What should be included in a manual export playbook?

A comprehensive manual export playbook must outline the exact steps required to download, format, and upload lead data during an outage. It should begin by identifying who is responsible for executing the manual transfers and how frequently they must occur. The document must specify the exact source locations, such as website form databases or landing page platforms, where leads are stored. Detailed data mapping guidelines are essential to ensure that CSV columns align perfectly with your CRM fields. You should also include instructions on how to clean and format the data before importing it to prevent duplicates. Additionally, the playbook must outline the verification steps needed to confirm that all records were imported successfully. Finally, it should detail the process for resuming automated syncs once the primary connector is back online. Having this documented path ensures business continuity and reduces panic during critical system failures.
