Deals Going Dark

Detects silence across email, Slack, and calendar for active deals, flags opportunities losing momentum, and prepares context-aware follow-ups for review before a deal slips.

What this agent does

Detects silence across email, Slack, and calendar for active deals. Flags deals going dark before they slip. Drafts context-aware follow-ups.

Who this is for

Designed for founders, revenue leaders, and go-to-market teams that want a reviewable deals going dark workflow grounded in their own organizational context.

When it runs

When an active deal has no meaningful email, meeting, or stakeholder activity inside the team’s configured risk window.

How the workflow works

Monitor active deals → detect a meaningful engagement gap → retrieve deal and relationship context → explain the risk → draft a reviewable next-best follow-up.

Inputs and prerequisites

Connect the relevant systems, define the approved data scope and success criteria, and assign a human owner for review. The workflow should not run on data or channels the team has not authorized.

Typical inputs include approved Nex, CRM, communication, calendar, and workspace context; the team’s ICP, voice, playbooks, and approval rules; and the source records needed for this specific run.

Outputs

The agent returns a sourceable result, its reasoning and evidence, linked Nex records or proposed updates when relevant, and approval-ready drafts or next actions. For this template, the core flow is: Monitor active deals → detect a meaningful engagement gap → retrieve deal and relationship context → explain the risk → draft a reviewable next-best follow-up.

Approvals and safeguards

Risk thresholds are configurable. The agent explains its evidence and drafts follow-up; a person approves external outreach.

Integrations

This template can use approved Nex, CRM, communication, calendar, and workspace context. Connections, permissions, and available actions vary by the workspace configuration.

What it can replace

Consolidates parts of deal-risk monitoring and follow-up preparation commonly handled in Clari, Gong, and CRM reporting. It does not replace every forecasting or conversation-intelligence capability. Referenced workflow tools include Clari, Hubspot.
