Dumpster Fire Stories from the Pros

Keith Jones

"Endless Loop of Account Reassignments"

 

In an attempt to program a hand-off of ownership on accounts between users with a combination of process builder & distribution engine, I inadvertently created a loop where the system was assigning and reassigning records between the SDRs and BDRs over and over again.

It. Broke. Everything.

Oh and the best part. In my hubris and overconfidence that what I had built was going to work, I activated the process and fucked off to lunch. It was while I was away from my laptop when I got the text message that accounts were just looping through SDR assignments endlessly.

It was a great day.
