Trigger: Cal.com creates, reschedules or cancels a booking.

Decision: Choose which booking events and attendee fields DripTell needs.

Intended action: Verify the event and update the matching customer journey.

Name the source of truth for customer identity and business state

Carry out the next action with context attached

Verify the event and update the matching customer journey. DripTell should carry the source event, customer record, previous messages and ownership into the same operating view so the team can continue without reconstruction.

Use structured fields for decisions and the transcript for supporting context

Pause conflicting follow-up when the customer or a teammate replies

Keep external-system identifiers for updates, retries and reconciliation

}

Put the failure boundary in writing

Do not expose private booking metadata in customer messages. Define invalid data, restricted topics, duplicate events, timeouts and the point where a person must review the case.

Show the customer when a person has taken over

Make irreversible actions require stronger evidence or approval

Provide an observable recovery queue instead of silent failure
