The Challenge
Leads were being exported manually and emailed by hand. Editors had no control. Sponsors had no visibility. The LMS had strict auth limits and brittle APIs — making automation a minefield. Campaigns were slow, error-prone, and devs were stuck hand-delivering spreadsheets.
My Role
I built a clean CMS-to-LMS integration that automated lead delivery, gave editors control, and made sponsor operations fast, accurate, and repeatable.
Solutions Delivered
- Built a custom WordPress-to-LMS integration that mapped lead data to sponsor rules
- Delivered an editor-first tagging workflow so non-devs could control routing
- Deployed a real-time automation pipeline for instant lead delivery — no manual steps
- Added a secure token refresh layer to bypass LMS API fragility
- Created environment-aware credential handling to protect staging/deployment
- Included monitoring + rollback tooling to keep ops resilient and hands-off
Business Outcomes
- Cut lead delivery time to near-zero, increasing sponsor trust
- Freed up editorial and dev teams from daily manual workflows
- Improved data accuracy and handoff transparency
- Boosted sponsor retention with smoother campaigns
- Set the stage for deeper, scalable automation
