Explore integration with La Guilde website

Long-range idea to integrate artcrm-supervisor with the La Guilde website. Needs brainstorming before any implementation work begins — scope, direction, and approach are all TBD.

Plan

Long-range — no code yet, needs design first. Here's what the integration could look like:

Natural integration points

A. Inquiry → CRM contact (easiest, highest value)
When a visitor submits an inquiry on La Guilde (InquiryController), automatically create or update a contact in artcrm. The platform already has an EmailService and an InquiryRepository — a webhook or direct API call to artcrm-supervisor's POST /contacts endpoint would be enough. One-way, no UI changes.

B. New artist onboarding → CRM outreach
When a new artist registers on La Guilde, artcrm could pick them up as a contact and start a warm-outreach sequence (welcome email, follow-up for first publish, etc.).

C. Supervisor-triggered gallery actions
The supervisor could call the art-platform API to republish a gallery, update an artist's profile, or add a tag — all the things that currently require manual admin access.

Prerequisite

artcrm-supervisor exposes a FastAPI at crm.christopherrehm.de. The art-platform is at euroart.christopherrehm.de. Both are on the same VPS. They can talk to each other via internal Docker network or localhost once the integration endpoint is designed.

Recommendation

Start with A — inquiry→contact sync. It's one endpoint, zero UI, and delivers real value immediately. Define the contact schema mapping (buyer name, email, painting interested in → contact record), then implement.

Questions

• Which direction matters most: platform pushing to CRM, or CRM acting on platform data?
• Should each artist's CRM be separate, or is this a single admin-level CRM for the whole platform?

Not ready to implement. Suggest starting with option A when you want to proceed.
