How much time will the new activity dialog save my sales team?

Based on industry data, automated activity logging saves sales teams 2+ hours daily. With Nutshell's unified dialog eliminating screen-switching and manual data entry, teams typically save 30-45 minutes per rep daily—that's 2.5-3.75 hours weekly for more selling time.

Does the AI transcription feature work with all meeting platforms, or just Zoom and Google Meet?

Currently, AI transcription and summarization work with Zoom and Google Meet. Microsoft Teams integration is coming soon. For other platforms, you can still manually log activities and add notes, though automatic transcription won't be available yet.

Can I customize which tabs appear in the activity dialog for my team?

The activity dialog comes with standard tabs (Internal Notes, Calendar, Transcript, Recordings, Comments) that aren't customizable. However, you can train your team to use specific tabs for your workflow, and all tabs are accessible from both desktop and mobile interfaces.

How does the mobile activity dialog work offline?

While Nutshell's mobile app requires internet connectivity for full functionality, you can still view previously synced data offline. Any activities or notes created offline will sync automatically once you reconnect, ensuring field reps never lose important information.

What's the difference between logging an activity and scheduling one in the new dialog?

Scheduling creates future activities (like upcoming calls or meetings) that appear in your calendar and activity list. Logging records completed activities with notes, outcomes, and transcripts. Both use the same streamlined dialog, but logging captures what happened while scheduling plans what will happen.
