An assistant is an alternative when an external deadline differs from the campaign calendar.

A campaign reminder is sufficient when the donation has no separate matching process.

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

## The work that the customer wants

A supporter tells the coordinator an employer will match a gift. The matching form deadline differs from the charity's campaign deadline.

The coordinator supplies the supporter email and charity receipt. The employer gives approval for its matching program.

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

> Contact the supporter about the supplied matching deadline.
>
> Get the required submission date and requested charity information.
>
> Send the form requirements to the development coordinator.
>
> Send the development coordinator 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 development coordinator.

The employer must give any eligibility or matching-payment decision.

## An illustrative result

> The supporter must have the charity's receipt reference by Thursday. The campaign can continue after that date.

The coordinator supplies the approved receipt information before the employer's deadline.

## 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).
