Field guide / measurement

A successful submission message is only the beginning of the check. Follow the record until sales changes its status.

## A practical sequence

- Choose a clearly labeled test enquiry and a known source. Use an approved test identity rather than a real customer’s details.

- Check creation, source fields, timestamp and assignment in CRM. Retry the journey to understand duplicate handling.

- Move the record through an agreed sales stage. Verify whether the status reaches the intended reporting destination.

- Test a failure path, such as missing required data, in a controlled environment. Assign responsibility for alerts and retry handling.

### Take this into the brief

```text
Test ID / Source / Created once / Assigned owner / Returned status / Failure handling / Evidence
```

## The decision to take away

Accept the integration only when both the forward handoff and the agreed feedback path are visible.

## Sources and review date
