When It Runs

1

Triggers determine when your agent runs. You can choose between two options:

  • Manual: Run the agent on demand. Best for one-off analyses or actions you want full control over.
  • Scheduled: Run the agent automatically at a set frequency (e.g., daily, weekly). Best for recurring workflows where you want results ready without any extra effort.
The Expansion Opportunity Finder works best on a scheduled trigger.

Set it to run daily or weekly so your account managers always start their day with a fresh, prioritized view of the highest-value actions they can take to move deals forward with no manual effort.

Where It Delivers

2

“Actions” answer the question: Where do we want to send the agent output?

You can choose between 4 options:

  • Slack Send Message – posts the result into a Slack channel so your team sees it instantly
  • Sync To Salesforce – saves the result directly into your Salesforce CRM
  • Create Task – turns the result into an actionable to-do item for a rep to follow up on
  • Webhook Send – sends the result to any other tool or system you use (it's a universal connector for apps not listed here)
The Expansion Opportunity Finder works best with the “Create Task” action, or a Slack message.

Set it to create a task for each AM so they always have a clear, prioritized action waiting for them. No more digging through notes or CRM fields to figure out what to do next!

How It Thinks

The contract is where you tell the agent what to do in plain English. Think of it as writing instructions for a new team member!
