# Introduction Request Checklist

> Protect relationship trust before, during, and after a warm introduction request.

## Before preparing the request

* Verify the target and connector identities.
* Confirm the path evidence matches the relationship you understand.
* Ask whether this connector is the right person, not merely the highest-ranked person.
* Use a specific reason for the introduction.
* Stop if the route is weak, stale, or socially inappropriate.

## Before external outreach

* Read the full draft and remove unsupported claims.
* Keep the ask short enough to evaluate and forward.
* Give the connector a genuine way to decline.
* Avoid sharing sensitive relationship or workspace data.
* Confirm the external channel and recipient yourself.

## After outreach

* Update Introd only when an event is confirmed.
* Do not mark a reply, meeting, or outcome based on a plan or assumption.
* Avoid repeated nudges when someone has declined, opted out, or not resolved a previous request.
* Close or archive stale records so the pipeline remains trustworthy.

The introduction tracker is useful only when its state matches reality. See [Track introduction requests](/introductions/track-requests).
