What it does

When a key contact leaves a target account, deals stall because nobody noticed. This template watches for the two earliest signals of a departure: a hard bounce and an auto-reply that names a successor. It flags the contact as departed, captures any named replacement, and kicks off the work to remap the buying committee.

When to use it

Use this on accounts where a single champion carries the relationship. The moment that person leaves, you want their record updated and a replacement-mapping task in your owner's queue, not a surprise three weeks later.

How it works

  1. 1A new email arrives in Gmail and fires the trigger (a bounce notice or auto-reply).
  2. 2An OpenAI step classifies the message as a hard bounce, a departure auto-reply, or neither, and extracts any successor name and email.
  3. 3A logic branch drops messages that are not departure signals.
  4. 4The contact is marked "Departed" in Attio with the detected reason.
  5. 5If a successor was named, a new contact stub is created in Attio and linked to the same account.
  6. 6A Linear issue is opened to remap the buying committee for that account.
