Event radar

Instructions

Setup state. Not yet configured for this org. Load the Setup sub-page and walk the user through wiring the event-radar trigger (event-platform WEBHOOK, SCHEDULE + Apify scrape for public attendee lists, or the CRM's attendance workflow) with the right monitored event sources and follow-up sequence before running this play. (After setup is performed, rewrite this paragraph via swan-update-skill to describe the current state — trigger source(s) chosen, monitored events by class (owned / exhibited / industry / competitor), ICP filter, sequence wired, success metric, and last-refreshed date — so future runs see the current configuration without re-checking.)

When this fires

Most commonly WEBHOOK from an event platform (Goldcast, Hopin, Splash, Bizzabo, or a manually-uploaded attendee list), SCHEDULE + Apify (for public attendee lists of competitor / industry events that the user wants to scrape post-event), the CRM's workflow trigger (if attendance is stored in CRM — discover via swan-get-available-triggers), or WEBSITE_VISIT as a proxy for post-event landing-page visits.

The 48-72 hour window after an event is the highest-converting time to reach out.

Step 1 — Classify the event type

The play differs sharply by event class:

Event class	Attendee signal	Play
Your owned event (webinar, conference, dinner)	High — they chose you	Follow-up on the topic they came for
Industry conference where you exhibited	Medium-high — you met them	Reference the booth interaction
Conference attended only — no booth interaction	Medium — same industry, same time	Casual outreach citing the event
Competitor's event	Low-medium — in the market	Soft displacement angle, no aggression
Partner / adjacent vendor's event	Medium — same buyer pool	Joint-buyer angle

Step 2 — Pull attendee detail

The trigger payload should include name + email + company + (ideally) session attended or interactions logged. If only company-level data, treat it as a softer signal.

For events with rich data (which sessions they watched, which questions they asked, booth visits logged) — that's the personalization gold.

Step 3 — Qualify to ICP

swan-search-companies for the attendee's company. Filter out non-ICP. Conferences attract everyone; not everyone's worth chasing.

If list is > 30, switch to code:

Use swan-execute-code. Dump the attendee list to JSON. Batch swan-enrich-company calls via output/actions.json for any company not in Swan. In the next call, filter by ICP firmographics and print the top 20 by fit score.

Step 4 — CRM context per attendee

hubspot-search-objects (contacts, filter by email). Outcomes:

• Already in active sequence → flag for the rep, don't re-fire
• Customer → route to CSM as advocacy / expansion signal
• Open deal → route to deal owner; attendance is acceleration signal
• Net new → cold play with event as anchor

Step 5 — Match content to angle

For owned events, the topic of the session they attended IS the angle. Don't pivot.

For exhibited conferences, the booth interaction (what they asked, what they took, who they spoke to) IS the angle. Reps should be capturing this during the event — pull it from CRM notes or rep log.

For attended-only conferences (no booth), the angle is the shared experience: "We were both at [event] last week. The most surprising takeaway for us was [X]. Curious what stuck with you."

Step 6 — Draft the post-event message

Templates:

Webinar attendance:

"Hi [name] — thanks for joining [session title]. The question we got most after was [specific Q]. Curious how you're thinking about it at [company]. Would love to compare notes."

Booth visit (your conference exhibit):

"Hi [name] — good chatting at [event] about [specific topic from the convo]. As promised, here's [thing you said you'd send]. Would 20m next week be useful to dig in?"

Competitor's event:

"Hi [name] — saw [event] was last week. We weren't there, but the question we hear most from [persona] when [event topic] comes up is [your wedge]. Worth a quick chat?"

Attended-only, no interaction:

"[name] — fellow [event] attendee. [One-line insight from the event you'd share]. Curious if [related question for them]?"

Step 7 — Build the sequence

For unowned ICP-fit: hand off to reach-out or swan-build-sequence. 2-3 touches max; the event freshness fades quickly.

For owned: hubspot-create-task for the rep with the attendee record, session detail, and suggested message.

Step 8 — Bulk vs individual

For large events (100+ ICP-fit attendees), don't reach out individually one at a time. Bulk-personalize via code:

Use swan-execute-code. Read the attendee list. For each, write a swan-build-sequence action with the personalization hook (session attended, company context). Submit via output/actions.json in batches of ≤ 50.

Step 9 — Log

swan-update-company to tag the company with event attended + date. If a deal converts, tag the event as the source — over time, the org learns which events convert.

Rules

• MUST act within 72 hours of event end. After that the freshness is gone.
• MUST reference the event specifically. "Thanks for coming" is the laziest possible follow-up.
• MUST qualify to ICP before mass-reach-out. Events attract a huge non-ICP tail.
• NEVER fire competitor-event follow-ups with aggressive displacement. Soft angle only.
• NEVER pretend you spoke to someone at the booth if you didn't. Rep notes matter.
• If attendance data is anonymous (no email), don't fire individual outreach. Tag the account and watch for return signals.
• If a tool result is truncated, read the JSON from files/tool-outputs/<toolName>_<callId>.json in swan-execute-code.

Tighten over time

After 3-5 events, read recent reply-rate data via swan-search-sequences filtered to this play's executions (tag by event name). Identify which event classes (owned vs exhibited vs attended-only vs competitor) yielded best. Recommend the user drop event classes that didn't yield, raise the ICP-fit floor on attendee lists, or invest more in sessions that drove highest-converting follow-ups before the next event.
