Templates connecting Gmail and Slack
Stripe Checkout Recovery Agent
Catches every abandoned Stripe checkout and leaves a short recovery email in Gmail naming the exact items and prices the shopper saw, with no discount you never agreed to. An expired Stripe checkout is the most qualified thing in your account: somebody chose the plan, typed their address, and then closed the tab. This agent reads each expired session, and where a real address is attached it leaves a three paragraph email in Gmail quoting the exact items and prices that were on the screen, offering only what your policy actually authorizes. Sessions with nobody to write to become a Slack line rather than a guess. ## What people use it for - **Reach the nearly-customers** - Someone who got as far as the payment page has done every hard part except the last click. A note the same day, naming what they picked, converts at rates cold outreach never touches. - **The policy is the offer** - Recovery mail invents discounts nobody approved when it is written under pressure. Here the wording of any offer lives in one document, and an offer missing from it simply cannot appear in a draft. - **Strangers stay unwritten to** - Guest checkouts often expire with no address on them at all. Those never produce mail, because inferring somebody's address from a company name is how a recovery program turns into a complaint. - **Quotes the cart, not a template** - Every line item, quantity, and figure comes out of the session itself. The shopper recognizes their own basket instead of reading a generic reminder that could belong to anyone. ## Before you fork **What has to be wired up first?** A Stripe credential that receives the expired checkout session event and can read sessions and customers, a Gmail mailbox where the drafts will sit, and one Slack channel. After that you write the recovery policy in plain English. The Test Runs include an anonymous session, so you can confirm it stays quiet on those before going live. **Can it invent a discount to close the sale?** Its instructions forbid any offer that is not written in your policy word for word, including codes, percentages, free delivery, and stock scarcity. Because every message is a draft, an offer you never approved would still have to get past you before a customer could read it. **Will this fill my drafts folder with junk?** Only sessions carrying a real address ever produce a draft, which on most stores removes a large share of expired sessions immediately. Your policy trims further with a minimum cart value, a quiet period, and exclusions. Everything filtered out still shows up as one Slack line, so the volume is visible rather than hidden.
Failed Payment Recovery Agent
Turns every failed charge into a ready-to-send dunning email in Gmail and one Slack line, with the amounts and dates pulled straight from Stripe. Failed payments are the quietest way to lose revenue: a card expires, the retries fail, and nobody notices until the customer is gone. This agent picks up every failed charge, pulls the real invoice and subscription state out of Stripe, and leaves a friendly, accurate email in your drafts with one line in Slack so you know it happened. It never retries a charge or touches a subscription, so recovery stays a decision you make. ## What people use it for - **Catch involuntary churn early** - A large share of subscription cancellations start as a card that simply expired. Reaching the customer on day one, while they still remember paying you, is what turns that back into revenue. - **Emails that quote real numbers** - The amount, the plan, the invoice, and the date all come from Stripe rather than from a template with blanks. Customers respond faster to a message that clearly refers to their actual account. - **One Slack line, not a dashboard** - Nobody logs into Stripe to check for failures every morning. The channel gets a single line per failed charge with the reason and whether it needs a person. - **Big accounts get a human** - A templated dunning note to your largest customer is a bad first move. Accounts your policy marks as high value skip the draft entirely and get flagged for someone to call. ## Before you fork **What do I need to connect before it runs?** A Stripe connection that can receive the failed charge event and read customers, charges, invoices, and subscriptions, a Gmail account to hold the drafts, and the Slack channel you want the alerts in. You then write your dunning policy and a short description of what your business sells. Both are plain English, and the staged test runs show you the drafts they produce. **Can it retry a charge or cancel a customer?** No. It is wired to Stripe read operations only, so retrying, refunding, editing a payment method, and cancelling a subscription are all outside what it can do. Its writing tools are a Gmail draft and a Slack message, and every email still needs a person to press send. **What does it cost to run?** One agent run per failed charge, so a quiet month costs almost nothing and a bad card batch costs a little more. Each run does a handful of Stripe reads and writes one draft, so it stays short. If your retry settings mean the same invoice fails several times, the agent sees the failure count and flags the repeats instead of drafting the same email again.
