SUMMARIZATION

Zoom Recording to Action Items in Asana

When a Zoom cloud recording finishes, transcribes and summarizes the meeting, then creates an Asana task for every action item with an owner and due hint.

What it does

Turns finished Zoom meetings into tracked work. As soon as a cloud recording is ready, it grabs the transcript, summarizes the discussion, and isolates concrete action items. Each action item becomes its own Asana task with the assignee parsed from the conversation, so commitments made out loud actually land in the team's tracker.

When to use it

Use it for recurring meetings where decisions and follow-ups get made verbally and then forgotten. Ideal for standups, client calls, and planning sessions that already record to Zoom cloud.

How it works

  1. 1A Zoom recording-completed event triggers the flow.
  2. 2Retrieve the meeting transcript from Zoom.
  3. 3Summarize the call with OpenAI and extract a structured list of action items, each with a probable owner.
  4. 4Branch: if no action items were found, stop; otherwise continue.
  5. 5Create one Asana task per action item, assigning it to the matched owner.
  6. 6Post a short recap with task links back to the meeting host.
