Outreach ↔ Salesforce sync drift on stage transitions

Outreach's Salesforce sync polls every 4 hours, not real-time. When a rep moves a deal stage in Salesforce, Outreach can keep enrolling the prospect into a sequence for up to 4 hours. Here's how to detect + force-resync.

The problem

What's actually broken

The Outreach API's /sync endpoint accepts a tenant id but has a hard rate limit of 1 sync per minute. If your CS team makes 100+ stage changes in a day, the sync queue backs up. Prospects in Closed-Won deals receive cold-outreach emails for hours. The fix is a webhook from Salesforce → Outreach that bypasses the polling delay.
