Meetings, Call Briefs & CRM

AutoReach integrates with Calendly and Cal.com to detect when leads book meetings, and generates AI-powered call briefs to prepare you for every conversation.

When to Set This Up

Set up meeting tracking early — ideally during onboarding — even if you don't think you need it yet. Two reasons:

  • Without a webhook, AutoReach can't know when a lead books. It will still send your booking link in messages, and leads will still book meetings, but those bookings don't get marked in your pipeline automatically. You end up tracking meetings in your head or in a spreadsheet.

  • Meeting status feeds back into the system. When a conversation reaches Meeting Booked, AutoReach extracts the winning exchanges as tone examples for future replies. Without webhook tracking, the AI doesn't learn from your wins.

If you don't have a paid Calendly plan, use Cal.com — it's free and webhook setup is one step. If you only have a custom booking URL, you can still inject it into messages via {{booking_link}}, but you'll need to track bookings manually.


Booking Integration

Supported Platforms

  • Calendly - requires a paid subscription for webhook support

  • Cal.com - free, no paid subscription required

  • Custom booking URLs - any scheduling page (no automatic tracking)

Calendar configuration is per-account. Open an account from the Accounts page and use the Calendar section. The form has two parts: (1) the booking page (provider + URL), and (2) meeting tracking (provider-specific webhook setup, surfaced once the booking page is saved).

Calendly Setup

Calendly webhooks require a paid Calendly plan (Standard, Teams, or Enterprise).

  1. In the account's Calendar section, choose Calendly and add your booking URL

  2. In Calendly, open the event's invitee form and add a required One Line question with the identifier shown in AutoReach - this is how bookings are matched back to a lead

  3. Generate a Personal Access Token in Calendly API settingsarrow-up-right and paste it into AutoReach

  4. Click Auto-fetch to populate your Organization URI (or paste it manually)

  5. Click Register webhook - AutoReach creates the webhook for you via the Calendly API

Cal.com Setup

  1. In the account's Calendar section, choose Cal.com and add your booking URL

  2. In Cal.com, open the event's Advanced > Booking Questions and add a required custom field with the identifier shown in AutoReach - this is how bookings are matched back to a lead

  3. Copy the webhook URL AutoReach generates

  4. Paste it into Cal.com's webhook settings. Bookings are tracked automatically

Custom Booking URLs

You can use any booking URL without webhook integration. The {{booking_link}} variable still works for injecting your URL into messages, but AutoReach will not automatically detect bookings. You will need to update meeting status manually.

How Lead Matching Works

When a booking webhook fires, AutoReach matches the attendee to a lead using the tracking parameter embedded in your booking URL via the {{booking_link}} template variable, or by matching the attendee's email address.

What Happens When a Meeting Is Booked

When a lead is matched:

  1. The lead's status is set to Meeting Booked

  2. Any pending follow-up actions are cancelled

  3. The meeting is recorded in the conversation thread

  4. Meeting count is updated in sequence statistics

  5. A winning tone example is auto-captured from the conversation

The {{booking_link}} template variable injects your calendar URL with lead-specific tracking:

This becomes a personalized booking link with the lead's identifier appended as a tracking parameter.


Call Brief Generation

Call briefs are AI-generated pre-call preparation documents that combine lead data, conversation history, and buyer intelligence into actionable talking points.

How to Generate a Call Brief

  1. Open any conversation in your Inbox

  2. Click the Call Brief button

  3. The brief generates in a few seconds and appears inline

The brief is saved to the conversation's metadata for future reference.

Chrome Extension CRM Pipeline

The AutoReach Chrome Extension brings your CRM pipeline into your browser. It works on LinkedIn and X, providing lead management, pipeline tracking, and account connectivity.

CRM Pipeline Stages

Leads move through a visual pipeline. The typical progression is New → Requested → Accepted → Contacted → Replied → Meeting → Won, but On Hold, Won, and Lost can be reached from any stage at any time.

Stage
Description

New

Freshly added to AutoReach

On Hold

Temporarily paused

Requested

Connection request sent

Accepted

Connection request accepted

Contacted

Ongoing conversation started

Replied

Lead has engaged with your outreach

Meeting

Meeting booked

Won

Deal closed

Lost

Disqualified or no longer pursuing

Leads auto-progress through stages as sequence activity occurs. You can manually drag leads between stages to override.

Adding Leads

On LinkedIn profile pages, the extension injects an "Add to Leads" button. Lead addition is manual: you identify prospects and add them via the extension panel.

The extension is a CRM tool, not an automated lead generator. It does not scan feeds or match ICPs automatically.

Account Connection

The extension handles connecting your LinkedIn and X accounts to AutoReach. It connects your active browser sessions and detects the platform automatically based on the current page.

LinkedIn Connection Tracking

When you send a connection request through AutoReach, the extension tracks the connection status and supports auto-withdrawal. The lead moves to the Requested stage automatically.
