What it does

Flags the specific moment a buyer escalates from 'interested' to 'let's get our lawyers involved.' When an Outlook reply mentions legal, procurement, redlines, or an MSA, it spins up a structured deal-desk handoff so contracts review starts the same day.

When to use it

Use it on enterprise deals where the legal-review phase is the bottleneck. Instead of a rep forwarding an email and hoping deal desk notices, this creates an owned task with the deal value, prospect, and the exact ask the moment legal enters the conversation.

How it works

  1. 1A reply lands in the monitored Outlook inbox and triggers the run.
  2. 2A logic step checks the body for legal-escalation phrases ('loop in legal', 'send to procurement', 'review the MSA', 'our counsel needs').
  3. 3Non-matching emails exit; matches pull the linked HubSpot deal to grab amount and account name.
  4. 4An Asana task is created in the Deal Desk project with the prospect, deal size, and quoted ask.
  5. 5A Slack post to the contracts channel links the Asana task and Outlook thread so review kicks off immediately.
