Routine steps run on their own. Sensitive ones wait for your approval.
// 01Workflow trigger

A resident reports a maintenance issue through a call, form, email, text, or portal.

Staff interpret the request, ask for missing details, decide urgency, coordinate vendors, update the resident, and then clean up records later.

// 02Tensor Action

Tensor structures the request, drafts the next resident or vendor step, pauses before commitments, and logs the evidence trail.

Show a maintenance request becoming a structured task, resident follow-up, vendor handoff, approval gate, and evidence record.
