  • ✔️ Highlights Missing or Incorrect Data – Ensures key fields (like email addresses or account names) are correctly formatted.

  • ✔️ Prevents Duplicate Entries – Stops you from creating multiple records for the same customer.

  • ✔️ Alerts You to Potential Errors – So you can fix them before they hit Salesforce.
