Bounces arrive in bursts, a few hundred on a send day and almost none between campaigns. Each one is the same small sequence: two Mailgun lookups, a HubSpot search, one update, sometimes a Slack line. Codex is fast on bounded work like that, which is what you want when the queue is three hundred deep.
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos. First permanent failure for this address, sent by the July invoice reminder campaign. The contact opened eleven emails before this and last clicked on 14 June.

List hygiene rules
What a hard bounced address should become in HubSpot: which field to set, to which value, and where the bounce details get written. The agent only ever makes the changes this names.
Alert criteria
Which bounces are worth interrupting someone for, for example a paying customer domain, a VIP account, or more than five bounces on one domain in a day. Everything else stays silent.

Watch it handle a test run
A staged conversation against a simulated world — then it’s live.
A send-day spike is hundreds of identical short runs. Per-run speed is the only variable that matters at that shape.
The hygiene rules name the field and the value. Writing exactly that, with the SMTP code and provider message recorded, is precise work rather than creative work.
Yes, to update the specific fields your hygiene rules name on a contact matched by the bounced address, and nothing beyond that. No delete, merge or unsubscribe operation is wired in at all, so the worst case is a field you can set back. Keep your alert criteria wide for the first week so you can watch what it does.
Free to start. Guided setup, a test run against staged conversations, and it's live.
