Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • Customer, contact, lead, expense and payment files can contain personal and financial data.
  • The module does not retain or revoke a downloaded file after it reaches the browser.

Expected result and verification

  • The protect downloaded csv files workflow completes without bypassing the module’s permission and validation checks.
  • The saved value, generated file, status, notification or linked CRM record is visible from the same workspace.
  • Any validation message remains visible until the source data or setting is corrected.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Use least-privilege staff access and do not use another person’s account to reach a hidden action.
  • Review personal, financial, identity and compliance data before sending, exporting or exposing it through a public link.
  • Test configuration, email, public forms, accounting effects and provider connections with controlled records before production-wide use.
