The problem
Overdue work piles up until nobody knows what matters
Overdue tasks and calls pile up until the list is too long to act on. Without grouping them by the deal or case they relate to, it is hard to see which overdue work matters and which can simply be closed.
Without PopdockAI
- Filter overdue tasks and calls
- Open each to see what it relates to
- Guess which ones matter
- Nag about volume instead of priorities
With PopdockAI
- Open activities past due are read with task and call detail
- They are grouped by the record they relate to
- Work on big deals and urgent cases comes first
- Old items are suggested for closing or rescheduling, nothing is changed
The prompt

**Objective:** Find every open activity owned by `{owner}` (everyone if blank), of type `{activity-type}` (all if blank), whose due date has passed, and turn it into a clean-up list.
**Step 1: Pull overdue activities**
Call `dynamics-365-sales-get-activitypointers` with `activity-status` set to the open value, `due-date.to` = yesterday, and `owner` and `activity-type` if given. Set `max-records` to 200.
**Step 2: Fill in the detail**
For overdue tasks call `dynamics-365-sales-get-tasks` with the same owner, open status and `due-date.to`, to get `percent-complete` and `category`. For overdue calls call `dynamics-365-sales-get-phonecalls` with the same filters (`due.to`) to get the phone number and direction.
**Step 3: Group and weigh**
Group by `regarding`. For groups about an opportunity, call `dynamics-365-sales-get-opportunities` with `topic` = the regarding name to get the stage and est. revenue; for cases call `dynamics-365-sales-get-incidents` with `case-title` = the regarding name to get the priority. Overdue work on a high-revenue deal or a high-priority case comes first.
**Step 4: Report**
1. Counts: total overdue, by type, and by days overdue (1 to 7, 8 to 30, over 30).
2. A table grouped by regarding record, most important first: subject, type, due date, days overdue, priority, owner.
3. Activities with no regarding record, listed separately.
4. Activities over 30 days overdue, suggested for closing or rescheduling.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Do NOT call any create or update tool: `dynamics-365-sales-create-account`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-contact`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-lead`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-opportunity`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-case`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-task`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-note`, `dynamics-365-sales-create-phone-call`, `dynamics-365-sales-update-account`, `dynamics-365-sales-update-contact`, `dynamics-365-sales-update-lead`, `dynamics-365-sales-update-opportunity`, `dynamics-365-sales-update-case`.
* Status, stage, priority, rating and type filters take the values listed in each tool's input schema. Pick from that list; never guess a label.
* Suggest what to reschedule or close; do not change anything.
**Validation:**
* If nothing is overdue, say so and state the filters used.Who it's for
