Match meeting participants to Nutshell contacts
For sales operations teams who ask their AI assistant to check a Granola meeting's people against Nutshell.

Connector
Connect Granola, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Common names return the wrong Nutshell contact
Checking whether meeting participants exist in Nutshell means searching for each name. Common names return several people, and unknown contacts go unnoticed, so the CRM drifts from who you actually met.
Without PopdockAI
- List the meeting's attendees and invitees
- Search Nutshell for each name
- Pick between several people with the same name
- Miss the people who are not there
With PopdockAI
- Each person is marked attended, invited only or both
- Matches are confirmed by comparing emails
- Name-only and ambiguous matches are flagged, not picked
- Your own team is left out unless you ask, and nothing is changed

**Objective:** For the Granola meeting `{note-title}`, check every attendee and invitee against Nutshell and report who is a known contact, who is not, and who was invited but did not attend. Leave out people on the owner's own email domain unless `{include-internal}` is yes (default no).
**Step 1: Find the meeting**
Call `granola-get-note` with `title.contains` set to `{note-title}`. If several match, list them and stop. If none, stop.
**Step 2: List attendees and invitees**
Call `granola-get-attendee` and `granola-get-invitee` with `note-id` set to the note `id`. Keep `name` and `email`. Mark each person as attended, invited only, or both.
**Step 3: Match each person**
For each person, call `nutshell-get-contact` with `name.contains` set to the person's `name` (if `name` is empty, use the part of `email` before the @). Keep a contact only if one of its `emails` equals the Granola `email` (ignore case); if none of the returned contacts carries that email but exactly one has the same full name, keep it and mark it "matched by name only". If several remain, list them and do not pick one. If there is no match, mark the person "not in Nutshell" and continue.
**Step 4: Report**
Output a table: name, email, status (attended, invited only), Nutshell result (matched, matched by name only, ambiguous, not in Nutshell), Nutshell contact `id`, company-id and the nutshell-link field. End with counts of each result.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Granola tools (`granola-*`) read meetings; Nutshell tools (`nutshell-*`) read the CRM. Both servers must be connected.
* This is read-only. Never call `nutshell-delete-person`, `nutshell-delete-company`, `nutshell-delete-lead`, `nutshell-add-company`, `nutshell-add-person`, `nutshell-add-activity`, `nutshell-add-lead`, `nutshell-update-person`, `nutshell-update-lead`, `nutshell-update-company`.
* Meeting notes and transcripts are private to their owners and attendees. Only report content the tools returned for the signed-in user, and do not quote transcript text beyond what the report needs.
* Nutshell has no email filter on contacts: match on `name.contains`, then confirm by comparing the contact `emails` with the Granola `email`.
**Validation:**
* If the meeting has no people, say so and stop.Who it's for
