Email bounce / delivery failure alerts for customer emails

When an email we send to a customer bounces or fails, nobody tells us. That covers quotes, invoices, reminders and automation emails. The bounce notice goes to noreply@emailcopilotcrm.com, so we only find out when a customer calls asking where their quote or invoice is.
What we'd like:
- Bounce alert. When a customer email bounces, send a notification to the company's business email and show it in the in-app notification bell. Include the customer name, the email address, what was sent (quote #, invoice #, or the automation name) and the bounce reason.
- Flag the customer record. Mark the customer's email as "Bounced / Invalid" on their profile so the office sees it the next time they open the account.
- Automation trigger. Add an "Email Bounced / Delivery Failed" trigger. Then we could create a to-do automatically, or text the customer asking for a correct email address.
Why it matters: right now our only option is checking Automation History by hand, and that doesn't cover emails sent outside automations. Missed quotes and invoices cost us jobs and slow down payments.

Never thought about this happening but should definitely be a must have
