FAQ

Questions about the SDR to AE handoff

  • It is the moment a sales development rep (SDR) passes a qualified lead to an account executive (AE), usually by booking the AE's first meeting with the lead. In Default, the SDR books it from the Chrome extension and a routing workflow picks the AE.

  • An admin adds the Extension trigger to a workflow, often the same one inbound leads run through. When the SDR clicks Book a meeting with, that workflow routes the lead by owner, territory, queue, or round robin, then shows the AE's open times.

  • Yes. The meeting records the SDR as its booker, so it shows under Booked by Me, and a workflow can write the booker to a field in your CRM.

  • Yes. Copy a Booking Link runs the same routing and copies a link the prospect can use to pick a time, for up to 24 hours. A meeting booked from the link doesn't record the SDR as its booker.

  • The Chrome extension detects the lead in Gmail, on Salesforce Lead and Contact pages, and on HubSpot contacts. On any other tab, the SDR types the lead's email.

  • No. The Chrome extension is included in the Scheduling and Routing + Scheduling seats, and access follows your workspace permissions. Seat prices are on the pricing page.

  • Reps install it and sign in by following the Chrome extension docs. An admin adds the Extension trigger to a workflow before the first handoff.
