# Stalled deals

> Catch deals with no activity and nudge the owner.

Deals go quiet and nobody notices until the quarter ends. Hops finds stalled deals, says what stalled and drafts a nudge to the owner.

<Info>
  **How it runs:** Scheduled. An automation runs every weekday at 10am, nudges owners and saves the list as a Doc. You can also ask Hops any time.
</Info>

## What it does

* **Flags stalled deals.** Open deals with no activity in 14 days, or stuck in one stage too long.
* **Says what stalled.** The reason comes from the last notes and email threads.
* **Drafts the nudge.** Each owner gets a message with a suggested next step.
* **Nudges once a week per deal,** so owners are not spammed.

## Ask Hops

Copy a prompt into any chat with Hops, or mention `@Hops` in a Space.

```text theme={null}
Which open deals have had no activity in 14 days?
```

```text theme={null}
What is stuck in Legal for over a month?
```

```text theme={null}
Draft a nudge to the owner of the Acme renewal.
```

```text theme={null}
Show stalled deals for the Northwind team.
```

Example reply:

> 6 stalled deals found:
>
> * 4 with no activity in 21+ days.
> * 2 stuck in Legal for over a month.
> * Nudges drafted for each owner.

## What you get

* **A Slack or Space post** with the stalled deals and nudges sent to owners.
* **A saved Doc** in **Docs** with the list and reasons, dated.
* **On-demand checks** by owner, stage or amount.
