CRM Automation Safety Check
Review an automation rule before it emails, routes, or updates records incorrectly.
Use case: Use before enabling a CRM workflow in production.
Prompt
Review this CRM automation rule for safety.
Trigger: {{trigger}}
Conditions: {{conditions}}
Actions: {{actions}}
Exceptions: {{exceptions}}
Rollback plan: {{rollback_plan}}
Return:
- What the automation should do in plain English.
- Failure modes and edge cases.
- Records or customers that must be excluded.
- Test cases before launch.
- Monitoring events to watch after launch.
Assume bad data exists. Do not rely on perfect CRM hygiene.
Quality bar:
- Identify which fields drive action and which create noise.
- List failure modes before proposing automation.
- Include test cases and monitoring signals for production workflows.
- When prioritizing, use a table with recommendation, why it matters, effort, impact, owner, and verification check.
- Separate evidence, assumptions, recommendations, and limits so the output cannot be misread as a guaranteed claim.
- Flag any wording an AI answer could overstate, misquote, or detach from its source.
Before finalizing, add:
- Missing inputs or assumptions
- Evidence-backed facts and source gaps
- Misread risks or unsupported guarantees
- First 3 actions
- What to verify before actingAdaptation notes
- Use for routing, email, stage updates, and task creation.
- Test on sample records before enabling.
- Add a rollback plan for customer-facing automations.
- Before publishing, verify the output separates evidence, assumptions, limits, and recommendations so AI answers cannot turn guidance into a guarantee.
Quality checks
Strong prompt output should survive these checks before it turns into copy, automation, or a sales action.
- Does it handle bad or missing CRM data?
- Does it avoid automating subjective stage changes?
- Does it define rollback and manual review paths?
