Calendly for LinkedIn

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

If LinkedIn is central to your lead strategy, make sure to take advantage of Calendly’s new LinkedIn integration.

You can now add a direct booking link to your LinkedIn profile or messages to eliminate the back-and-forth of scheduling meetings with prospects and clients.

Add your Calendly scheduling link to your LinkedIn profile as a custom button or text link. Plus, share your scheduling link(s) from LinkedIn Messaging, including LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales Navigator toolbars

That means more booked meetings, fewer missed opportunities, and less resistance on the path to converting leads.

Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

FYI: Adobe announced its new Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator, which powers customizable AI agents that can help you streamline repetitive tasks, surface meaningful insights, and automate complex workflows.

The Site Optimization Agent optimizes web speed and site engagement; the Content Production Agent scales your content creation, the Audience Agent gives managers the capacity to support more campaigns; and the Data Insights Agent expands reporting capabilities across your org.

The name doesn’t really roll off the tongue, but we can’t have it all.

Aha

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

Aha is an AI agent squad—the first of its kind—built to handle influencer campaigns end-to-end.

The robot all-star team includes Blake, the creative lead; Jordan, the outreach specialist who handles influencer partnerships; and Jessica, the data analyst who works to max your ROI.

And because they’re robots, they launch fast, run 24/7, and adjust and optimize in real time with reduced overhead.

So, if you’re an early adopter looking to scale and automate your influencer campaigns, this is one is worth a closer look.

Free Notion Templates

We unabashedly love a good Notion template here at TDC.

If you’re a marketer looking to simplify your workflow, these Notion templates are free and worth checking out.

They’re straightforward, easy to set up, and designed to help you get organized quickly without overcomplicating things.

Whether you need to plan content, manage projects, track leads, or keep tabs on your subscriptions, there’s a template for it. Solid resource.

Riverside

Here’s a tool we’re seriously loving right now for producing The Daily Carnage Show.

Riverside is an all-in-one platform for recording studio-quality video and audio for your podcasts, video interviews, webinars, social media clips, etc.

You can record separate tracks locally in up to 4K for crisp quality. And with text-based editing and AI-generated show notes and captions, the post-production is quick and easy for the many-hatted-marketer.

You can even use the “Magic Clips” feature to repurpose content into bite-sized social videos or searchable transcripts to maximize your reach.

No steep learning curve, no juggling multiple apps, and no A/V engineering. Highly recommend. 😅

Salesforce for Gemini Extension in Gmail

Google has announced a Salesforce for Gemini extension in Gmail.

So, now you can access Salesforce data and create leads or contacts directly from Gmail, eliminating the need to switch between platforms.

Just ask Gemini for tasks like “Create a lead in Salesforce” or “Show me the [Name] account.”

Gemini can also research leads’ companies, generate sales briefs, and summarize emails.

The tool is now live if you use Google Workspace Business Standard, Plus, Enterprise, or Gemini add-ons.

LinkedIn Preview

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

LinkedIn Preview is a free, open-source platform that allows you to format, style, and preview your LinkedIn posts before publishing, so they look polished on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.

Easily add bold, italics, strikethrough, and lists. See exactly how your post will appear across different devices, and optimize readability with structured formatting to drive better reach.

We especially appreciate the truncation preview, so you can avoid your hook getting cut off by LinkedIn’s “see more” text.
