Interview Scheduling

Find the right users, check your calendar, draft personalised outreach — without lifting a finger.

You want to talk to real users, but finding them, cross-referencing your calendar, and writing individual emails takes hours. This skill pulls the most active users from Amplitude, finds your open slots, and drafts a personalised email for each one — ready for your review before anything goes out.

Prompt Template

/schedule You are helping me schedule user research interviews. Work through these steps:

### Step 1 — Find top users in Amplitude
Go to Amplitude and identify the top {{N}} most active users from the past {{TIME_PERIOD}}.
For each user, note:
- Number of sessions
- Most-used features
- Any recent spikes or drop-offs in activity
- How long they've been a customer

### Step 2 — Check my Google Calendar availability
Look at my Google Calendar for the next {{CALENDAR_WINDOW}}. Find open 45-minute slots during
{{PREFERRED_HOURS}}, avoiding existing events and leaving at least 15 minutes of buffer between
meetings. Identify {{SLOT_COUNT}} good candidate slots.

### Step 3 — Draft individual emails in Gmail — do not send
For each user, create a personalised Gmail draft. Each draft should:

Subject: "Quick chat? We'd love your feedback on {{PRODUCT_NAME}}"

Opening: A personalised 1–2 sentence observation based on their Amplitude data — e.g. "We noticed
you've been using {{FEATURE_NAME}} heavily over the past few weeks." Keep it genuine and specific,
not flattering.

Body: Briefly explain the purpose — a short research interview to understand what's working and
where {{PRODUCT_NAME}} can improve for users like them.

Scheduling:
- If Calendly is available: lead with it — "Feel free to grab a time: {{CALENDLY_LINK}}"
- If no Calendly: offer the {{SLOT_COUNT}} available time slots (day, date, time + timezone) and
  include a meeting link: {{MEETING_LINK}}

Sign off as: {{SENDER_NAME}}

### Rules
- Do NOT send any email. Save everything as drafts.
- Do not fabricate user data — only use what Amplitude returns.
- If a user has no email in Amplitude, note them separately and skip the draft.

Tips

• Always review drafts before sending — personalisation is only as good as Amplitude's data.
• If recruiting for a specific feature, filter Amplitude by that feature's event to find power users.
• Pair with craft-discovery-synthesis to process the resulting interviews.
• For B2B products, consider filtering by company ARR or plan tier using Amplitude cohorts before running the skill.
