It looks for sample requests in commonsku with no recorded status update in the past three days and surfaces those as needing follow-up.
What happens when a sample arrives and is fulfilled?
Fulfilled sample requests are excluded from the next run and the Google Sheets log is updated to reflect the closed status.
