Dependency (workflow)
A step in a workflow that cannot execute until a prior step completes successfully. Managing dependencies prevents race conditions e.g., a CRM contact must be created before a deal is linked to it.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Dependency (workflow) is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Architecture category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
