How do I keep customer contact names consistent across two CRMs?

Our answer

Set a single system of record for each contact field, normalise names/phone numbers and sync by stable record ID rather than name alone.

Why this approach makes sense

An organised workflow should preserve access control, recordkeeping and a clear handover to the right person.

Before you try it

Confirm who can view or edit shared information before sending a link or changing a business account.
