Many automations fail not because the tool is bad, but because the **data is bad**. If the email marketing robot receives an empty "Name" field or a nickname, it sends "Hello, \[Empty\]." Data integrity ensures data is complete, correct, and consistent.

### **Data as Fuel**

Think of automation as a Ferrari engine. Bad data is adulterated gasoline. The engine will choke or break.

### **How Jestor ensures integrity**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **Conditional Mandatory Fields:** The system only requires Tax ID if the client type is "Company." This ensures completeness without annoying the user.
- **Type Validation:** A "Number" field doesn't accept letters. A "Date" field doesn't accept "Tomorrow."
- **Strong Relations:** You cannot register a sale for a non-existent client. The relational database prevents "orphans."

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does this add red tape?** It seems so at first, but it avoids hours of error correction later. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Who is responsible?** Everyone who enters data, but the "Process Owner" must configure the locks.

**How to audit?** Use filters to search for records with empty fields and fix them at the source.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, it is possible to automate workflows, connect departments, and create internal systems your way, all code-free and AI-supported.
