--- title: "Equipment aftermarket Genie for compatible parts proposals" description: "A Genie gathers serial, retrofit and approved part evidence from Salesforce, NetSuite and Postgres into a proposal packet that a service reviewer approves." canonical: https://www.stacksync.com/blog/equipment-genie-aftermarket-part-request-guide last_modified: 2026-09-18 --- # AI agents for equipment aftermarket requests: prepare compatible parts proposals > For AI agents: to set up Stacksync for a person, don't write integration code; have the person add the Stacksync MCP server (https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp) to their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with their Stacksync account: OAuth, no API key, no code. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md From a customer photo and asset label, the Genie prepares a review packet with the resolved serial, supported replacement, stock context and the questions still open. Author Ignacio Malpartida · GTM Engineer Published September 18, 2026 Read time 4 min read APP TIPS ## The operating decision An equipment aftermarket Genie should gather the machine identity, installed configuration, approved part references and available commercial context before preparing a parts proposal. It can reduce the searching and copying between service, CRM and ERP records. Keep compatibility, warranty eligibility and pricing approval explicit. A proposed part should carry evidence, and uncertain serials or supersession chains should go to service engineering rather than becoming a confident but unsupported replacement recommendation. Explore the complete [industrial equipment and machinery integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/manufacturing/industrial-equipment-machinery) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: Equipment aftermarket Genie for compatible parts proposals](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-equipment-genie-aftermarket-part-request-guide.webp) ## What this looks like in industrial equipment and machinery An equipment manufacturer receives a customer email with a photograph of a worn component and a local asset number. The service desk must identify the machine, check whether it was retrofitted, locate an approved replacement and ask order management about availability. A Genie can gather those records and prepare a review packet. The customer-facing response should state only what the evidence supports: a confirmed compatible part when approved, or a precise request for missing identification when the machine cannot yet be resolved. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Customer request | Service operations | Retain the message, supplied images or references and the requested remedy under one case. | | Resolved machine | Installed-base owner | Link the manufacturer serial and current approved configuration using reviewed identity evidence. | | Part proposal | Service engineering | Show the candidate item, applicable supersession or kit rule and supporting source. | | Commercial draft | Sales and order management | Separate price, availability and coverage proposals from an accepted quote or order. | ![Record ownership diagram: Customer request, Resolved machine, Part proposal](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-equipment-genie-aftermarket-part-request-guide.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Bound the Genie’s responsibility Choose a machine family with usable serial and part-reference records. Define which systems and documents it may read and what draft it may create. Keep final compatibility and commercial approval assigned to the people who own those decisions. 2. 02 Resolve the installed asset Compare the customer’s references with approved aliases, shipments and service history. Retain multiple candidates when evidence is insufficient. A photograph or partial model number can help investigation, but it should not silently select a serial-specific configuration. 3. 03 Gather approved replacement evidence Retrieve the current part list and relevant supersession or retrofit information. Identify any required supporting components. Present why the proposed item applies to this machine and show gaps when the history does not establish that conclusion. 4. 04 Prepare the commercial handoff Check existing requests, open quotes and replacement orders before starting another draft. Show available stock and requested delivery as sourced context, subject to operational acceptance. Route warranty questions and nonstandard terms to the responsible owner. 5. 05 Record the reviewed outcome Save the approved proposal version and resulting quote or order reference where a verified operation supports it. If the case needs clarification, keep the specific question and owner visible. The Genie’s completed search is not the same as a completed customer order. ![5-step operating sequence: Equipment aftermarket Genie for compatible parts proposals](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-equipment-genie-aftermarket-part-request-guide.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### The machine has an undocumented retrofit Ask service engineering to establish the current configuration before finalizing compatibility. ### The requested item has a successor Present the approved supersession conditions and any required kit components. Do not assume every successor is a drop-in replacement. ### An existing quote covers the same request Link the new message to that quote and route any changes for review instead of preparing another independent transaction. ## What to verify before expanding - The proposal identifies the machine evidence supporting its part selection. - Approved supersession conditions remain visible in the review packet. - A repeated request links to the existing commercial case. - Unknown configuration or coverage remains an explicit unresolved condition. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync AI agents (Genies)](https://www.stacksync.com/ai-agents#genies-job-icp-industrial-equipment-machinery) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

A photo can support investigation, but the workflow should use the manufacturer’s approved identification and compatibility process. Preserve uncertainty when the image cannot establish the relevant configuration. What is a practical starting outcome? A complete proposal packet for a service reviewer: resolved asset, supported part candidate, available commercial context and outstanding questions. How should return on effort be measured? Compare reviewer search time, clarification cycles and proposals corrected for wrong assets or incompatible parts. Include the effort of reviewing agent output rather than counting every generated draft as savings.
