DIY: how to set this up yourself

A high-level path to a basic version you can build in Claude on your own.

  1. Decide the trigger moment, for example job complete, invoice paid or a good review left.
  2. Ask Claude to draft a short, genuine referral request message for that moment.
  3. Offer a simple incentive if that suits your business, like a discount or small thank-you.
  4. Set it to go out automatically a few days after the trigger.
  5. Keep a simple log of who's referred you so you can say thanks.
