What this does
With Google Calendar connected, the extension lists your upcoming meetings and can research the person you are about to meet before the meeting exists in your head — then email you a battlecard about them.Calendar access is read-only. CallPrep never creates, edits, moves or
cancels anything in your calendar.
Connecting
Google Calendar is connected as part of signing in to the extension with Google — approve the calendar permission when Chrome asks for it. Your meetings then appear in the side panel. If the connection later expires, the panel says so and offers Reconnect with Google. Nothing is lost while it is disconnected, except the automatic research that would have run.Automatic research
Settings → auto research in the extension. Off, meetings are listed and you research whoever you like by hand. On, a new meeting is researched on its own.Exactly what gets researched
- One person per new meeting — the first external attendee who has not been researched yet. Not every attendee, and not the whole room
- You are never researched, and neither is anyone on an excluded domain
- A meeting whose attendees you have already researched is skipped
- One credit per automatic research, from the same monthly pool as everything else
The battlecard email
When a meeting-driven research finishes, CallPrep emails you a briefing. It is worth having in your inbox: it arrives while you are somewhere else, and it is readable on a phone two minutes before the call. It comes in three shapes, depending on what was actually found:That third one is deliberate. Silence would leave you wondering whether the
briefing was still coming; a note tells you there is nothing to wait for, while
there is still time to look them up yourself.
What is stored, and for how long
Disconnecting the calendar (Settings → auto research → Disconnect Google
Calendar) deletes the meetings CallPrep stored and stops any further reading of
your calendar. Research you already ran stays — it is yours, and it is not
calendar data.
Frequently asked questions
Which calendar does it read?
Which calendar does it read?
The primary calendar of the Google account you signed in with, read-only.
Meetings without an external attendee are ignored.
Does it research everyone in a five-person meeting?
Does it research everyone in a five-person meeting?
No — one person per meeting, the first external attendee who has not been
researched yet. Research the others by hand from the meeting card if you need
them.
How long before the meeting does it run?
How long before the meeting does it run?
It runs when the meeting appears in your calendar, not on a timer before it.
A meeting booked a week out is researched a week out; one booked an hour before
is researched then. That is also when the battlecard email is sent.
Does an AI see my calendar?
Does an AI see my calendar?
No. What reaches the AI is the prospect’s public professional data — name,
title, company, LinkedIn activity — plus your product description. Meeting
titles, descriptions and attendee lists are not sent to it.
Can I get battlecards without the extension?
Can I get battlecards without the extension?
Not today — the calendar connection lives in the extension. Any research started
from a meeting produces the email; researching by email address in the dashboard
or the API does not.
I disconnected the calendar. Are my meetings gone from CallPrep?
I disconnected the calendar. Are my meetings gone from CallPrep?
Yes, the stored meetings are deleted on disconnect, and they would have been
deleted after 30 days anyway. Your research history is untouched.
