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

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.

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

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.

  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
