Diagnose a misfiring CRM automation root cause

Walk a misbehaving CRM workflow back to its actual cause instead of stacking another patch on top.

About this prompt

This prompt helps RevOps and sales ops debug a CRM automation that fires when it shouldn't, fails to fire, or updates the wrong records. It works like a debugger: isolate the cause before fixing it. Use it when a workflow is misbehaving and you're tempted to patch the symptom instead of finding the real problem.When a CRM workflow misfires intermittently or quietly updates the wrong field, the instinct is to slap on another condition and move on — which usually masks the cause and creates the next bug. This prompt walks the logic with you like a debugger, ranking the most probable causes from the symptom and forcing an isolation test before any fix. You provide the INTENDED BEHAVIOR, THE WRONG BEHAVIOR you're seeing, HOW IT'S SET UP as best you know, when it goes wrong (ALWAYS / CERTAIN RECORDS / IN BULK / INTERMITTENTLY), and what OTHER AUTOMATIONS, INTEGRATIONS, MANUAL EDITS touch those records. It returns a ranked likely cause, a specific check to confirm or rule it out, a dedicated conflict check for multi-automation fights, the real fix, a regression check, and a prevention step. Be precise on the when-it-goes-wrong field — 'intermittently' versus 'in bulk' is often what separates a recursion loop from an order-of-operations problem. The more accurately you describe the trigger and conditions as actually built, the faster it finds the culprit rather than guessing.
