Frequently asked questions
What counts as 'stale'?
You set the threshold — commonly 7 days of no logged activity for an open deal past a certain stage. The query filters on last-activity date and stage. Early-stage deals can have a longer leash than late-stage ones if you add a per-stage threshold.
Why DM the rep instead of a group channel?
A personal, targeted list ('your 3 deals went quiet') drives action; a public list creates noise and defensiveness. The workflow groups stale deals by owner and sends each rep only theirs, which respects their attention and gets deals worked.
Turn Sales Call Recordings into CRM Summaries and Next Steps
An n8n workflow that takes a finished sales call recording, transcribes it, has Claude write a summary with objections, buying signals and clear next steps, and saves it as a note on the CRM deal — so reps stop typing recaps and managers get consistent, searchable call intelligence.
