What it does

Meeting recaps are full of buried commitments — "Sam to send the proposal by Wednesday," "Finance to confirm budget next week." This workflow triggers when a recap or notes email arrives, extracts every action item with its owner and deadline, books calendar events for the ones you own, and writes all of them into a Notion follow-up table for the whole team to see.

When to use it

Use it when your commitments come out of meetings rather than ad-hoc email. Teams that send written recaps after calls and want those action items to automatically become dated, tracked work instead of getting lost in a thread nobody reopens.

How it works

  1. 1A recap or notes email arriving in Gmail triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI parses the recap into a structured list of action items, each with owner and due date.
  3. 3A branch splits items you own from items owned by others.
  4. 4Your items become Google Calendar deadline events.
  5. 5All items, including others', are written to a Notion follow-up table with owner, deadline, and status.
  6. 6The team gets one shared, dated view of every promise made in the meeting.
