Security & Authentication Notice

Use restricted API keys with read-only reporting access. Do not expose customer contact details in high-level team activity digests.

Pre-Activation Staging Checklist

  • Confirm timezone settings align with team working hours.
  • Check that API aggregation handles empty or inactive sales rep profiles gracefully.
  • Verify messaging node formatting renders tables or lists cleanly.

Mistakes to avoid

  • - Using the digest to publicly shame underperforming reps rather than celebrating team wins.
  • - Overloading the digest with minor administrative status updates.
  • - Failing to update API tokens when CRM administrative passwords expire.
