Buying-Intent Lead Desk

Lead Desk: sweep inbox, DMs, form replies and CRM for buying intent, one short list, follow-ups kept as drafts until you say yes

Calix's Lead Desk template is built for leads that pile up across channels. Each sweep checks Gmail or Outlook, X and Slack DMs, form replies, and your CRM or sheet. It finds people showing intent to buy, book or talk, and sends you one short list with drafted follow-ups. Drafts stay drafts until you say yes: nothing sends and nothing gets logged without your approval. The post includes a 32-second demo.

Work-Order to Booked Job

Work-order intake to booked job: bot pulls work orders from client portals, checks capacity, books it

A plumbing company owner, whose largest customers are facility-maintenance, warranty and property-management firms, built a bot in about four hours to handle 5–6 time-sensitive work orders a day. Each client sends work through its own app. Using its own browser in those client portals, plus Gmail, Slack, ServiceTitan and a quoting tool, the bot reviews the job, finds open calendar slots, confirms the customer's availability and books it. He says work order to booked job takes about 10 minutes, assuming the customer replies promptly. The post describes no human-approval step.

Sponsorship Email Scorer

Inbound sponsorship-email scoring: routine scores and labels inbound offers, archives the spam

A creator with heavy inbound sponsorship email has a bot score each sponsor inquiry with a lead-scoring heuristic he brought over from another agent. Spammy offers are archived automatically. The rest are labeled and ranked so he can ask for "all the high-quality sponsor emails." The same routine applies about a dozen labels (PR firms, internal ops and others). It runs every 30 minutes, 8 a.m.–7 p.m. on weekdays, with a morning batch.

Read-Only PLG Metrics Bot

Nummie: read-only PLG numbers bot (number + definition + query + caveats)

A PLG numbers bot for growth teams. Every answer comes with the number, its definition, the source and query, and the caveats. It's read-only: it never guesses, never rounds a caveat away, and never declares a winner without a holdout.

SDR Morning Intake Gate

SDR morning intake: CLEAR vs FLAG gate across Nooks, Amplemarket, and Salesforce

Cursor agents build research packets (Hex usage, Salesforce, Gong) and draft first touches overnight. A chief-of-staff bot checks each contact for activity in Nooks, a pause in Amplemarket, or a Stage 0 opp. CLEAR contacts get enrolled unsent; FLAGs wait for the SDR. Helper bots keep the prospecting sheet deduped and send blank LinkedIn requests within caps. One batch: 6 skipped, 34 flagged, 1 sent, and 24 mis-sequenced contacts fixed in one pass.

Speed-to-Lead Form Test

Clay Speed-to-Lead test: Grok Bot fills the demo form and times the reply

A self-serve lead magnet that measures how fast a team answers a demo request. Clay enriches the requester's email and posts a task in Slack. Grok Bot fills the target company's demo-request form using its own email, times the gap until that company replies, and Clay emails the requester the results. The same guide lists 10 Clay + Grok Bot GTM plays (outbound, automated inbound, PLG assist, ABM, CRM enrichment, TAM sourcing, territory planning, reverse ETL, account research, rep productivity).
