Hi referral_source_first_name,

We will handle the introduction carefully and professionally. As you know, confidentiality matters in legal work, so we may not be able to share details about any consultation or representation unless referred_person_first_name authorizes us to do so.
I appreciate you thinking of us and trusting our team with people in your network.

Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use when firm policy permits acknowledging a referral and authorized staff can confirm what limited information may be included. Keep the message separate from intake, conflict review, representation decisions, and confidential matter communications.
What this replaces
Replaces improvised thank-you notes that can disclose unnecessary information about the referred person, matter, consultation, or whether the firm accepted the representation.
Why teams standardize this email
A controlled acknowledgment helps the firm thank a client, colleague, or professional contact while preserving confidentiality boundaries and avoiding promises about the referral outcome.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.
- Fills the referral source and referred person's first names
- Adds the selected matter type and approved relationship note
- Includes the sender name and firm email in the editable draft
- Applies the configured referral thank-you tag when the workflow starts
