Find supplier requests that need a follow-up
Output
Three supplier threads at Harbor & Pine need follow-up. Each contains an overdue commitment with no later message from either side.
As of September 14, 2026. Dates below were explicitly promised in the threads. Silence is measured in calendar days, not elapsed 24-hour periods.
| Supplier | Commitment | Due date | Last message | Silence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mossbank Textiles | Confirm delivery of Alder Wool Throws | Sep 11 | Sep 8, supplier | 6 days |
| Covebend Ceramics | Quote replacement Quarry Stoneware Bowl Sets | Sep 10 | Sep 7, Maya | 7 days |
| Fernwick Packing | Provide a fix for damaged shipping inserts | Sep 9 | Sep 4, supplier | 10 days |
Fernwick Packing has the longest silence and is five days past its promised date. Start there, then request updates on the quote and delivery confirmation.
No other unresolved supplier commitments were found in the reviewed threads. Email silence does not establish whether delivery or work happened elsewhere. No follow-up messages were drafted or sent.
Automation steps. The agent follows these 2 steps each time it runs, using your connected email and calendar.
- 1
Find email threads with suppliers where a delivery, quote, fix, or other commitment has had no follow-up from either side.
- 2
For each, list the supplier, what was promised, the due date, and how long it has been since the last message.
Adjust the automation in Chat
Run this automation and tell the agent what to do differently. Ask it to schedule that version if you want the changes in future runs.
- Flag only commitments overdue by three days.
- Include threads with no agreed due date.
- Check supplier threads every Monday morning.
Fieldwork emails the scheduled report. Each email links to the full run as a conversation in Fieldwork. The automation asks the agent to keep a log in your knowledge base and read it before each run to check what has changed.
Adjustable schedule
Choose how often it runs at setup, from hourly to monthly. Ask in Fieldwork chat for a custom schedule and timezone.
Only useful reports
When nothing needs attention, the run skips the email. When there are findings, you get a report with a link to the full conversation.
No messages sent
An automated run has no tool that sends, posts, or replies. The agent can update notes and its log in your Fieldwork knowledge base.
This automation reads your email and calendar. Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 to Fieldwork. The automation uses whichever you connect.
