Draft post-call follow-up emails in seconds

Scratchpad drafts high-quality follow-up emails the moment your call ends, pulling context from transcripts, notes, emails, and Salesforce in just one click.


The problem with post-call follow-ups
  • Sellers push them off after a long day. By the time they write them, details are fuzzy and momentum is gone.
  • Leaders see inconsistent recaps that don’t match the quality of the call itself.
  • RevOps find Salesforce missing key notes, logged activities, and follow-up context — leaving gaps in reporting and deal history.

Your call ends. The follow-up is ready.

Scratchpad auto-drafts personalized follow-up emails using real customer conversations across calls, notes, emails, and Salesforce fields.

  • Scratchpad helps write proven prompts for you or you can create your own and tune them to your process.
  • Get a ready-to-send draft that sounds like a human wrote them.
  • Stay in control with one click to review, edit, personalize, and send.

How it works
  1. Choose how you capture calls — Scratchpad works where you do:
    • Desktop Scratchpad Notetaker: Works with all meeting platforms.
    • Scratchpad Notetaker Bot: Join meetings on Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom.
    • Zoom or Gong: Connect directly sync calls into Scratchpad.
    • Then add Gmail to capture email context.
  2. Create follow-up email prompt
  3. Generate your follow-up email
    • Go to Ask AI from any call
    • Select your follow-up email prompt
    • Review the email, personalize, and share

Example Prompt
Prompt

You are an AI assistant connected to my recorded sales calls and CRM data.

Your task: generate a follow-up email that:

  • Reads like it came from a thoughtful sales rep
  • Summarizes a real conversation
  • Includes real quotes from the customer

Format requirements:

  • Subject: Meeting Recap - [MM/DD/YY]
  • Greeting: [First Name], below I’ve shared key takeaways and next steps.
  • Two sections, each with 3 dash-style bullets:
    • Key takeaways
      • First two bullets = customer’s words (pain or challenges)
      • Third bullet = how [company] helps, tied to those problems
    • Next steps
      • Next meeting with date and purpose
      • Customer-side action
      • Seller-side action

Bullet rules:

  • One sentence, under 20 words
  • Active voice
  • No conjunctions
  • Use direct quotes where possible
Output
Subject: Meeting Recap - 07/30/25

Hi Taylor, below I’ve shared key takeaways and next steps.

Key takeaways:
- "We’re still chasing reps for updates every week — it’s become a huge time sink"
- "Our VP needs visibility, but the pipeline is never current when she checks"
- Scratchpad auto-syncs updates so leaders get real-time pipeline visibility without bugging reps

Next steps:
- Follow-up scheduled for 08/02/25 to review pipeline automation workflows
- Taylor to confirm integration feasibility with current Salesforce setup
- Oscar to prep examples of pipeline reporting improvements

Best,
Oscar
