is an alternative when linked dates affect a supplier offer.

A deadline reminder is sufficient when fitting and alteration dates already agree.

This article is from Righthand. The customer story and result are illustrative.

## The work that the customer wants

A dance studio received costumes for an adult recital. A supplier can do alterations, but the deadline in its message precedes the final fitting.

The manager supplies the fitting date and supplier email. The manager gives approval for the alteration order.

The Righthand has its own email address and phone number. You can give instructions by email, text, phone, or Slack. [Righthand introduction](https://docs.righthand.ai/introduction).

For this example, the Righthand uses its own email address. It identifies itself as the team's assistant. Company account access is a different setup choice. [Account connections](https://docs.righthand.ai/guides/adding-your-first-connection).

## The request to the Righthand

> Send the supplier the supplied fitting date.
>
> Get the latest alteration submission date.
>
> Get the return date for completed alterations.
>
> Send the rush fee to the manager.
>
> Send the recital manager the result in this conversation.
>
> Use Pacific time for the deadline.

## What the Righthand does

The Righthand sends these questions by email. It sends the reply to the recital manager.

The studio manager must give approval for garment requirements and rush charges.

## An illustrative result

> The supplier accepts submissions after the fitting but must have a rush fee for recital delivery.

The manager gives a decision about the fee and the fitting plan before giving approval for alterations.

## Access and permission

If you want direct account access, connect the account independently. Make sure that the Righthand has the necessary operation and access. A catalog entry does not establish each available action. [Connection Permissions](https://docs.righthand.ai/guides/add-a-connection).

With **Ask**, an outward instruction must identify the recipient and task. New approval can be necessary for a changed commitment. Connection tool permissions are another required control. [Communications Policy](https://docs.righthand.ai/security/external-communications).

## Try the procedure with one task

1. Give the Righthand one task with a teammate as the contact.
2. Make sure that the teammate receives the permitted email.
3. Tell the teammate to reply with a different request.
4. Compare the returned decision with that reply.
5. Examine the email records in [Activity](https://docs.righthand.ai/guides/working-with-your-righthand).
