For follow-up actions, in this example a rep will add the user to the Salesloft cadence and create a HubSpot deal. Calixa helps reps save time by pre-filling user and account information into your apps.

Use a Playbook

Then pick one of your existing Playbooks or create a new Playbook.

Viewing Playbooks

Playbook alerts show up in your team’s Inbox. The Inbox replaces traditional email or Slack alerts with a dedicated task management system in Calixa. Reps can mark items as Open, Completed, or Archived.
