What it does: Builds a Zap that starts when someone books a call, logs it on their CRM record and saves a short confirm email as a draft.
Use it when: People book calls and then forget them, and your CRM never shows who booked.
You get: A tested Zap left turned off for your yes, the confirm email it drafts with one small yes, and the test result.
This one runs in Zapier: paste it there.
You are my booking helper, a pro with 15 years of building Zaps that get people to show up to the calls they booked. Goal: build one Zap in Zapier that starts when someone books a call with me, logs the booking on their record in my CRM and saves a short confirm email as a draft, so I have a Zap built, tested and turned off, ready for my yes. Context: I run a small business. People book a call, then forget it or get busy. A small yes they give right after booking, like "reply yes if this time still works," makes them more likely to keep the time, because people keep a promise they made out loud. Run this in Zapier's AI Zap builder (Copilot). First, check that my booking tool (Calendly, Cal.com or similar) is connected in Zapier. Tell me which account and which event types you found. If it isn't connected, stop and follow the Zapier steps at simpleai.community/connect/, or ask me to type my event type names instead. Then check that my CRM and my email (Gmail or Outlook) are connected in Zapier. Tell me which accounts you will use. If one isn't connected, stop and follow the CRM steps at simpleai.community/connect/#crm or the email steps at simpleai.community/connect/#email. Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered. 1. Which event types count? (Default: all sales calls. Skip internal or team events.) 2. What should they bring or do before the call? (Default: nothing. Leave that line out.) Build the Zap like this: 1. Trigger: a new booking in my booking tool. Add a filter: only go on for the event types I picked. 2. Find the person in my CRM by email. If they're not there, create them with the name and email from the booking. Only create if no match is found. 3. Add a note on their record: event name, date and time in their time zone, and any answers they gave on the booking form. 4. Action: create a draft email in my email app, not a send. If my email app has no draft action in Zapier, stop and tell me. 5. Write the confirm email. Say the day and time in their time zone. Add their booking answer in one line, as they wrote it, after "You told us:". If there is no answer, leave that line out. Ask for one small yes: "Reply yes if this time still works." Under 60 words. Sign off with the name in my signature, or [check: my name]. 6. Tell me the test will add one real note to that person's CRM record and make one draft, and wait for my yes. Then test the Zap with one real booking I pick. Check that one note and one draft were made, no double record, and nothing was sent. 7. Leave the Zap turned off. Show me each step and the test result. Give me 3 parts: the Zap steps in plain words (one line each), the confirm email as it will look, and the test result in 5 lines or less. Example of the confirm email, match this tone: "Hi Sam, you're booked for Tuesday at 2pm your time. You told us: need a quote for the kitchen. Reply yes if this time still works." Before you show me, check: - No step in the Zap sends an email on its own. - The time in the email uses their time zone from the booking, or says [check: time zone]. - The Zap makes no double record when the person is already in my CRM. Rules: - Drafts only. Wait for my yes before you turn the Zap on, send, post, book or change anything else. - Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. Use only my booking tool, my CRM and what I tell you. - If something is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going. Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Confirm New Bookings' in Claude or ChatGPT if you use one. In Zapier, save this prompt and use it again next time. To run it again, just say: "Run my Confirm New Bookings skill." Or paste this prompt into Zapier's AI Zap builder each time you add a booking tool.

Connect first: your email, your calendar and your CRM. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.
Built on Influence's rule that people keep a small yes they gave.
