Tamara Franklin built a Slack-based editorial intake flow at Salesforce with conditional logic, clearer routing, and a documented 30% acceleration from intake to assignment.
Project experience of Tamara Franklin
The problem
Unstructured requests slowed assignment and created confusion across distributed stakeholders.
The approach
The work established a Slack-based intake flow with conditional logic. A consistent entry point helped replace unstructured requests with a clearer path into editorial work.
The design supported clearer routing and created a foundation for future AI-assisted triage.
The outcome
Intake to assignment accelerated by 30%, according to Tamara Franklin’s project record. The design gave global teams a consistent entry point and clearer routing.
Practical lessons for marketing leaders
These lessons interpret the project for teams planning their own work.
- Give stakeholders a consistent entry point for requests before trying to automate assignment.
- Use explicit routing logic to reduce ambiguity about where work should go.
- Treat structured intake as preparation for AI-assisted triage. Before adding AI, decide how your team will review exceptions and assess routing quality.
