Best Zapier workflow for lead enrichment and CRM sync
I'm running a small marketing team and need a reliable Zapier flow to enrich leads and sync them to our CRM without creating duplicates. Looking for recommended actions, rate-limit handling, and error-retry patterns for production use.

Flow: Trigger (New lead) → Normalize email/phone → CRM “Find” (use email) → If found: Update; else: call enrichment (Webhooks or Clearbit) → Create with external_id. Use CRM “Find or Create” when available to prevent duplicates. Rate-limit: batch via Delay or queue failed calls in Storage then scheduled retries. Retry pattern: exponential backoff (Delay 1m, 5m, 30m), max 3 attempts, and log failures to Slack/Sheets for manual review.
