About This Automation

After a sales call ends, someone has to reconstruct what was discussed, update the deal record, write a follow-up email, attach the right materials, and alert the rest of the team. Doing this from memory or scrawled notes takes time away from selling and often gets skipped or rushed.

An automated version reads the meeting record, drafts a personalized recap and follow-up email, updates the deal stage, and notifies the manager without manual input. The result is faster follow-up, more consistent records, and less administrative drag on every deal.

Key features:
Extracts discussion points, objections, and next steps directly from the meeting record
Drafts a personalized follow-up email referencing what was actually discussed
Attaches the correct proposal or pricing document automatically
Updates the deal stage and logs the activity in the CRM without manual entry
Sets the next follow-up task and notifies the manager of deal status
Files the recap document in the shared deal folder for future reference

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Meeting Recording Completestrigger

Finishes transcribing the call the moment it ends and makes the transcript available.

2. Extract Key Points And Action Items

The Recap Extraction reads the transcript and pulls out discussion points, objections, and next steps.

3. Update Opportunity

The extracted summary and stage change are written directly onto the correct deal record.

4. Draft Follow-up Email And Attach Document

The Follow-up Drafting writes a personalised follow-up email and attaches the matching proposal.

5. Send Follow-up Email

When the drafted email meets the confidence threshold, it sends automatically.

6. Rep Reviews Draft Before Sending

If the automation flags low confidence, such as a complex or high-value deal, the draft routes to the rep for a quick check before sending.

7. Notify Manager

The Deal Activity Logger posts a deal status update to the manager's channel.

8. File Recap

The final recap document is saved automatically into the deal's shared folder.
