# Positive outbound reply

> Runs when a lead replies positively to an outbound sequence.

**Event id:** `outbound.reply_positive`

Fires when Doris classifies a reply to an outbound sequence as positive, so the handover from prospecting to selling can happen without anyone watching an inbox.

## When it fires

When a reply lands on an outbound sequence and Doris reads it as interested. Neutral, negative, and out-of-office replies do not fire it.

## What the flow receives

* **Lead** — The person who replied
* **Email** — Their email address
* **Company** — The company name captured on the lead
* **Campaign** — The outbound campaign the reply came from

## Good uses

* Create the CRM contact and deal for a lead that just raised its hand
* Notify the owning rep straight away, with the reply and the campaign it came from
* Research the account and hand the rep a short brief before they respond
* Route the lead to the right rep based on territory or segment

## Things to know

* This needs an outbound sequencing tool connected. Without one, nothing produces the event.
* Doris never replies to the lead. This trigger prepares a person to reply, and the flow ends there.
* Reply classification is a judgement. Expect the occasional reply that reads as positive to a machine and lukewarm to a human. Keep the flow's output to something a person confirms rather than something that acts on the buyer's behalf.
* Add a **Continue if** on campaign to run different flows for different sequences.

<Tip>Speed is the whole point of this trigger. The flow's job is to shorten the gap between a lead saying yes and a human replying, not to close that gap with a machine.</Tip>
