Code-backed validations and workflow rules
- Numeric settings are clamped to the displayed minimum and maximum ranges.
- Changes take effect immediately; connection limits are applied during preparation or repair without removing the linked session.
- Message templates are limited to 4,000 characters.
- Clear the toggle to keep closed conversations closed until staff changes them.
Expected result and verification
- The requested action completes without a permission, validation, connector or native CRM error.
- The selected account or conversation shows the expected state without changing another account’s data.
- Where the action creates evidence, confirm the message, native record, verification event, portal history or audit entry is present.
Security, privacy and troubleshooting checks
- Never expose connector tokens, loopback ports, authentication directories or raw customer verification replies.
- Use the supported Connections, Access Control, Settings and Audit Trail pages rather than editing runtime or database records directly.
- If the expected control is missing, verify both native capability and per-account permission before treating it as an installation fault.
