OpenAI : Generating personalized follow-up content

Watch out for

Salesforce API limits can block bulk updates, so implement batch processing with delays between chunks of records.
LLM hallucinations may invent non-existent deal details, so add a validation step to cross-check generated content against original query results.
Email delivery failures due to spam filters can hurt reputation, so ensure the SMTP sender domain has proper SPF and DKIM records configured.
Stale thresholds might exclude recently active but stalled deals, so review the SOQL date logic weekly to adjust for changing sales cycles.
