Respond to 'Remove me' by completing the stop action first

Define the decision

A removal request can arrive in a thread that still has pending follow-ups. Merely replying politely does not ensure those steps stop. The operator must preserve the request in the appropriate exclusion process and check overlapping work within the scope they control.

Work through the procedure

1. Identify the recipient and the request without requiring them to repeat it through another channel.
2. Apply the appropriate stop and suppression action in the current workflow.
3. Check pending and overlapping campaigns for the same recipient where applicable.
4. If an acknowledgement is useful, keep it short and limit its claims to the verified action.

Worked example

The following is a synthetic example for this procedure, not a customer result or performance benchmark.

After verification:
'Your address has been removed from this outreach, and the pending promotional follow-ups have been stopped.'
Avoid: 'Before you go, can I show you why this is relevant?'
Avoid: promising deletion from every external system when only one campaign was updated.

Read the result

The acknowledgement is operational, not another sales opportunity. If the request also concerns deletion or other data rights, route that through the responsible process. Do not erase the information needed to prevent future accidental contact without understanding how suppression is maintained.

Check before moving on

1. Verify the actual recipient record rather than matching only a display name.
2. Keep the stop request visible after re-imports.
3. Do not send a confirmation that contains a new pitch.

Limits and next action

This is an operational response method, not a complete legal response policy. Zintara's suppression scope must be checked rather than assumed to cover every external system or workspace. Acknowledge only actions you have verified.
