Draft follow-up emails for Salesforce opportunities

Writing a personal follow-up for every open deal takes time nobody has. An Orkeste agent reads the opportunity and its recent activity in Salesforce and drafts a follow-up that builds on the last exchange. The rep approves each email; in Gmail it becomes a draft, in Outlook it is sent.

The problem

Reps fall back on the same template, or skip the follow-up when the week is busy. Prospects receive messages that ignore what they said last time, and deals go quiet.

How the workflow runs

Runs: Every week on the day you set, or when you start it for one deal.

  1. Pick the opportunities: The agent queries Salesforce for open opportunities that match its briefing, such as no activity for ten days, up to five per query.
  2. Read the history: It reads each opportunity and its logged activities.
  3. Draft: It writes one follow-up per deal that refers to the last exchange and proposes a clear next step.
  4. Approve: Each email waits in Validations; the rep edits, approves or rejects it.
  5. Send or save: Approved emails are sent from Outlook or saved as Gmail drafts, and the follow-up can be logged as an activity.

No follow-up leaves without the rep's approval when approval is on, and in Gmail the rep still presses send.

Questions about this workflow

Can it push a sequence to Outreach or Salesloft?

No. There is no connector for engagement tools. The agent drafts emails that you send from Gmail or Outlook.

Can it run a multi-step sequence?

It drafts the next email each time it runs. Schedule it weekly and it proposes the next follow-up for deals that are still quiet.

Will every prospect get the same email?

No. Each draft is written from that opportunity's history and your guidelines.
