Update CRM records from reviewed web research
Apply a source-backed field diff to a stable CRM record with conflict and retry checks.
Before the first run
- A source-linked research packet and stable CRM record ID
- An approved field mapping and write scope
- A reviewer and a read-back path
Define what the agent can do.
Approved CRM field updates only. No outreach, account merge, owner reassignment, deletion, or scoring decision is implied.
The implementation sequence
- 01
Check the evidence
Confirm that each proposed fact has a source and observation date. Retain unknown where the evidence is absent and distinguish company-level facts from subsidiary-level facts.
- 02
Read the current CRM state
Resolve the record by its stable identifier and capture current values. Do not choose a similarly named account or overwrite a field without seeing its existing value.
- 03
Prepare a minimal diff
Include only approved fields that need changing. Show source values, existing values, proposed values, and any conflict with a more recent manual edit.
- 04
Approve and write
Use the CRM’s supported API or import where possible. If browser entry is required, bind approval to the exact record and diff before the consequential write.
- 05
Read back and checkpoint
Confirm the saved fields and record identifier. If the response is lost, inspect current state before retrying so uncertain completion does not become a duplicate action.
Stop for human approval
Review the exact field diff and any conflict with recent edits. Changed research or target identity invalidates the earlier approval.
