Advanced multi-step enrichment and normalization via webhook and custom code

Outcome. A newly created contact gets enriched from an external data provider and has its returned fields normalized to your standard formats in the same pass, landing with a clear success or failure status, instead of enrichment and cleanup running as two disconnected steps someone has to babysit separately.

When to use it, when not to

• UseUse it when you already run several of this category's simpler patterns separately, an enrichment call, a normalization pass, a fallback task, on the same contact, and want them chained into one coordinated sequence with a single status property, rather than three independent workflows each with a partial view of the record's state.
• UseUse it once your enrichment vendor's API is stable and documented enough to call directly. This fiche assumes a webhook call to an external enrichment API rather than a native pre-built HubSpot integration, since a pre-built app usually already handles its own field writing without needing this level of orchestration.
• SkipDo not use it as your first attempt at contact enrichment. Build and test the simpler pieces separately first, a single webhook call, a single normalization workflow, so you understand each part's failure modes before chaining them. See data-quality-023 for the simpler fallback-only version and data-quality-004 or data-quality-012 for the plain normalization pattern.
• SkipDo not use it if a native, pre-built enrichment integration already covers your needs. Building and maintaining a custom webhook-plus-code chain is meaningfully more work than installing an app that already does the equivalent job and keeps up with the vendor's API changes for you.
