No buyer found

Starts when a distribution found no matching partner. The way to still make something of an unsold record instead of letting it sit.

Step by step

1. Make sure a distribution is set up and the automation that distributes is running.
2. Through the menu at the top right of the Records page create a second automation and take No buyer found as the trigger.
3. Save the trigger and set the steps — a stage No buyer, a notification, or a task.
4. Switch it on and use the trial run on a record that no rule matches.

Why can I not carry on after the distribute step?

Because with no buyer the step ends as skipped and the following steps no longer run. Whatever should happen then hangs on this trigger.

Why did no partner fit?

The trial run under Distribution shows it: it lists every rule with its reason — condition, limit, time window or duplicate.

Does it fire when every partner has hit their daily limit?

Yes. For the record the outcome is the same: no buyer. Whether it was the condition or the limit is in the trial run.

And on a duplicate?

A duplicate is not a missing buyer but a deliberate rejection. The trigger does not fire there.