Zoom Meeting Follow-up Agent
Drafts the after-call email into Gmail and files the HubSpot note minutes after Zoom finishes a transcript, with every next step traced back to a line in the meeting summary. Zoom has been summarising your calls for months and nearly nobody turns those summaries into anything. This agent picks one up the moment the transcript finishes, writes the customer email into your Gmail drafts in your own voice, and files the HubSpot note, then stops so a person can read it before anything leaves the building. Next steps are lifted from the summary line by line, which is how it avoids promising things in your name. ## What people use it for - **Zoom summaries finally used** - The summaries already exist and sit unread in the recordings tab. Each one becomes the email and the note that were going to move the deal along. - **Six calls in one day** - A rep who took six calls has six drafts waiting by 18:00, each addressed and written. Nothing slides to Friday and then gets written from memory. - **Internal calls leave no trace** - The participant check runs before any writing happens, so standups, forecast calls, and interviews produce no draft and no CRM note at all. - **Handover without the replay** - An account changing hands arrives with one note per call already on the record. The new owner reads five minutes instead of scrubbing through 50 minutes of video. ## Before you fork **Does this work if we record to our laptops?** No. It starts from Zoom's transcript completed event, which fires only for cloud recordings with audio transcription switched on in your account settings. Alongside Zoom you connect a HubSpot credential allowed to look up contacts and add notes, a Gmail credential for drafts, and the Slack channel that carries the occasional escalation line. **Could it email a customer by accident?** The one Gmail operation wired into this template creates a draft. There is no send operation on the graph at all. The failure mode is a draft that needs rewriting, sitting unsent in Gmail, and whatever the customer eventually reads went out under a human hand. **What does it cost to run?** You pay per run, and a run happens once per recorded meeting. Internal meetings stop after the participant check and cost almost nothing, so a month with 40 customer calls is 40 real runs and a handful of cheap ones.
Email Lead Qualification Agent
Scores every inbound email against your criteria, files the contact and a written note in HubSpot, and pings Slack only for the leads worth a call. Most of what lands in a sales inbox is not a lead, and the few that are get buried under the ones that are not. This agent reads every inbound email, scores it against criteria you write in plain English, and records what it found in HubSpot as a contact plus a note a rep can read before dialing. Slack only hears about the ones that passed, so the channel stays worth opening. ## What people use it for - **Cut a noisy inbox down** - Teams running inbound at scale find that fewer than one in ten emails deserve a rep's time. The agent reads all of them and surfaces only that slice, so nobody scrolls past a real buyer. - **Every lead reaches the CRM** - Contacts are matched or created in HubSpot with a written note attached, on the day the email arrives. No rep has to remember to log anything afterwards. - **Reps open with context** - The note carries what the buyer asked for in their own words, the score, and the reasoning behind it. That is the difference between a cold first call and one that starts halfway in. - **Nights and weekends covered** - An email that arrives at 23:00 on Friday is scored and filed before Monday. The follow-up starts from a full picture instead of an unread inbox. ## Before you fork **What do I need to connect before it runs?** A Gmail account that receives your inbound mail, a HubSpot account with permission to search contacts, create contacts, and write notes, and the Slack channel you want alerts in. Then you write two things in your own words: what a good lead looks like, and what your reps want in a summary. Setup walks you through both, and the test runs let you see a real score before any live email arrives. **Will it email my leads or overwrite my HubSpot data?** No to both. It has no send tool at all, so it can never reply to a prospect on your behalf. In HubSpot it searches by email address first and only creates a contact when there is no match, and it writes notes rather than editing existing properties, deals, or lifecycle stages. **What does it cost to run?** One short agent run per inbound email, so the cost tracks your inbound volume rather than a seat count. If the same inbox also receives newsletters and receipts, point the Gmail trigger at a filtered label so those never start a run. Unqualified mail stops at the HubSpot note, so nothing further is spent on it.
