Use ZoomInfo with an AI Browser for Meeting Prep

If you use ZoomInfo and you regularly need to prepare for a meeting, the bottleneck is usually the same: ZoomInfo holds part of the context, but meeting prep also needs signals that live outside it - on the public web, in LinkedIn, in news, in other connected apps. Strawberry is built to combine the ZoomInfo context with the rest of the browser, and run the full workflow as a companion you can re-trigger every week.

This page describes specifically how Strawberry handles meeting prep when ZoomInfo is one of the inputs. It names the ZoomInfo surfaces involved, the signals the workflow actually needs, an example prompt you can paste, and what a good output looks like.

The job a AE, founder, CSM, or anyone with a calendar full of calls is trying to do

The goal of meeting prep is to produce a one-page brief for each upcoming meeting so the person walks in informed and time isn't wasted. The success metric is concrete: subjective - the meeting feels productive; objective - notes/next-step ratio is high. That definition matters because it shapes what ZoomInfo needs to contribute to the workflow.

What signals meeting prep actually needs

For each signal below, here is whether ZoomInfo can contribute directly or whether Strawberry has to find it via the browser:

• Attendee LinkedIn snapshots (role, tenure, mutuals) - ZoomInfo stores or surfaces this directly. Strawberry reads it through the connected integration.
• Company recent news (funding, hires, product) - ZoomInfo stores or surfaces this directly. Strawberry reads it through the connected integration.
• Last touchpoint in the CRM - ZoomInfo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
• Any open opportunities or support cases - ZoomInfo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
• Agenda or context from the calendar event description - ZoomInfo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.

What Strawberry can do inside ZoomInfo

Strawberry can run ZoomInfo searches by company size + intent topic, pull org charts to find decision makers, and combine with public web research for account-based outreach.

ZoomInfo surfaces Strawberry uses for this workflow: contacts, companies, intent topics, Scoops, org charts.

How Strawberry runs meeting prep with ZoomInfo

1. Strawberry opens the ZoomInfo contacts that contains the relevant context.
2. The companion pulls related context from ZoomInfo (companies, history, attached files) where it exists.
3. For the parts ZoomInfo does not store, Strawberry uses the browser - web search, LinkedIn, news, the prospect's website.
4. Strawberry synthesises the output in the shape this workflow needs: A 250-400 word brief.
5. A human reviews before any external action (send, update, post). Then the approved output is saved back to ZoomInfo or your system of record.

Example Strawberry prompt

Paste this in a new Strawberry chat with ZoomInfo connected. Adjust the specifics to your actual ICP, role, or topic.

Read this ZoomInfo contacts and any linked context.
Then run a full meeting prep workflow on it. Use the browser to fill any gaps not in ZoomInfo.
Return the output in the shape we use for meeting prep: A 250-400 word brief: attendees, company snapshot, last touch, suggested agenda, 3 questions to ask.
Do not send anything externally. Save the draft to me to review.

What a good meeting prep output looks like

Here is what a finished output for meeting prep should look like in practice. The specifics will change for your use case, but the shape should look similar:

• Meeting: 14:00 Thursday with Anna Lindqvist (VP Marketing, Voi) and Erik Nilsson (Head of Growth)
• Last touch: warm intro from Marcus on May 14, no reply since
• Company news: Germany pullout announced May 28; hired 4 paid acquisition managers in Q1
• Suggested agenda: 1) Their take on Germany decision, 2) Where retention sits in 2026 priorities, 3) Show 90-sec demo of win-back loop
• Three questions: How is the team structured post-pullout? What's the budget cycle? Who owns retention KPIs?

Why ZoomInfo for this, and where to use a different tool

ZoomInfo is strong for this workflow because Strawberry can run ZoomInfo searches by company size + intent topic, pull org charts to find decision makers, and combine with public web research for account-based outreach.

Where ZoomInfo falls short ZoomInfo Intent topics must match exact strings - use lookup('intent-topics') first; rate limits hit at 5+ parallel calls.

Consider also a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) once the prospect enters pipeline.

Common mistakes when running meeting prep

• Generic bios instead of role-specific context
• Missing the most recent news that the prospect would expect you to know
• No link back to the prior conversation thread

Connecting ZoomInfo to Strawberry

ZoomInfo MCP OAuth - sandbox active; production pending InfoSec review. Once connected, the companion can read the surfaces above without re-authenticating, and any write action still requires explicit human approval the first time the workflow runs.

Caveats

Do not let any AI agent send emails, update CRM records, or change shared systems without a clear approval step. Strawberry is strongest when the workflow combines browser context with connected-app context and a human review for sensitive actions.
