AUTOMATION / LEAD RESPONSE WORKFLOW
Catch the lead
before it goes cold.
Missed Lead Recovery is a standalone fictional automation demonstration showing how a paid lead can be monitored, reminded, escalated, recovered, or marked stale—without touching any production system.
Run the safe demoTHE BUSINESS PROBLEM
A generated lead is only valuable if someone responds.
Businesses can pay for search ads, directories, and referral platforms, then lose the opportunity when an alert sits in an inbox. The automation watches response state—not just elapsed time—and gives the team an increasingly visible path to recover the lead.

RESULT
Recovered after escalation
Response time: 2h 13m
Configurable thresholds
Reminder, escalation, and stale windows are editable while guarded ordering keeps the workflow coherent.
Attempt history
Simulated email and SMS attempts expose success, failure, retry count, audience, and action identity.
Visible transitions
Every scheduled action, state check, cancellation, and outcome remains available in an ordered event history.
Four deterministic paths
Normal, reminder-recovered, escalated, and stale scenarios can be replayed instantly without waiting hours.
ENGINEERING
Credible without unnecessary infrastructure.
A small, pure workflow engine models time and state directly. The public interface renders its output and never calls the production lead repository.
- Typed workflow definitions and explicit state transitions
- Deterministic scheduling from configurable response thresholds
- Idempotency keys prevent duplicate actions during retries
- Cancellation occurs immediately when a lead is contacted
- Event and notification-attempt histories remain auditable
- Automated tests cover normal, recovered, escalated, and stale paths
