How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • LogicStop if no single-threaded deals affected
  • ActionDraft backfill stakeholder planOpenAI
  • ActionLog follow-up task on each opportunitySalesforce
  • OutputPage owning reps in SlackSlack

What it does

The worst single-thread failure is sudden: your one contact changes jobs and the deal has no fallback. This workflow reacts to a contact-departure signal, identifies which open deals were riding on that person alone, and triggers immediate recovery so the deal doesn't silently die.

When to use it

Use it when you feed contact-change signals (from a data enrichment provider, HRIS webhook, or email-bounce detector) into Hive and need same-day failover on affected deals. Highest value for teams with long sales cycles where a lost champion is expensive.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook delivers a departed-contact event with the contact's identifier.
  2. 2The workflow looks up that contact in Salesforce and finds every open opportunity where they are the sole engaged contact.
  3. 3A logic step exits quietly if no single-threaded deals are affected.
  4. 4For each affected deal, an OpenAI step drafts a backfill plan naming likely alternate stakeholders to approach.
  5. 5The workflow logs a follow-up task on each opportunity in Salesforce.
  6. 6It pages the owning reps in Slack with the deal, the lost contact, and the backfill plan.
