What I built

A reliable lead-to-Salesforce path with bounded polling, retry, and recurring public-system QA.

Problem

  • A read-after-write race could save a completed lead but fail the immediate Salesforce sync.
  • Partial autosaves had to be distinguished from genuine completed-submit failures.
  • Public inventory, embedded widgets, and CRM handoff needed one repeatable QA view.

What I Built

  • Salesforce-powered inventory widget
  • Partial and final lead-state handling
  • Bounded read polling
  • Idempotent background retry
  • Lead administration view
  • Automated site and widget QA

Solution

  • Added bounded polling so a completed record is readable before downstream sync begins.
  • Made failure states explicit and added safe background retry around the CRM handoff.
  • Built automated public-site and widget checks that report issues without submitting test leads.

Business Impact

  • Makes the lead path more reliable at the exact point where the CRM handoff used to fail.
  • Keeps abandoned partial records from being reported as completed sales failures.
  • Gives the team a concise recurring view of inventory and lead-sync health.

Lessons

  • A record being written is not the same as it being ready for the next system.
  • Reliability checks should follow the real end-to-end path and preserve no-op safety.
