Implementation of the Week
- CRM custom function leveraging SmartyStreet.com’s API for address validation
- Addresses can be sent as a single field, or individual fields for street, city, state, etc.
- CRM automation using Deluge uses a webhook to hit SmartyStreet’s endpoint with the address of a given record.
- SmartyStreet will validate that the address is valid, and if the address was sent in one block of text, it will parse the address into individual fields.
