Workflow logic summary
- Outbound pool: Defines eligible contacts (email known, outbound eligible, not customer) as the base audience for every outbound segment.
- Segmentation: Creates persona and institution type segments (community bank vs credit union) for targeted outreach.
- Suppression: A master “Do Not Contact” rule excludes customers to prevent outreach and protect reporting accuracy.
- Execution loop: Outbound status and last outbound touch fields feed follow up and KPI views (attempted, connected, meeting set).
