How to Start Receiving AI Suggestions


Scratchpad offers two ways to receive AI suggestions for your calls, allowing you to choose the recording setup that works best for you.

AI Suggestions Using Scratchpad's Call Recorder

Scratchpad's Call Recorder can capture internal or external calls using the Scratchpad Notetaker (bot), which automatically joins meetings on your Google Calendar - regardless of the meeting platform.

AI suggestions are automatically generated for calls once call recording is enabled and prompts are configured. Learn more about enabling Scratchpad's Call Recorder here.

AI Suggestions Using Zoom's Native Recorder

With Zoom’s Native Recorder, Scratchpad will capture external calls and recommend AI suggestions based on the recordings.

Please note, Cloud Recording must be enabled to use Zoom's Native Recorder. Learn more here.

  1. Navigate to Settings, then AI Agents

  2. Click Enable under Hygiene Agent

  3. Connect your Google Calendar

  4. Link Zoom as your meeting platform

  5. Once configured, the Hygiene Agent will join your next call, analyze it, and populate suggestions based on set prompts. Click Add fields to include more.

✨ Enable AI notifications to get insights and suggestions through Email or Slack DM after each call!

Set Up AI Prompts


  1. Navigate to the Gear Icon in the bottom-left corner of your Scratchpad homepage

  2. Select AI CRM Updates under Workspace

  3. Edit your Company description to guide the AI in delivering tailored Salesforce updates

  4. Select the object you'd like to configure AI Prompts for, Opportunity fields or Account fields

  5. Click + Add to create a new prompt

  6. AI will automatically generate prompt details based on existing field data, which you can review and customize before saving:

    • Field: Select the field you'd like to create the prompt for

    • Description: Provide details about the field to help the AI know what updates to look for

    • Update Behavior: Select whether to update this field manually or automatically

    • Output format: Describe how you want to see the update formatted, you'll only see this option when configuring a text field

    • Context: Choose between using the latest call or all calls for AI suggestions

    • Test Prompt: Select a recorded call from the dropdown and click Run test to generate

  7. Click Save

Using AI Suggestions


AI Suggestions simplify keeping your CRM fields clean and accurate. With actionable and detailed updates taken directly from calls, your team can spend more time selling and less time updating.

AI Suggestions within Calls

When reviewing a call, click Field Updates under AI Suggestions to see all relevant suggestions.

Fields set to update automatically will display their auto-accepted suggestions at the bottom of the suggestions list.

AI Suggestions within Views or Tiles

The ✨ icon by a field within a View or Tile indicates that an AI Suggestion is available, click to view the suggestion and the source.

Taking Action

  • Replace with: Overwrite the existing data after clicking Accept

  • Prepend: Add the suggestion above the current text after clicking Accept

  • Dismiss: Remove the suggestion

  • Revert: For fields that are set to update automatically, you can revert the change. Please note, this is only available if the field was not updated since the auto-accept occured.

AI Notifications


Get AI-driven insights through Email or Slack DM. After each call, users receive a notification summarizing the conversation, highlighting key action items, and providing a quick link to view AI suggestions for follow-up.

Notifications also indicate how many suggestions were auto-accepted versus those awaiting review and approval.

  1. Navigate to Settings in Scratchpad, then Notifications

  2. Next to AI, check Email and/or Slack (integrate Slack if prompted)

What do notifications look like?

FAQ


Why are my AI Suggestions not populating?

AI Suggestions will only populate if your call is linked to an Account and/or Opportunity and you have created the AI Prompts for the object, this is how we pull the fields to update.

The Account and/or Opportunity will automatically link using this logic:

  1. Google Integration is enabled in Scratchpad

  2. There is an external participant on the Google Calendar event that is a contact in SFDC

  3. That participant is related to an account with an active opportunity or related to an opportunity contact role

  4. If no related Opportunity is found, we will link to the account, based on external emails present in the calendar event

To manually link to an Account and/or Opportunity:

  1. Navigate to Calls within your Scratchpad Navigation Bar

  2. Select a call of your choice

  3. Within Overview, you can link the Account under Call Details and link the Opportunity under Deal Info
