Layer
orchestration
This page is about Clientell. We're the orchestration layer the rest of this directory connects to. Pricing starts at $99/month.
intelligence
Gong is the call intelligence layer. Clientell is the operational layer that ships the validation rules, custom Opportunity fields, and forecast-discipline Flows that make Gong's data actually trustworthy in your CRM.
automation
Attention captures the call signal. Clientell operationalizes it: builds the validation rules that enforce the Opportunity fields Attention auto-fills, ships the reports the AEs use to track them.
intelligence
Fireflies captures the meeting. Clientell handles what comes next: validation rules that enforce the meeting outcomes are logged, follow-up Flows that trigger from meeting types, reports that surface meeting-to-pipeline conversion.

Fireflies.ai
API integration
Clientell runs as a Salesforce-native tool. Setup is faster, data stays inside your Salesforce environment, and there is no separate auth or data-residency conversation. Gong and Attention and Fireflies.ai integrate via API. That means a separate vendor environment, a separate auth flow, and a data-sync layer to monitor. The flexibility is real (multi-CRM, multi-tool) but so is the operational overhead.
