Can you update SFDC based on Hard Bounces from Email Outreach?

Is there a way to write a rule to update SFDC when we have hard bounces from an email campaign?  We have a field in SFDC on the contact object that indicates if a contact is Active/Inactive.  Ideally, we'd want to flip that to Inactive for any hard bounces.

I know we can export a report and import to SFDC, but I'd rather have this automated (especially when we use Copilot a lot).

You could write a rule that would parse the Email Logs for any hard bounces and then Load to SFDC to set the Contact::Active field (or whatever you call it in your environment).

Nicole -- here's the rule I use.



And then the action is "update SFDC object" and we have a checkbox called "bounceback" that we set to true.

For this case we send the outreach at like 8 a.m. and then I run this rule around noon.
