What Hebno reads
Reads are live. Hebno queries Copper when a request needs it. Only what a reply used is stored with the conversation as its sources. Copper also records Gmail threads and Google Calendar events on a record. Hebno reads those from your own Gmail and Google Calendar connections, not from Copper.
What Hebno writes
Every write appears first as a confirmation card. You can change any field before you select Confirm.
A Copper change pending confirmation. Nothing is written until you confirm.
Link a project to a company and an opportunity
Linking marks which Copper records belong to a project, so you can ask “how is the opportunity progressing?” without naming it.- Open the project and select Brain.
- Under Linked records, select Link record, then Copper.
- Search for the company and select it. Repeat to add the opportunities that belong to the engagement.
Use Copper in chat
-
Attach: open the + menu, choose Sources → Copper, and pick a company, person or opportunity. Or type
/and choose Copper. -
Ask: name the client, contact or opportunity in your request. For example:
Prep me for Thursday’s meeting with Contoso Retail: open opportunities, the people we have met and the last three activities.
Which opportunities in the Advisory pipeline have a close date in November 2026 and no activity in 21 days?
Move Contoso Phase 2 to Negotiation and create a task for Sarah Chen to send the revised fee proposal by 10 November.
- Research runs show a Reviewing Copper step, with a chip for each company, opportunity and activity it read.
- Agents can read Copper on a schedule, for example a Monday brief on opportunities closing this month. Writes an agent proposes appear in agent approvals for review.
