The NDA blackout is so real. We had the exact same issue trying to budget for a project last year. It forces you into this weird position of negotiati...

Great point on the objectType filter, it's a lifesaver. Just a heads up though, I've noticed that some custom properties might not show up immediately...

I hear you, the lack of a phone number does feel wrong at first. I was in your shoes a couple years back. Here's my experience: we got hit with a mas...
