Outcome. When the primary internal champion at an account shows signs of having left the company, the associated account gets flagged for renewal risk and the deal owner is notified, instead of the departure going unnoticed until the renewal conversation itself.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it on contacts explicitly marked as a champion, where an email hard bounce with a departure-style reason is the practical signal HubSpot can detect natively.
  • UseUse it as an early warning, not a confirmed fact. A hard bounce suggests a departure; it does not confirm one, and this workflow's task step is there specifically to get a human to verify it.
  • SkipDo not use it as the sole way departures are tracked. Sales conversations and account notes are often the first place a departure surfaces; the flag on a checkbox depends on that being logged.
  • SkipDo not use it on contacts who are not marked as a champion. Any contact's email can hard bounce for unrelated reasons, and flagging renewal risk on every bounce would be noise.
