What it does

Watches a Google Drive folder for new meeting recordings, transcribes the audio with OpenAI, extracts technical action items, and creates Linear issues with assignees, priority, and the relevant team. Works for any recording, not just Zoom cloud.

When to use it

For engineering standups, incident retros, and architecture reviews where the recording is uploaded manually rather than captured by Zoom cloud. Turns spoken commitments into trackable Linear work.

How it works

  1. 1A Google Drive new-file trigger fires when a recording is added to the watched folder.
  2. 2The flow downloads the file and sends the audio to OpenAI for transcription.
  3. 3A second OpenAI call extracts action items with owner, priority hint, and a one-line issue title.
  4. 4A logic step maps owner names to Linear users and infers the target team from keywords.
  5. 5Each action item becomes a Linear issue with assignee, priority, and team set.
  6. 6The created issue identifiers are returned as the output.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect Google DriveDocs, sheets, slides, files.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
