### When a meeting prep is available

Meeting prep is generated when **both** of these are true:

* The meeting is **upcoming or in progress**.
* **External participants** are invited (anyone with a different email domain).

> External meetings are marked with a **blue frame** in the Home View.

***

### How to generate a meeting prep

1. Open **Home View** in Zero.
2. Find any **upcoming external** meeting (look for the blue frame).
3. **Click the meeting** to generate its prep.

That’s it—the prep appears instantly.

### What the meeting prep includes

Zero compiles the prep from the following sources:

* **Past email history** with the participants.
  * If **none** of the participants are saved as contacts in Zero, the prep is based **only** on past emails.
* **Contact and company information** (when available).
  * If participants **are** saved as contacts in Zero, the prep may also include details like **title**, **location**, and **company** context.
* **Your custom instructions**.
  * You can provide additional guidance (e.g., goals, talking points, desired outcomes) to tailor the prep.

### Adding custom instructions for the meeting prep

You can add custom instructions for the meeting prep by clicking on the three dots in the Home View.

### FAQ

**Why don’t I see a meeting prep?**\
Most often, the meeting is internal (no external domains) or not upcoming/in progress. Check the blue frame indicator.

**Why is the prep missing contact details?**\
Those participants likely aren’t saved as contacts in Zero. Add them as contacts to pull in titles, locations, and company info next time.
