Stage Logic

Clean Handoff From Booking to the Sales Owner

Wire the gap between 'a call was booked' and 'a named rep owns it', so every appointment lands on an owner's plate with full context instead of a calendar event nobody has claimed.

Problem

The operating gap

Bookings come in through a scheduler but don't reliably create or update an opportunity, and ownership of the booked call is fuzzy. Reps show up cold, double-book, or let appointments slip because the booking and the CRM record live in two disconnected places.

Build

What gets built

Tie the booking event to the opportunity: on book, move the deal to a 'Call Booked' stage, set or confirm the owner (matching the calendar host), and attach the appointment time, link, and intake notes to the record so the rep opens one screen and has everything.
