Before we begin
This workflow helps go-to-market teams act on valuable partner overlap signals by notifying internal account owners when one of their existing customers becomes a customer of a partner.
Why is it so important to know when you and a partner share a customer?
You can frame your solution as complementary to your partner’s to strengthen your position and product usage. For example, Clay can be used with hundreds of integration partners, and we want our users to know that. With this workflow, we can notify customers the moment they start using a partner tool so sales and success teams can reach out with tailored messaging, recommended use cases, or even co-marketing offers.
How it works:
- Import overlapping customers from crossbeam
- Match to internal customers
- Identify internal account owner using CRM Lookup action
- Use AI to compose contextual notification message
- Use Slack to send the messages to account owners
