A CRM sales task is overdue for a contact

A CRM sales task is overdue for a contact starts a workflow the moment a sales task on a contact passes its due date without being marked complete. Use this trigger to escalate missed tasks, alert managers, or create follow-up tasks automatically so nothing falls through the cracks.

This trigger is time-sensitive — it fires as soon as the task's due date passes and the task is still open.

Trigger scope

This trigger operates at the contact scope. Contact, company, and account actions are available downstream.

How it works​

  1. A sales task on a contact reaches its due date without being completed.
  2. The automation evaluates any trigger conditions you've configured (for example, filtering on task name or assignee).
  3. If all conditions are met, the workflow starts with the contact, their associated company, and the account in context.
  4. Downstream steps can use Add dynamic content to reference the overdue task details, contact fields, and company fields.

Available data​

All standard contact, company, and account fields are available downstream via Add dynamic content. This includes fields such as contact name, email, phone, assigned salesperson, company name, and account tags.

info

Sales task fields (such as task name, due date, and assignee) are available as dynamic data in steps that follow this trigger, so you can include task details in escalation notifications or replacement tasks.
