Practical blueprint:
- Triggers: HubSpot “Contact created/updated” plus a webhook for form submissions.
- Sequence: 1) dedupe and write a unique job_id to HubSpot; 2) call ChatGPT to generate a one‑page setup doc using a strict prompt + contact fields; 3) save doc (Drive/S3) and send a tailored onboarding email via Zapier.
- Rate limits: batch with Zapier Delay/Storage, use exponential backoff (1m→5m→30m) and per-minute throttling.
- Error recovery: log failures to a Sheet, notify Slack, create HubSpot task, and move bad jobs to a dead‑letter queue.
