Correct answer: The contact's email is marked as invalid or unsubscribed
HubSpot skips sequence email steps if the contact's email address is unsubscribed or marked as invalid to protect deliverability.

- Deal workflows are triggered by and act on deal records rather than contact records (Correct answer)
- Deal workflows only run during business hours

Correct answer: Deal workflows are triggered by and act on deal records rather than contact records
Deal-based workflows enroll and perform actions on deal records, such as updating deal stage or creating tasks, rather than contact records.
