Best Practices

1. Use Filters Wisely

Don't trigger on every event:

Filter: Only continue if:
- Deal Amount > $5,000 AND
- Deal Stage = "Closed Won" AND  
- Contract Template exists

2. Add Delays for User Experience

Don't send everything instantly:

• Wait 5 minutes after deal won (let rep call first)
• Delay NDAs by 24 hours before meeting
• Space out onboarding emails by days

3. Include Error Handling

Plan for failures:

• Send Slack alert if signature not received in 48h
• Email admin if Zap fails
• Create fallback tasks in project management

4. Test with Real Data

Don't just test with sample data:

• Run test with actual deal
• Verify all fields map correctly
• Check signature request formatting
• Confirm document templates work

5. Monitor Zap Performance

Check Zapier dashboard weekly:

• Review success/failure rates
• Identify bottlenecks
• Optimize slow steps
• Prune unused Zaps
