Commands
Talk to Sales Assistant in its designated Slack channel. You can trigger a scan, ask for a draft status, or dismiss a prospect directly from a card, all without leaving Slack. You can also do the same work in the app: the Sales page has a button to scan on demand and a list of every draft to open, dismiss, or snooze. If your agency has turned Slack off, the app is where you do all of it.
Trigger a Scan Now
Sales Assistant runs automatically every few hours, but you can request an immediate scan at any time.
@Agenteous scan for dormant prospects
Sales Assistant checks all three sources (HubSpot deals, HubSpot contacts, Gmail threads), identifies newly dormant entries, and queues up to five drafts. Each draft that passes brand review becomes an approval card in the channel and a row on the Sales page. If everything is current and no new dormancy is found, it replies with a brief confirmation.
You can also start a scan without Slack. On the Sales page, click Run a Scan Now. The button runs the same checks, then pulls any fresh drafts into the list below it so you can review them right away.
Ask What Is Queued
@Agenteous what's in the sales queue?
Sales Assistant summarises how many approval cards are pending and whether any drafts are waiting on brand review.
Request a Draft for a Specific Contact or Deal
@Agenteous draft a re-engagement email for [company name]
Sales Assistant looks up the contact or deal in HubSpot, checks Gmail for any recent thread, and generates a draft. It posts the approval card with the same format as a scheduled-scan card.
Redraft a Queued Email
If you want a different angle on a draft that is already in your queue:
@Agenteous redraft the email for [company name]
Sales Assistant generates a new version and updates the approval card. The original draft is replaced.
Approval Buttons
Each approval card Sales Assistant posts includes two buttons. The same buttons appear on the draft row on the Sales page.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Open in Gmail | Opens the draft in your Gmail account so you can read the full email, edit if needed, and click Send |
| Dismiss | Skips this prospect; no email is sent and the card is resolved |
There is no automatic send. Clicking Open in Gmail opens the draft for your review; you decide whether to send it from there.
If Brand Guard flagged the draft, the card and the row note the verdict before you open it. You can still open the draft, edit it to address the concern, and send.
The same drafts also appear in your Work Queue, the one list of everything waiting on you. From there you can open or dismiss a draft, and you can Snooze one to set it aside and bring it back later. Acting in any one place clears the item from the others, so you never handle the same draft twice.
