Automate customer success meeting follow-up with AI

Customer success teams often spend hours preparing for follow-up, just reviewing meeting transcripts, tracking past activity, and drafting reports. This quick start playbook automates the full process, from gathering notes to sharing a summary with the customer.

It works with your existing tools—calendar, CRM, email, and call platforms—so you can plug it into your current workflow without changing how your team operates.

How to configure the customer success meeting follow-up quick start playbook

Setting up this playbook is simple. Each step allows you to choose the tools your team already uses.

Step 1: Retrieve meeting transcript and notes

Start by selecting the app where your meeting took place. Bardeen will pull the transcript and any available notes to begin the summary process. Choose from:

• Zoom
• Gong
• Fireflies
• HubSpot
• Salesforce
• Pipedrive
• Zoho

This step is critical as it forms the base of the follow-up report. Accurate transcripts help capture the full context of the conversation.

Step 2: Retrieve previous activity data

Next, Bardeen pulls past activity related to the account. This includes previous meetings, emails, and CRM updates. This context helps identify trends and ensures that follow-ups are relevant to the customer’s journey so far.

Use sources such as:

• HubSpot
• Salesforce
• Pipedrive
• Zoho
• Gmail
• Outlook

This step ensures that your follow-up is informed by the full history of the account, not just the most recent meeting.

Step 3: Create a report based on findings

Bardeen uses AI to generate a structured report from the transcript and past activity. This includes a summary of the meeting, key action items, and any customer feedback or concerns.

The report is formatted for easy sharing and internal review. It helps standardize how follow-ups are handled and ensures consistency across your team.

Step 4: Save report to CRM

Choose whether to update your CRM with the report. Bardeen can attach the summary to the account record, ensuring that all customer interactions are logged and accessible.

Options include:

• Update my CRM
• Do not update my CRM

This step is important for maintaining accurate records and supporting sales lead management and customer tracking.

Step 5: Notify account team

Select how you want to notify your internal team. Bardeen can send the report to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email, depending on your preferences.

Options include:

• Send to Slack
• Send to Microsoft Teams
• Send via Google Mail
• Send via Microsoft Outlook

This step ensures that everyone involved with the account is aware of the latest updates and can take action if needed.

Step 6: Share meeting summary with the customer (optional)

If you want to send a personalized follow-up email to the customer, Bardeen can draft one using the meeting summary.

The tools you can use to send the email include:

• Google Mail
• Microsoft Outlook
• Lemlist
• Outreach
• Salesforce
• Smartlead
• Apollo

This optional step helps maintain strong communication with your customer and reinforces key takeaways from the meeting.
