CONTACT DATA · Workflow idea
For a team maintaining a permissioned contact list, review new records for required fields, duplicate matches, and invalid or disposable addresses before proposing an import. A valid address does not establish permission to market, and a synced contact can be exposed to an unintended campaign. Document the lawful contact basis, honor opt-outs and suppression records, minimize personal fields, and require a list owner to approve campaign eligibility before activation.
01 / The starting point
A contact table with documented permission status, a defined list purpose, and authorized access
“Prepare a validated contact import that preserves consent, suppression, and duplicate checks.”
02 / The work
Checks new contact records for required fields and address quality, then prepares an update to a designated contact list.
Use only records and sources authorized for the stated customer or sales task.
Check identifiers against the source and avoid creating or changing the wrong person or company.
Check material facts and explain uncertainty before routing or updating a record.
Minimize personal information, honor opt-outs, and restrict access to the appropriate team.
Require a responsible person to approve consequential CRM edits and each external contact.
03 / The result
A reviewed import list with field-validation, duplicate, and contact-preference status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A reviewed import list with field-validation, duplicate, and contact-preference status.
Address validation does not establish consent or lawful marketing eligibility. Confirm source and permission, exclude suppressed or opted-out contacts, and have a person approve any campaign audience before use.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Set clear criteria, lawful contact rules, and a process for corrections or removal requests.
Validate record identifiers and duplicate handling before any update or creation.
Keep only needed fields and grant access to authorized staff.
Require human approval before contact, qualification decisions, or consequential record changes.
