1. The Problem: Why This Matters
Meetings are essential for collaboration, but capturing key insights, action items, and follow-ups can be challenging. Manually reviewing meeting recordings, taking notes, and assigning tasks is time-consuming and inefficient. Important decisions and follow-ups can be forgotten or lost in long transcripts. Businesses need a structured way to summarise meetings, track key points, and automate follow-ups.
Whilst platforms today like Zoom have great transcribers, you can take advantage of also using AI to automate the proceeding tasks too.
2. The Solution: How It Works
This workflow automates meeting summaries and follow-ups by:
- Retrieving Zoom meeting data from the last 24 hours.
- Extracting and processing meeting transcripts to capture key points.
- Generating an AI-powered meeting summary.
- Formatting the summary into an easy-to-read HTML email.
- Sending the summary via email to meeting participants.
- Creating tasks and scheduling follow-up calls in ClickUp, Outlook, or other platforms.
3. Key Benefits
- Automates meeting summarisation, reducing manual note-taking.
- Ensures action items and follow-ups are tracked.
- Saves time by delivering structured summaries directly to participants.
- Improves collaboration by integrating with project management tools.
- Customisable to work with various email, calendar, and task management systems.
4. Workflow in Action
- A manual or scheduled trigger initiates the workflow.
- Zoom API retrieves recent meeting data.
- The workflow filters meetings from the last 24 hours.
- Zoom transcripts are extracted and processed.
- OpenAI generates a structured meeting summary.
- The summary is formatted into HTML for email delivery.
- AI analyses the meeting for tasks and follow-ups.
- Tasks are created in ClickUp, Outlook, or other project management tools.
- Follow-up calls are scheduled if needed.
5. Example Use Case: Real-World Scenario
A project manager runs weekly team meetings to track progress and assign tasks. Instead of manually reviewing recordings and taking notes, they use this workflow to:
- Automatically summarise key discussion points and action items.
- Send a structured summary to all participants via email.
- Create ClickUp tasks based on discussed follow-ups.
- Schedule necessary follow-up meetings in Outlook.
With this automation, the team stays aligned, and action items are never missed, improving efficiency and accountability.
