Meeting Recap Task Automator
Automatically turns meeting transcripts into concise summaries, extracts action items, creates Notion tasks, and emails a formatted team update.
The Meeting Recap Automator is a workflow designed to streamline how your team captures and follows up on meeting content. It takes a meeting transcript and produces a concise summary, identifies action items and tasks requiring follow-up, formats updates for communication channels, and creates actionable tasks in Notion, all while optionally sending a summary email to your team.
It does 6 things:
- Accepts a meeting transcript as input.
- Summarizes the main discussion points, decisions, and unresolved issues.
- Extracts action items with owners and deadlines along with items needing follow-up.
- Generates a well-formatted message suitable for email or messaging apps.
- Converts action items and follow-ups into structured task entries for Notion.
- Creates individual Notion pages for each task and sends an email with the meeting recap.
What you need
- Needle platform account with access to an AI model.
- Notion account connected via Needle's Notion connector with permissions to create pages.
- Gmail account linked for sending emails (optional).
- The meeting transcript text ready to input.
How the flow works

| Meeting Summary Generator | Uses an AI agent to create a concise summary highlighting what was discussed, decided, and still unresolved. |

| Message Composer | Combines the summary and action items into a tidy message formatted for quick sharing. |
| Notion Task Formatter | Transforms all tasks and follow-ups into structured objects containing title, assignee, due date, and descriptions. |

Output
At the end of this flow, you have a neat summary message ready to share, a Notion project populated with well-defined tasks to track progress, and optionally, an email sent to inform your team of outcomes and responsibilities from the meeting.
Notes

- Customize the email recipient list inside the Gmail node to match your team's contact info.
- The workflow assumes the transcript text is well-formatted and includes exact names to assign tasks properly.
