MEETING NOTES · Workflow idea

Stay present in the conversation and review the notes afterward.

With the meeting host’s approval and participant awareness, capture spoken discussion and prepare searchable notes or possible follow-ups. Keep the recording context and transcript available so attendees can verify names, decisions, and action items before the notes are stored for wider use or shared.

The handoff

A meeting transcript and draft notes linked to the meeting context, awaiting attendee verification before sharing or action.

Keep in mind

Meeting audio and transcripts can include confidential or personal information, and transcription may mishear speakers or commitments. Obtain required consent before joining or recording, restrict access, and let attendees correct the notes. A person must approve any task assignment, message, or other action based on the discussion.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define eligible meetings and consent

Choose which meeting types may be captured and establish how the host and participants are informed and give permission.

Set transcript access and retention

Select a restricted location, name approved readers, and decide how long recordings, transcripts, and notes are kept.

Assign note and action reviewers

Identify who confirms the transcript, approves its audience, and authorizes any follow-up derived from the discussion.

Test consent, corrections, and sensitive topics

Review a routine meeting and a sensitive or disputed conversation to confirm capture and sharing pause when approval is unclear.
