# Check a status

> Ask where something is up to, from a job to a claim or a proposal, and get the answer from Salesforce in seconds. Nothing is written.

Answers in seconds, not a call back. Ask Parker where something is up to, the way you'd ask a colleague who has Salesforce open. Parker reads the record as you and answers in the chat. Checking a status never changes anything.

## Before you begin

* [Get the Parker app](https://support.parker.work/mobile/parker-app.md#get-the-app).
* Your own Salesforce login is connected. Parker can only see what you can.

## Ask

Just message Parker. By text, voice note, or a photo with a line of text:

| You want to know | Ask something like |
| - | - |
| Where a job is up to | "Where's the kitchen leak repair at 14 Mill Lane?" |
| What's due | "Which gas safety checks are due in the next 30 days with no appointment?" |
| An asset's history | Send a photo of the machine: "What do we know about this one?" |
| Cover or warranty | "Is the boiler at Hillside Depot still under warranty? Last three visits?" |
| Who has something nearby | "Who's got a 3-port diverter valve on their van near Parramatta?" |
| A case, claim, or proposal | "Any news on the Kestrel Packaging proposal?" |
| Before a visit | "What do I need to know before the 2 o'clock at Mrs Hale's?" |
| Whether an account is on stop | "Recent orders for The Crown, and are they on stop?" |

Ask a follow-up in the same chat, such as "and the one before that?"

![Parker answers that the Northside espresso machine is under warranty until 14 March 2027, lists two linked cases, and says Priya Shah replaced the element on 2 October.](https://mintcdn.com/fieldko/0NheQi8f6GIQ78vb/images/phone/morning-brief-and-questions.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0NheQi8f6GIQ78vb\&q=85\&s=02e3eb7bc5ab06e90c722d0a53503ae9)

Parker answers from live Salesforce data.

> [!TIP]
>
> Parker's answers can vary from one run to the next, even when the data hasn't changed, because it's an AI assistant. Check important figures against the source before acting on them, and use the sources Parker shows to see where an answer came from.

## What Parker reads, and what it writes

| | |
| - | - |
| **Parker reads** | The records your Salesforce login can see, live, each time you ask |
| **Parker writes** | Nothing. A question never changes Salesforce. |

If your message also asks for a change, such as "Where's the valve job? Mark it started," Parker answers the question, then shows the change as a card for you to confirm. See [Confirm, edit, and correct](https://support.parker.work/mobile/confirm-and-correct.md).

## Can I see records I don't own?

Only if you can in Salesforce. Parker runs as you, so your sharing rules, profile, and field-level security decide what it can read. Two people can ask the same question and get different answers. If something is missing, check whether you can open it in Salesforce.

## When Parker can't find it

Parker says so rather than guessing. Try the record's number or exact name, or ask your Salesforce admin about your access.

## Tables, charts, and files

A list arrives as a table picture. Reply **CSV** to get its data as a file. Ask for a chart and it arrives as a picture. For the records behind an answer, open the same chat in the web app and use the source markers. See [Ask about your Salesforce data](https://support.parker.work/chat/salesforce-questions.md).

## Still need help?

Check [Troubleshooting](https://support.parker.work/reference/troubleshooting.md) for the exact message you see. If a setting is admin-only, ask your Parker admin. For anything else, [contact support](https://support.parker.work/reference/contact-support.md).
