# Playbooks

> Reusable sales motions — define once, run every week

A **Playbook** is a reusable sales motion captured as an executable workflow. Define it once — pre-call prep, QBR generation, weekly pipeline review, signal-to-touch — and run it as a one-click action, a schedule, or an automatic response to a signal.

Playbooks are how institutional sales knowledge compounds into the agent layer.

## How they fit the four pillars

| Pillar             | What playbooks do                                                                     |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Discover**       | Auto-route new [Signal Agent](/product/signals) leads → personalized 2-touch sequence |
| **Research**       | Pre-call briefs, account QBRs, competitive battlecards                                |
| **Prepare**        | Pull buying-committee context, draft talking points                                   |
| **Close & manage** | Weekly pipeline review, renewal risk scan, inbox routing                              |

## Four ways to create

### 1. Agent Builder (recommended)

In [New Task](/product/new-task), click **Prompt to build** in the right panel. Describe the goal in one sentence:

```
Run every Monday at 8 AM. For every open opportunity, pull the latest
inbox activity, the buyer's recent LinkedIn posts, and any changes to
their company page. Email me a one-page digest ranked by closest close date.
```

Komo wires up the steps, tools, and schedule. You review before saving.

### 2. Playbook Editor

Notion-like editor where you write the workflow in markdown:

```markdown theme={null}
## Goal
Pre-call brief for tomorrow's external meetings.

## Integrations
- Google Calendar
- CRM (Accounts, Contacts, Inbox)
- LinkedIn

## Steps
1. Pull tomorrow's calendar events
2. Match each external attendee to a CRM account
3. Research each attendee: last 3 LinkedIn posts, last 5 inbox threads, recent funding/hiring news
4. Draft a one-page brief: who they are, what's been discussed, opener, expected objections
5. Email me by 8 AM tomorrow
```

Tools and integrations auto-suggest. Visual preview as you write.

### 3. Import existing SOPs (Enterprise)

Upload Notion / Confluence / Google Docs / Word files from **Settings → Playbooks → Import**. Komo extracts the steps and proposes a draft.

### 4. Record your process

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/komo/foX02MJUNL3rUzjn/images/CleanShot2026-01-06at13.58.37@2x.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=foX02MJUNL3rUzjn&q=85&s=dc5b1c07bb612adbd8421d965430be10" alt="Record your playbook" width="1952" height="778" data-path="images/CleanShot2026-01-06at13.58.37@2x.png" />

Click **Record** and walk through the motion on your screen, narrating the *why*. Komo watches and generates the playbook. Useful for nuanced motions that resist being typed out.

## Sales-specific examples

### Pre-call brief

```
Trigger: Any calendar event in next 24h with an external attendee.
Steps:
  1. Match attendee's company to a CRM account
  2. Pull standard fields + last 5 inbox threads + campaign activity
  3. Research attendee on LinkedIn (last 3 posts, role changes)
  4. Draft one-page brief: who, what's been discussed, opener, objections
  5. Email me 12h before the meeting
```

### Account QBR

```
Trigger: Manual or scheduled (e.g. monthly per account).
Steps:
  1. Pull renewal date, contract value, product usage
  2. Pull last 90 days of inbox + campaign activity
  3. Identify wins, blockers, risk signals from inbox tone
  4. Generate one-page QBR: exec summary, health, wins, risks, next steps
  5. Email me Friday morning + post to account timeline
```

### Weekly pipeline review

```
Trigger: Every Monday 8 AM.
Steps:
  1. Pull every open opportunity
  2. Score each on fit, timing, connection
  3. Surface top 10 (push) and bottom 10 (disqualify/re-engage)
  4. Send digest
```

### Signal-to-touch

```
Trigger: New lead from a Signal Agent.
Steps:
  1. Read signal context (which post, which engagement, why matched)
  2. Pull buyer's last 3 LinkedIn posts
  3. Draft 2-touch sequence (LinkedIn DM + email) referencing the signal
  4. Queue in the matching campaign
  5. Notify me only if fit score is unusually high
```

### Renewal risk scan

```
Trigger: Every Monday for accounts renewing in next 90 days.
Steps:
  1. Pull last 60 days of inbox activity per account
  2. Classify reply tone (positive, neutral, negative, silent)
  3. Cross-reference with product usage trend
  4. Flag declined tone or dropped usage
  5. Email watchlist with renewal date, decline signal, suggested action
```

### Competitive battlecard refresh

```
Trigger: Every 2 weeks.
Steps:
  1. Pull competitors from CRM
  2. Scrape recent pricing, feature, positioning updates
  3. Diff against last saved battlecard
  4. Update with "What's changed" summary
  5. Notify #enablement on Slack with the diff
```

## Running a playbook

Four invocation paths:

* **One-click** from [New Task](/product/new-task) template showcase
* **Schedule** — cron (see [Schedules & Triggers](/product/schedules-triggers))
* **Trigger** — external event
* **Inbox routing rule** — see [Inbox routing](/product/inbox#routing-rules)

## Writing better playbooks

**Be specific about inputs and outputs.**

* ✅ "When email subject contains 'compliance check' followed by company name"
* ❌ "When someone needs a compliance check"

**Define clear success criteria.**

* ✅ "Pass if no regulatory violations in 24 months AND financial ratios within ranges"
* ❌ "Check if account is compliant"

**Specify exception handling.**

* ✅ "If renewal date is missing, flag for manual review and notify me"
* ❌ "Handle missing data appropriately"

**Map to specific tools.**

* ✅ "Create a Linear issue, assign to @sales-ops, set priority based on deal size"
* ❌ "Notify the relevant team"

## FAQ

**Can playbooks call other playbooks?** Enterprise feature — contact sales.

**What if a step fails?** Built-in retry + fallback. Failed runs preserved in History for inspection.

**Can I version playbooks?** Yes. Every save creates a new version; roll back from the menu.

**How do I update one?** Edit in the editor, or describe the change in natural language ("add a step: notify CFO if deal > \$50k"). Goes live on next run.

**Can playbooks read sensitive CRM data?** Yes, scoped to your account's permissions.
