Inactivate Email Automation:
When sending out bulk emails (or one by one, for that matter), it seems there should be an easy way for Pipedrive to know when bouncebacks come in, and to be able to update a contact's email to reflect that A: they are out of office, or B: it's undeliverable permanently, especially if they don't work there anymore. Anyone feel the same?

Haven't seen that before but interesting suggestion. I'll make our team aware of your suggestion. What do you do now? Do you update the contact manually on bouncebacks?

Awesome! Well, we deal with concert booking for the military, universities, as well as scheduling music industry webinars and workshops for school music programs. So, there's obviously a massive turnover when you're looking at military personnel changing positions, rotating to other facilities, college activities board students graduating, and school teacher rollover, or retiring. So, anytime we schedule a bulk email, or are reaching out, there's a good chance that many emails are no longer used, and my "hack" is either to update email addresses, or add a new field at the person level, and change that to "inactive", both are manual, and time-consuming. But just as we get a bunch of bounceback emails, or postmaster "Delivery has failed" emails, I'm sure pipedrive would be able to understand what those are, and qualify them as inactive, and add an activity saying "email inactive" or something.
