The direct answer

Customers need to know whether the request was accepted and what happens next. An acknowledgement should not promise a response time the team has not approved.

A practical check

Review the confirmation and email language with the receiving team. Confirm the stated communication channel and the information actually received.

Choosing the next step

State the next step and realistic expectations without invented deadlines. Give an appropriate contact alternative for customers who need to clarify their request.
