Frequently asked questions
How far ahead does it send?
Whatever you set in Step 1's window. An hour before is common; nudge it earlier if you like to prep the night before.
What if there's no CRM record?
The flow still runs — it just leans on the web-enrichment step and the meeting invite. Add a fallback so a thin brief is better than none.
