Title: Broken Welcome Sequence (deliberately broken sample)
## Automation: welcome-email-blast
- Name: welcome-email-blast
- Trigger: new contact created
- Entry conditions: contact has an email
- Action steps:
1. Email the contact a welcome message right away
2. Add them to the general newsletter
- Owner: outreach-operator
<!--
Deliberately broken checks (for the anti-theater gate):
1. Missing "Exit condition" entirely — an automation with no exit can loop or
double-fire forever. This is the single most common real-world CRM disaster
named in MANUAL.md §8.1.
2. Missing "Failure path" — no statement of what happens if the send step errors.
3. Missing "Idempotency" — nothing states what prevents this from re-firing and
double-emailing the same contact.
4. Missing "Kill switch" — no way to shut it off.
5. Action step 1 emails the contact but references no Template ID — fails the
"any step that emails a contact without referencing a compliance-checked
template ID" rule.
