Status
This is an illustrative design, not a tested template. We have not executed it end to end. Build it in a test workspace with sample data and run the checks below before using real customer data.
Flow
Trigger: a new lead record in the CRM or a lead row in a sheet
Pick an owner by a written rule: territory, service type or simple rotation
Set the owner on the record
Create a follow-up task with a due date in business hours
Notify the owner in Slack or email with a link to the record
Escalate if the task is still open after an agreed time
Checks before going live
Every test lead gets exactly one owner
An owner on leave is skipped by the rule
A lead that arrives at night gets a due date the next working day
Re-running the same lead does not create a second task
Limitations
Rotation stored in a spreadsheet can skip or repeat under concurrent runs. Many CRMs have native owner rotation inside their workflows; prefer it when your plan includes it.
