Post a daily pipeline brief to Slack every morning

Images on this page are for illustrative purposes only. Example outputs in this play are illustrative — the structure, fields, and format reflect real Lusha, Gmail, Calendar, and Slack connector output, but were not pulled from a live session.

Before the first call of the day, this Claude prompt pulls today’s external meetings from Google Calendar, checks Gmail for threads that have gone silent, runs a quick contact health check via Lusha, and posts a structured morning brief to Slack. Every rep and manager starts the day with the same picture — no standup needed.

The prompt

Open in Claude Open in ChatGPT 
<context>
Before the day starts, I want a morning pipeline brief posted to our team Slack channel — today's external meetings, any unanswered threads that need attention before EOD, and a quick contact health check on any deal touching a call today. One post, one channel, everything the team needs to start the day aligned.

My setup:
- Slack channel: [CHANNEL NAME — e.g. #pipeline or #team-sales]
- Team members to tag: [NAMES OR "tag the deal owner per item"]
- What I sell: [PRODUCT / SOLUTION]
- Pipeline stage focus: [ALL ACTIVE DEALS / PROPOSAL AND BEYOND / SPECIFIC STAGE]
</context>

<task>
1. Pull today's external meetings from Google Calendar:
   - Company, attendees, meeting type, time
   - Flag any meeting with no prep email sent in the last 48 hours

2. Search Gmail for any active deal thread with no reply in 7+ days:
   - Deal name, company, last outbound topic, days since last touch
   - Flag if there's an outstanding commitment or unanswered question in the thread

3. Use Lusha to run a quick contact health check on every deal with a meeting today:
   - Primary contact still at the company?
   - Title current?
   - Any account signal in the last 14 days?

4. Build the morning brief and post to Slack:

   Format — one structured post, *bold* key fields:

   *Good morning — pipeline brief for [DATE]*

   *TODAY'S CALLS*
   For each external meeting: time, company, verified attendee names and titles, one thing to know

   *THREADS NEEDING ATTENTION TODAY*
   For each thread 7+ days without reply: deal, last topic, days silent, recommended action

   *CONTACT FLAGS*
   Any contact issue detected via Lusha — departed, title changed, signal detected

   *SUMMARY*
   X calls today · X threads need attention · X contact flags

5. Tag the relevant deal owner next to each item.
</task>

<constraints>
- Post to Slack. Don't return as text only.
- Keep the brief scannable — reps read this on their phone before the first call.
- ONE THING TO KNOW per meeting must be specific — not "be prepared."
- If there are no flags or silent threads, say so — don't pad the output.
- SUMMARY line is for the manager, not just the rep.
</constraints>

What you'll get back

Why use Lusha in Claude

The Highspot flag is what justifies running this every morning. Without the brief, James joins a Proposal demo at 2pm without knowing the primary contact may have left and the buying group intro was never made. The brief surfaces that at 8:30am — giving the AE five hours to verify and adjust. The Notion thread flag — 38 days, promised case study never sent — is the kind of thing a rep knows but doesn’t prioritize until it’s too late. A manager who sees it in the morning brief can address it in a 30-second Slack message before the day gets away from the team.

FAQ

  • Who runs this — the manager or each rep?

    Either works. A manager running it for the whole team gets the cross-team view and can address systemic gaps. A rep running it for a personal pipeline gets a personal morning checklist. The Slack channel determines the audience — post to #pipeline for the team view, to a personal channel for the individual view.

  • Can I run this automatically every morning?

    Not natively in Claude — the prompt runs on demand. For fully automated daily posts, use the Lusha + Zapier or n8n automation plays which support scheduled triggers. This play is for teams that want the brief on demand with a manual run each morning.

  • What if there are no threads needing attention and no contact flags?

    The prompt posts: “No threads overdue · No contact flags — clean day.” That’s a useful output — it confirms the team’s pipeline is in good shape without requiring anyone to check individually.

  • How is this different from the daily meeting brief?

    The daily meeting brief is a personal pre-call brief for one person — one screen per meeting, designed for individual prep. This prompt is a team brief posted to Slack — covers the whole pipeline including threads and contact flags, designed for manager visibility and team alignment. Use the meeting brief for personal prep, use this one for the team’s morning operating view.
