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."

Author Ignacio Malpartida · GTM Engineer Published September 18, 2026 Read time 5 min read APP TIPS ## The operating decision MEP closeout exceptions should be organized around decisions that an agent cannot safely infer: warranty eligibility, callback classification, unclear parts usage and missing customer acceptance. A Genie can collect the relevant visit and agreement evidence, compare statements and draft an owned review task. Keep the original technician record visible. The agent should not classify every return visit as warranty, interpret a signature as unlimited approval, or make up an item code to finish a billing packet. Explore the complete [commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/commercial-mep-contractors) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: Warranty, callback and sign-off exceptions in MEP closeout](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-mep-service-closeout-exceptions-warranty-work-callbacks-missing-parts-and-customer-sign-off.webp) ## What this looks like in commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors An electrical contractor returns to a site after a repaired circuit fails again. The second technician notes a different fault, uses a part from truck stock and leaves before the facility manager can sign. The customer calls it a callback, but the service manager needs to determine whether the new work falls under the prior repair. Billing needs a decision, not a confident label. The exception packet should assemble both visits and identify the unresolved scope and part evidence. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Related visits | Service administration | Link the original work and return visit without combining their evidence. | | Coverage decision | Service manager | Record why work is warranty, callback, included service or separately chargeable. | | Part-identification exception | Inventory owner | Resolve the item and quantity from technician and stock evidence. | | Acceptance gap | Account or site contact owner | Determine whether required customer evidence is missing or incomplete. | ![Record ownership diagram: Related visits, Coverage decision, Part-identification exception](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-mep-service-closeout-exceptions-warranty-work-callbacks-missing-parts-and-customer-sign-off.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Classify the exception precisely Ask the Genie to name the missing fact or decision and the affected work line. Warranty uncertain is more actionable when it includes the original repair reference, coverage period evidence and the new technician's observation. Avoid treating a low model-confidence score as the whole explanation. 2. 02 Compare the visit sequence Place the original work, reported recurrence and return visit in order. Preserve the equipment and site identifiers so similarly named units do not get combined. The agent may identify inconsistencies, but the service supervisor decides whether the second visit relates to the first repair or a new condition. 3. 03 Resolve materials without guessing If a technician enters a nickname or partial part number, show the possible inventory matches and the available evidence. Require the inventory or field owner to confirm the item when several candidates remain. Do not use the most common part merely because its description resembles the note. 4. 04 Check what the signature covers Read the acceptance evidence in context: a sign-in record, acknowledgement of attendance and approval of completed scope can mean different things. Route missing or limited sign-off to the owner responsible for customer confirmation. Keep the contract's actual acceptance requirement attached to the case. 5. 05 Record the decision and reopen rules After review, store the classification, supporting rationale and the work lines it covers. Resume only the permitted closeout or billing step. If new evidence changes the classification, retain the earlier decision and route the financial correction through finance instead of overwriting the history. ![5-step operating sequence: Warranty, callback and sign-off exceptions in MEP closeout](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-mep-service-closeout-exceptions-warranty-work-callbacks-missing-parts-and-customer-sign-off.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Customer calls every return a callback Collect the related visit evidence and ask the service manager to determine the actual classification. ### Technician lists an unrecognized part nickname Hold the coded material line until the item owner confirms its identity. ### Signed form acknowledges arrival only Do not treat it as completion approval; request the evidence required for the billing rule. ## What to verify before expanding - A return visit is linked without automatically becoming nonbillable. - Every classification has a human decision and rationale. - Unknown parts remain unresolved rather than receiving guessed codes. - Acceptance evidence is evaluated for the scope it actually covers. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync AI agents (Genies)](https://www.stacksync.com/ai-agents#genies-job-icp-commercial-mep-contractors) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

It can gather the agreement, dates, equipment and prior work that support the decision. Eligibility and technical causation should remain with the authorized service reviewer. Should missing sign-off block all closeout work? It should block the action that requires that sign-off. Other documentation can still be assembled, while the missing acceptance is clearly assigned and tracked. What recurring exceptions deserve process changes? Repeated missing part references, ambiguous visit types and signatures that do not match billing requirements often indicate a field-form or training issue.
