|---|

LogicHas Replied — formula:IF(NOT(ISNULL(FirstRespondedDate)), TRUE, FALSE) Set-once behaviour: Once FirstRespondedDate is populated, clay_has_replied__c becomes TRUE permanently Do not attempt to clear FirstRespondedDate to reset this field — that corrupts response history Reply Classification — write logicClay classifies each inbound reply in Smartlead and writes the value back via the connector. If a reply is misclassified, MARCOM Ops can correct it manually in Clay and it will sync on the next connector run. The Unsubscribe classification value must trigger a downstream unsubscribe process. CRM Admin must ensure an automation or flow is in place to handle this value when it is written back. |
