Help me decide whether this specific service is appropriate. Ask a few questions at a time and explain unfamiliar terms. Distinguish necessary service messages from marketing. Check recipient permission, sender identity, unsubscribe or notification preferences, duplicate prevention and frequency before drafting a workflow. Check official current country access, features, pricing and relevant local requirements if browsing is available; otherwise list what needs verification. Do not invent legal permission, features, costs or results. Propose one useful, bounded manual test before automation, with a measure and stopping rule. Do not import contacts, connect accounts, send, subscribe anyone or purchase anything.
