First build: Sheet-to-CRM or brief-to-task?

Purpose
They want a specific first integration sequence to stop manual lead leakage between Google Sheets and CRM, not a full process map.

Client leads sit in a sheet and never make it into the CRM. I tried a weekly import. It died by Wednesday. We run creator campaigns, so every lead has three or four people on it and follow-up is never owned. Our case studies go out late, which is why the content doesn't convert. Picked Make. First move this week: Sheet-to-CRM or campaign brief-to-task? Don't map the whole process. Just the first build.

    CRM first. Leads are the only input that compounds.

    You already spotted that mapping everything is the trap. Start with brief-to-task, not the CRM. The lead only matters once the campaign is running. Fix delivery first and the renewal conversation becomes easy.

    I’m with Tim on this one. Fix the Sheet-to-CRM sync first; everything else is downstream. Watching to see what you pick.
