Pause and resume around out-of-office replies

The workflow diagram
What this workflow does
AI reads out-of-office replies for the return date and any backup contact. The sequence pauses, the owner gets a task if a backup was named, and the person is re-enrolled the day they are back once you approve.
Why it works. Emails that land while someone is away are deleted in bulk; the same email on their first day back gets read.
Re-enrollment waits for your approval.
How it works
It starts: When a contact replies.
- 1
Read the return date and backup contact
AIMEE classifies, extracts or writes using your instruction.
- 2
Out of office?
If yes, it goes on to "Pause the sequence". If no, it stops for that person.
- 3
Pause the sequence
Stops the sequence so no one is contacted twice.
- 4
Named a backup contact?
If yes, it goes on to "Task: reach the backup contact". If no, it goes on to "Wait until they are back".
- 5
Task: reach the backup contact
Creates a follow-up task for the right person.
- 6
Wait until they are back
Waits for the time you set before the next step.
- 7
Re-enroll on their first day back after you approve Waits for your OK
