1. Audience Governance & Brand Guardrails
Jira stories: KLN-8 KLN-26 KLN-24
⚠️ Risk without governance |
1.1 Cold Lead Definition
A Cold Lead is a Salesforce Lead that meets ALL of the following conditions:
Criterion | Rule | SFDC Field / Check |
|---|---|---|
Not a customer | No active commercial relationship | Abscence of Lead Related contacts |
Not a partner | Excluded from all outreach | Abscence of Lead Related contacts |
No recent engagement | No meaningful touchpoint in agreed window (per GBU) | Cold_Lead_Eligible__c = TRUE |
Not hard bounced | Email address must be deliverable | overall_hard_bounced__c = FALSE |
Not unsubscribed | Opted in to email — mandatory for GDPR | HasOptedOutOfEmail = FALSE |
1.2 Eligibility Decision Tree
Apply each check in order. If any exclusion criterion is TRUE → Lead is ineligible.
Lead in SFDC → Customer / Partner? → Recent engagement? → Bounced / opted out? → ✓ Cold Lead Eligible

1.3 Campaign Setup Checklist (Eligibility Gate)
- Set Campaign.AI_Outreach__c = TRUE in Salesforce to scope the campaign correctly. All downstream reports and dashboards use this flag.
- Add Members to the campaign depending on the scope and segmentation of the campaign.
- Run the eligibility report — confirm all Campaign Members have Cold_Lead_Eligible__c = TRUE before export.
- Confirm GBU-specific exclusions — some GBUs maintain additional exclusion lists. Verify with the responsible MARCOM contact.
- Export using the approved report — use 'SFDC Campaign Member Export for Clay Import'. This report always includes CampaignMemberId and LeadId as stable mapping keys. (KLN-23)
1.4 AI Identity Guidelines
All AI outreach must clearly identify whether the sender is a real person or a virtual agent. This prevents brand risk, recipient confusion, and escalation gaps. (KLN-8)
Scenario | Rule | Owner |
|---|---|---|
Virtual AI agent as sender | Must be disclosed as AI-generated outreach. No impersonation of named employees. | MARCOM |
Real person as sender | Permitted only with explicit approval from that person's manager and GBU lead. | GBU Lead |
Escalations & replies | All positive or ambiguous replies must route to a named human owner within agreed SLA. | Sales / MARCOM |
GBU misalignment | GBUs may opt out of virtual agent identity. Confirm preference during campaign setup. | MARCOM Ops |
Tone & disclaimers | Outreach must not misrepresent the AI's role. Approved templates must be used. | MARCOM |
