Write a precise CRM automation build spec

Spec a CRM automation with tight triggers, entry conditions, edge cases, a test plan, and a rollback.

About this prompt

This prompt helps RevOps write a precise spec for a CRM automation before it's built. It defines the trigger, the entry conditions, the step-by-step actions, the edge cases, a test plan, and a rollback. Use it before building any routing, stage-gating, or field-sync automation so you don't create silent data chaos.Half-specced automations create silent chaos: wrong records updated, things firing when they shouldn't, recursion loops that re-trigger themselves. This prompt forces a precise spec first: exactly what event fires it and when, the entry conditions that must all be true so it only hits the right records, the step-by-step actions in order, the edge cases that break automations (missing data, conflicts with other automations, bulk operations, partial matches), the explicit 'do nothing' cases, a test plan covering happy path and each edge case, and a safe rollback. Describe the goal (WHAT THE AUTOMATION SHOULD ACCOMPLISH, like route leads or update a stage), THE TRIGGER roughly, THE INTENDED ACTION, the objects and fields it touches, and who or what it affects. Use this at the design stage to hand to whoever builds it, not for reporting or data-standard work. Most automation bugs come from loose entry conditions, so spell those out as tightly as possible rather than leaving them broad.
