Watch out for

PredictLeads API rate limits may throttle your requests, so add exponential backoff logic to handle HTTP 429 errors gracefully.
Google Sheets row indexing can drift if rows are manually deleted or inserted, so use unique company IDs as keys instead of relying on static row numbers.
HubSpot property update failures might occur due to field type mismatches, so validate that the alert text fits within the character limit of the custom text field.
Slack message formatting can break if special characters are present in job titles, so sanitize input strings before constructing the webhook payload.
