Native Deduplication Logic in CRM + Automation Integrations

CRM platforms and workflow automation tools lack robust, out-of-the-box deduplication checks when records are created programmatically via AI pipelines. Users must manually design lookup-before-create logic, which is error-prone and not standardized.
