Email a meeting cancelled alert to the sales rep

I get a front-seat view of how our sales team at RevenueHero obsesses over cancelled meetings and takes steps based on cancellation reasons provided by the prospect. 

This helps us understand why drop offs happen in a funnel and fine tune the buying experience on the go.  

That’s why “meeting cancelled” alerts to sales reps are the first step to build an org-wide habit of following up with prospects, getting the cancellation reasons, and winning back that meeting.

Let’s find out how you can use RevenueHero to automate these meeting alerts instantly on email.

How to automate “meeting cancelled” email alerts for your sales reps on

RevenueHero lets you build workflows to automate critical pieces of the GTM funnel based on lead and meeting-level scenarios. 

Not to mention, our reps never have to manually update the CRM about cancelled meetings and other meeting statuses – RevenueHero detects this automatically and pushes this data to the CRM.

Here’s how you can send instant meeting alerts to your sales reps on email when a prospect cancels a meeting: 
‍

1. Choose your workflow’s trigger and corresponding action

Head to the workflows tab in RevenueHero and create a new workflow. From the workflow options that you find, choose “When a meeting is cancelled” as a trigger.

In the next page, choose the Meeting Types for which the cancellation workflow needs to be triggered. You can configure it for All Meetings or select specific Meeting Types. 

For instance, you might be using a specific meeting type for SDRs to qualify prospects and another one for demos from AEs. You can take these meeting scenarios into account while triggering cancellation alerts.

Then, add the outcome for the trigger by selecting “Send mail to assignee”.
‍

2. Create a meeting alert with useful lead information for sales reps

Under “Action”, you can add the email body for the meeting cancelled alert. RevenueHero also lets you configure an email alert along with all the necessary lead details using placeholders for:

• Reason for meeting cancellation

• Meeting time and type

• Prospect details based on form entries and enrichment

• Assigned sales rep’s name
  ‍

The “Cancellation reason” placeholder can be used to understand the gaps in your prospects’ buying experience. So, consider setting up a prompt asking for a cancellation reason with a drop down or an empty field for the prospect to fill in.

‍

Pro tip: You can also choose to create a group email id with your sales reps and use “Send mail to specific address” as a trigger. This will help team-wide visibility whenever a meeting is booked – while the email body will contain the details of the sales rep who’s been assigned the meeting.

I hope this template helps you set up email alerts for meeting cancellation in no time. For more detailed workflows and use cases, check out other power routes.
