Known behaviors

Situation

What happens

Recipient has one alternate email on file

Recruiterflow retries the step against that address automatically.

Recipient has multiple alternate emails on file

Recruiterflow works through them in order until one delivers or all have bounced.

Recipient has no alternate email on file

The recipient moves straight to Bounced status

All email addresses on profile bounce

The recipient moves to Bounced status once every address has been tried.

Rotation and Bounce Rate reporting

A recipient who bounces on one address but delivers on a rotated address is not counted in Bounce Rate — they were successfully contacted. See Understanding How Sequence Metrics Are Calculated.
