Read your contract. Most are worded so they commission everything in the covered category regardless of who sourced it.

Tell them regardless. Finding out later is the thing that damages a relationship, and the commission is not worth what you would lose.

Corporate and industrial is sometimes carved out. Worth checking specifically.

Telling them also makes you look like someone who generates work, which is the client every agent wants.
