What it does

This workflow converts a bounce into actionable work in your project tool. When a deal contact's email bounces, it pulls the deal and the other known contacts from HubSpot, then creates an Asana task in the rep's re-engagement project pre-filled with the deal link, the bounced contact, suggested alternate contacts to approach, and a tight due date so the backfill doesn't slip.

When to use it

Use it when your team manages sales follow-up as tasks in Asana rather than living in the CRM, and you want champion-risk work to land in the same place as everything else they do, with full context attached.

How it works

  1. 1A Gmail bounce on a deal contact triggers the flow.
  2. 2A filter confirms the bounce is permanent and tied to an open deal.
  3. 3HubSpot returns the deal, owner, and alternate company contacts.
  4. 4An Asana task is created in the owner's re-engagement project with context and a due date.
  5. 5Slack notifies the assignee that a backfill task is waiting.
