Finance Automation #4297: E-commerce Fulfillment with Mailchimp + Salesforce + Redis

Problem

e-commerce fulfillment between Mailchimp, Salesforce, Redis is error-prone when finance teams reconcile billing, invoices, or ledger entries by hand.

Automating validations before writes to Salesforce lowers reconciliation risk.
