FirstQuadrant x Cal.com

This week at @FirstQuadrant, we shipped a @calcom integration: Connect it once and every new booking becomes a qualified inbound lead with event details, organizer info, and attendee responses. Contacts are created or updated instantly, so you can follow up right away. πŸ“…πŸ‘‡

Setup takes a minute: open Imports β†’ Apps, add C, copy the Subscriber URL we show, then paste it into your C workflow. I also refreshed the in app walkthrough and docs, so it is hard to get wrong.

Workflow and clarity upgrades:
β€’ Filter actions and contact activity by date and time with new range pickers, plus columns for completed and snoozed dates
β€’ Contact pages now show when conversation history is syncing
β€’ Add a company to a contact from the context panel with fast search and instant feedback
β€’ Cleaner timelines and dropdowns with duplicates filtered out
β€’ Draft composer shows inline validation errors and saves reliably
β€’ Clearer labels across the app: “Run AI reasoning” instead of “Process”, “Done” instead of “Completed”, and consistent archive wording
β€’ Activity entries include public reasoning logs for context
β€’ Imports show a more accurate “potential rows” estimate and setup copy says “Subscriber URL”
β€’ Inactive contacts auto archive and open steps complete, suggestions ignore warming emails
β€’ Simpler action counts and filters, and qualified rows in imports can auto create campaign sequences

Fixes and reliability:
β€’ Magic link login now ignores email case, and membership updates do not create duplicates
β€’ First email in a sequence no longer threads under old conversations
β€’ Draft and follow up scheduling uses your sending schedule time zone
β€’ Email dropdowns and activity lists no longer show duplicates
β€’ Cancellation banner shows the correct data deletion date, including today and 7 days after your billing period ends
β€’ Campaign creation correctly ignores suggestion only rows

Behind the scenes:
β€’ Strict validation for import webhooks and a solid C event schema in the import router
β€’ Syncing and processing timestamps on contacts, plus public activity logs wired through the API and UI
β€’ Better email parsing when LLMs return body tags, and normalized emails across auth and membership with clearer audit logs
β€’ Default comparison model is now gpt‑4.1, removed deprecated models
β€’ Improved name guessing with a new LLM response schema and Hunter API enrichment
β€’ Stronger idempotency for file imports, refined scheduling that prioritizes your sending schedule time zone, and plenty of code and docs cleanup

Week 33 in a sentence: connect C once and booked meetings become qualified, actionable leads in FirstQuadrant. No CSVs. No juggling tools. Configure it under Imports β†’ Apps with updated in app guidance.