Calendly No-Show Recovery Agent
Turns every Calendly no-show into a warm rebooking email waiting in Gmail, and sends the repeat no-shows to a rep instead of writing to them again. Most no-shows are a calendar problem rather than a rejection, and the deal quietly dies because nobody wants to write the awkward email. This agent picks the miss up the moment Calendly records it, checks whether this person has form for it, and leaves a short, unbothered rebooking note in Gmail with one link and one alternative time. When somebody has missed three times, it writes nothing and tells the rep, which is the more honest answer. ## What people use it for - **Rebook without the guilt** - The difference between a reply and silence is usually whether the note reads as an invitation or an accusation. The draft mentions the empty slot once, then talks about when to try again. - **Same day, every time** - Following up on a missed call is the task that slides to tomorrow and then to never. The draft is sitting in Gmail before the host has finished the meeting they went to instead. - **Their booking answers, reused** - Whatever the invitee typed when they booked is the warmest material anyone has on them. Echoing one line of it turns a form letter into something that reads like it came from the person they were meant to meet. - **Serial missers reach a rep** - Somebody on their third miss does not need a third email, they need a decision about whether this is real. Those arrive in Slack with the dates attached and no draft written. ## Before you fork **Which accounts does it need?** The Calendly account your meetings run on, with permission to read scheduled events and invitees, a Gmail account for the drafts, and a Slack channel for the running log. You supply the rebooking policy, including the link you want used and how many misses are too many. Nothing in Calendly is written to at any point. **Can it just rebook the meeting itself?** No. It cannot send mail, cancel, reschedule, or edit a booking, because only read operations from Calendly are wired in and Gmail gives it drafting alone. The invitee picks their own new time from the link, which also spares you the guessing about what suits them. **How does it know somebody is a repeat offender?** It lists that invitee's previous scheduled events with your team and reads how those ended, so a first miss and a fourth one produce genuinely different outcomes. Where the history is thin or the address they booked with is new, it treats the miss as a first and says so in the Slack line.
Inbox Triage Agent
Labels every email that hits a shared inbox, forwards it to the person who owns it, and pings Slack only when something genuinely cannot wait. A shared inbox is where work goes to wait, because sorting it is nobody's job in particular. This agent reads each new email, applies the label from your rules, and forwards it to the owner with two lines of context on top. Slack fires only for what you defined as urgent, so a ping in that channel still means something. ## What people use it for - **A legal inbox with owners** - Legal teams handling hundreds of emails a week have cut request management time by around 80 percent by sorting on arrival. Contracts, subpoenas, and vendor questions reach the right lawyer without a triage meeting. - **Operations and finance mail** - Invoices, supplier forms, and access requests get their label and go to the person who processes them. Nobody spends the first half hour of the day forwarding mail by hand. - **People and HR requests** - Sick notes, leave requests, and manager questions are routed to the single owner you named and never announced in a channel. Personal detail stays out of Slack by rule, not by luck. - **Nothing urgent gets buried** - An outage report or a hard deadline pings Slack the minute it lands, with the label, the ask, and who it went to. Everything else is handled in silence. ## Before you fork **What do I need to connect before it runs?** A Gmail account for the shared inbox, with the labels already created under the exact names you use in the rules, and the Slack channel for urgent items. Then you write the routing rules, one line per category with its label and its owner's email address, plus what counts as urgent. Everything the agent does comes from that list, so it is worth spending twenty minutes on. **What happens when it gets a label wrong?** It can only label and forward, so a mistake is a misfiled email, not a lost or answered one. It cannot reply to the sender, delete, or archive, and it will not forward to an address outside your rules. When nothing fits it applies your fallback label and says plainly that it could not classify the email, which is far easier to fix than a confident wrong route. Run it alongside your current process for a week and read the labels before you trust the forwards. **What does it cost to run?** One short agent run per email the trigger picks up, so cost follows inbox volume. Urgent items cost the same as routine ones, since the Slack post is the cheap part. If the inbox is full of automated notifications, filter the trigger to the mail you actually want triaged.
