💡 Universal Best Practices

Start Simple, Scale Smart: Begin with basic flows and add complexity as needed.

Measure Everything: You can't optimize what you don't measure.

Document Decisions: Future you will thank current you for clear documentation.

Test Before Scaling: Validate patterns with small volumes before going big.

Automate Repetitive Tasks: If you do it twice, consider automating it.

🎯 Implementation Principles

The 80/20 Rule

80% of your leads will follow standard patterns
20% will need special handling
Design for the 80%, accommodate the 20%

Fail Fast, Recover Faster

Reject bad leads early in the flow
Have clear error messages
Build in retry logic for transient failures

Trust but Verify

Trust your vendors but validate their data
Trust your systems but monitor performance
Trust your rules but review outcomes

Flow Management - Core flow configuration
Troubleshooting - When things go wrong
Analytics - Measuring success
