bouncer.bot
Overview
This is the opportunity rejection counterpart to deal.bot. It relies on
explicit company domain being provided. If either company domain or founder is
not yet registered, they get created. Existing opportunities with a company are
checked to avoid clutter. If no active opportunity exists, one is first created
so it can then be bounced or rejected. A reply email also gets drafted in the
sender’s mailbox, in the conversation thread, to send back to the founder, VC,
or M&A advisor.

Troubleshooting
The only recent failure has been due to n8n itself failing after an update. Otherwise there have been no silent failures, and the email reply handling is sufficiently explicit that users can usually navigate Affinity and their mailboxes themselves.
