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. 1

    Read the return date and backup contact

    AIMEE classifies, extracts or writes using your instruction.

  2. 2

    Out of office?

    If yes, it goes on to "Pause the sequence". If no, it stops for that person.

  3. 3

    Pause the sequence

    Stops the sequence so no one is contacted twice.

  4. 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. 5

    Task: reach the backup contact

    Creates a follow-up task for the right person.

  6. 6

    Wait until they are back

    Waits for the time you set before the next step.

  7. 7

    Re-enroll on their first day back after you approve Waits for your OK

    Adds eligible contacts to your Outreach campaign, after your approval when it is required.
