How We Built a CRM Sync That Protects 8 Human-Edited Fields From Ever Being Overwritten
our own sheet-based CRM pattern now survives automated syncs without erasing a single manually-added note.
How we did it
- Step 1Protected Field Set
8 specific human-editable fields are shielded from every automated sync.
- Step 2Placeholder Detection
Treats placeholder values as empty so a real edit is never mistaken for a blank.
- Step 3Platform-Aware Merging
Keeps leads from different source platforms from collapsing into one row.
- Step 4Proven Across Our Own Systems
The only one of five sheet-CRM implementations that solves this cleanly.
