Drops: Save the Prompts You Use on Every Call

Turn a prompt you use often into a drop, pick when it shows up, and run it from the Ask bar before, during or after a call. Share drops with your team, or add one a teammate made.

A drop is a prompt you save once and run with one click. Each drop has a short name, like /follow-up, and shows up in the Ask bar at the moment you made it for: before a call, during a call, or after a call.

The Drops page with Drops selected in the sidebar, the Yours and From your team tabs, a New drop button, and drop cards such as /follow-up After the call, /pricing During the call and /who-else Before the call, each with an Edit button
