CRM review
and maintenance

Weekly CRM maintenance combines a data quality agent with a dedicated private review website. The agent researches and updates records; the dashboard presents findings, evidence and review controls so people can resolve outstanding cases.

01 / WEEKLY INTAKE

Records needing
attention

STEP 1

Identify records needing attention

On an agreed schedule, it reviews new active contacts and accounts, unresolved cases, active contacts without accounts, and new or changed records for duplicates.

02 / RESEARCH & UPDATES

Evidence determines
the next action

STEP 2

Research missing information

Company websites, existing CRM information and credible public sources support missing details. Agreed categories govern job roles and industry classifications; tags and creation history help establish acquisition sources.

STEP 3

Complete supported fields

The agent fills supported gaps and verifies each saved update. Unsupported details remain open, while conflicting populated values go to review. Existing workflow behaviour and qualification statuses are respected.

The right record.

STEP 4

Connect people to the right account

It matches new contacts to existing accounts before considering creation, which requires verified identity and supported mandatory information. Older unlinked contacts connect only to unambiguous existing accounts, using verified business email domains.

Create only with verified identity and supported mandatory details

STEP 5

Find and resolve duplicates

Duplicate candidates are compared with existing CRM records. Unambiguous matches can be merged in the CRM after checking field values, related records and consent safeguards. Conflicting or uncertain matches require human review.

REVIEW DETAILS

Proposed corrections include record details, evidence, ownership and creation history.

Reviewers manage corrections, save drafts and record decisions.

SAVED CHOICES

Saved choices retain the preferred master record and decisions to hold cases or keep records separate.

Confirmed field updates and contact merges made through the website automatically update the corresponding CRM records, without entering the same changes again in the CRM.

Duplicate contact comparisons highlight differences side by side, with links to CRM records and company websites.

05 / REVIEW & REPORTING

Review, apply and
carry the work forward

STEP 6

Review and apply changes in the dashboard

The dashboard presents unresolved cases with a clear question and evidence. Approved updates and contact merges write back to the CRM. Unsupported cases remain in the run result.

STEP 7

Report results and continue the work

The automation is configured to email confirmed activity, unresolved work and errors after each execution, with a dashboard link. Checkpoints and saved decisions support continuity between runs.
