Already using a CRM? Adding GPT makes it smarter - let’s connect it with your email system.

Basic Flow (Successful Scenario)

  • A new lead is logged in CRM.
  • GPT generates a personalized response draft using CRM notes.
  • Response is sent via email or queued for SDR review.
  • GPT summarizes past CRM notes for context.
  • Next-step recommendations are provided to the SDR.
  • CRM logs the interaction automatically for reporting.

Outcome: Leads get fast, consistent replies while SDRs save hours of manual work and focus on higher-value activities.

Alternate Flows

A1: Lead requires manual touch: If high-value or complex, SDR edits GPT draft before sending.

A2: CRM downtime: If CRM is unavailable, drafts are stored and synced later.

A3: GPT response error: If draft is poor, SDR regenerates with adjusted context.

A4: Compliance restrictions: If restricted data is detected, GPT omits it and alerts SDR.
