troubleshooting: Zapier missing webhook triggers during peak traffic
We're losing occasional webhook triggers under heavy form submission bursts and missing leads. Need diagnostic steps, backoff/retry strategies, and logging approaches to prevent data loss.

Quick checklist:
- Check Zapier task history for webhook timeouts/errors; enable app retries.
- Return 200 immediately from your form endpoint and enqueue payload to a durable queue (SQS/Redis/DB).
- Retry with exponential backoff + jitter (e.g., 1s, 2s, 4s) and a dead-letter queue.
- Add idempotency keys to dedupe.
- Persist every payload and retry metadata for auditing; alert on spike in missing-rate.
