Idempotency means repeating an operation has the same intended effect as performing it once.

## Why it matters

Make retries safer in workflows that create records or actions.

## Illustrative example

A retry-safe workflow avoids creating a duplicate task after a repeated message.

## What to check

Do not assume an operation is idempotent unless its contract or your implementation guarantees it.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
