Update next step dates, summary notes, and deal stage in CRM.

Required Technical Inputs & Prerequisites

Recommended Action: Ensure bot joins 1 minute before scheduled start time with clear recording notice.
2

Structured Note Generation

AI generates summary: Pain points, Decisions Made, Objections, Agreed Next Steps, and qualification criteria.

Recommended Action: Structure output using standard executive bullet format.
3

Field-Level CRM Update

Push structured fields (Next Steps date, Competitors mentioned, Budget stated) into CRM.

Recommended Action: Sync fields into CRM deal record within 5 minutes of call completion.
4

5

Recommended Action: Send Slack alert tagging account team with recording timestamp link.

Human Approval & Review Checkpoints

Autonomous systems must never operate completely unmonitored. The following critical checkpoints require explicit human review to protect deliverability, domain reputation, and buyer trust:

Rep Email Approval: Sales rep reviews the draft follow-up email and edits tone before clicking send to client.
Confidentiality Audit: Verify no confidential customer IP or payment details are captured in open CRM notes.
