Walk Into Every Sales Call Already Knowing Who You're Talking To

You book the call, and then the day arrives and you're scrambling to remember who this person is, what their company does, and what to actually say. Prep gets skipped, and you walk in cold.

This automation fixes that quietly in the background. The moment someone books, it researches who they are, writes a short brief and talking points in your saved voice, and posts it to your team chat before the call. You build the whole thing by talking to your Claude in plain English, no code.

Better still, once it's live you can turn its page into a link you share with your network, proof that you run a sharp process before every conversation.

What you get

• A working automation that briefs you before every Cal.com call, running on its own.
• A brief in your own voice with talking points, delivered to your team chat before you dial in.
• A published page about this automation with a link you can share.
• A clear signal to prospects and peers that you prepare for every call properly.

What you need

• A free Autoploy account.
• A Cal.com account where people book your calls.
• A Slack workspace for the brief to land in.
• Your Claude subscription, or your own AI key if you prefer.

How it works, step by step

1. Read the booking. Read who booked, their company, and the call time from the inbound booking. It pulls the booker's name, company, and call time straight from the booking.
2. New booking?. Decide whether this is a new booking or a cancellation or reschedule. This tells the difference between a real new booking and a cancellation or reschedule.
3. Check the Call briefs list. Look in the Call briefs list for a brief already written for this booking. It checks whether you've already been briefed for this exact booking.
4. Already briefed this booking?. Decide whether a brief for this exact booking already exists.
5. Skip. A brief for this booking already exists, so nothing is written twice. If a brief already exists, it stops here so you never get the same thing twice.
6. Read your business context. Read the saved business fields this automation is locked to: your voice, offer, audience, method, proof, guardrails, and links. It reads your saved voice, offer, audience, method, proof, guardrails, and links.
7. Enough context to sound like you?. Decide whether the saved fields are filled enough for a brief in your voice. It checks whether those fields are full enough to sound like you.
8. Note the gaps. Note which saved fields are empty or thin, so the brief opens with an honest line instead of pretending. If some fields are thin, the brief opens with an honest note instead of faking it.
9. Research the booker. Look up the booker from the booking details (their company's public site, from their email domain). It looks up the booker from their company's public site via their email domain.
10. Research found anything?. Decide whether anything public was actually found about the booker. It checks whether anything public actually turned up.
11. Say the research is thin. Note that nothing public was found, so the brief says the research is thin instead of padding. If nothing was found, the brief says the research is thin rather than padding it.
12. Write the brief with Claude. Write the brief and talking points in your saved voice, marking every claim as found (with the source), inferred, or assumed, and never using the words your guardrails forbid. Every claim is marked found, inferred, or assumed, and it never uses words your guardrails forbid.
13. Log it in Call briefs. Add one row to the Call briefs list, keyed by the booking id, so a replayed booking never writes a second brief. It logs one row keyed by the booking id, so a replayed booking never writes a second brief.
14. Deliver the brief. Post the brief to your team chat before the call. The finished brief lands in your team chat before the call starts.
15. Skip. This was a cancellation or reschedule, so no brief is written. If it was a cancellation or reschedule, no brief is written.

FAQ

Build it once by talking to your Claude, let it brief you before every call, and share the page it hands you. The process quietly runs itself, and the link you share brings the next person in.
