​
Overview

After a Provider submits a task to the MAOTO Marketplace, a Solver may require additional information to proceed. In such cases, the Solver can initiate an Information Request. The Provider then has the option to update and repost the task with the requested details.

​
Handling Information Requests

  1. Receiving an Information Request
    • The Provider receives an Information Request from MAOTO when Solvers require additional task details.
    • The request contains all information requests from multiple Solvers, allowing the Provider to process them collectively.
    • Example scenario: If a Solver needs the user’s current location for a ride-hailing task, the Provider can request this information from the user before reposting the task.
  2. Processing the Request
    • The Provider reviews all incoming Information Requests.
    • Determines whether the requested details are necessary for successful task execution.
    • If applicable, the Provider retrieves the missing details (e.g., asking the user for input).
  3. Reposting the Task with Updated Information
    • Once the required information is available, the Provider updates and reposts the task on the MAOTO Marketplace.
    • This ensures that all Solvers receive the necessary details for accurate bidding and execution.

​
Key Benefits of the Information Request Handling

  • Ensures Solvers have complete and accurate task details before bidding.
  • Reduces redundant questions from multiple Solvers by processing all requests at once.
  • Gives the Provider control over how updated tasks are reintroduced into the marketplace.
  • Improves efficiency by streamlining the flow of information between Providers and Solvers.

​
Next Steps

  • Once a task is reposted with additional details, the Solvers can resume bidding or begin execution.
  • For details on how Solvers request information, refer to Solver Information Request.
