MeetNotes now works with Notion. Connect it once, and every meeting you record becomes a page in your Notion: a short summary, the key points, the decisions, and every to-do as a Notion checkbox. Every to-do also goes into a To-dos table, and when you tick one off in Notion it is ticked off in MeetNotes too. Nobody has to copy the notes over.
Why Notion
Many people keep their whole work life in Notion: projects, clients, plans, wikis. But meeting notes usually start somewhere else, in a notebook, an app or someone's memory. They reach Notion only if somebody types them up, and most of the time nobody does.
Now they arrive on their own. You record the meeting, and the notes appear in Notion next to the rest of your work.
How to start (about two minutes)
- Open getmeetnotes.com/notion and tap Connect Notion. Sign in with your MeetNotes account, then tap Allow access when Notion asks. There is no page to pick.
- Find the new MeetNotes page. A private page called MeetNotes appears in your Notion sidebar, with two tables inside: Meetings and To-dos.
- Record a meeting as usual. In the room with the MeetNotes app on your phone, or by sending the notetaker to a Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call.
New to MeetNotes? Get the app first. Every account starts with free minutes.
What appears in Notion
Your MeetNotes page holds two tables.
Meetings. Each meeting is one row, with:
- Name: the meeting title
- Date: when the meeting happened
- Duration (minutes)
- Link: opens the full minutes in MeetNotes
Open a row and the page holds the minutes: the summary, Key points, Decisions, and To-dos as checkboxes.
To-dos. Every to-do from every meeting is one row, with:
- Task: what needs doing
- Done: a tick box
- Owner: who it is for, when a name was said
- Due: the due date, when there is one
- When: the words that were said, such as "Thursday"
- Meeting and Meeting date: where the to-do came from
- Link: opens the meeting in MeetNotes
Tick Done in this table and MeetNotes marks the to-do done too, within about five minutes. Tick it in the MeetNotes app and Notion shows it straight away.
Both appear when the minutes are ready, usually a few minutes after the meeting ends.
Ways people use it
- A meeting log for a project. Put the MeetNotes table inside your project page, and every meeting about that project sits next to its plans and docs.
- Client history. Sort the table by date before a client call to see what was agreed last time.
- Weekly review. Filter the Meetings table to this week and read back what was decided.
- A to-do board. Open the To-dos table, add a Board view and group it by Owner to see who has what, or by Done to drag finished work across. Each tick shows up in MeetNotes too.
- My to-dos. Filter the To-dos table to your name and sort by Due for one list of everything you promised, across every meeting.
- Share with the team. The MeetNotes page lives in your Notion, so you can share it, or move it into a team space, the way you do with any Notion page.
- Add columns. Add your own columns such as Client, Project or Status. Saving keeps working if you rename the columns in Meetings.
Privacy
MeetNotes only writes into its own MeetNotes page, and that page is private to you until you share it or move it. Personal Self notes are never sent to Notion. You can turn saving off or disconnect at any time, and pages already saved stay in your Notion.
Good to know
- Right after you connect, MeetNotes asks whether to send your past meetings too: All my meetings, Choose meetings (tick the ones you want), or Only new meetings. You can also send past meetings later from MeetNotes on the web. Up to 1,000 go at a time, newest first, and meetings already in Notion are not sent twice.
- Only the Done tick in the To-dos table comes back to MeetNotes. Changing the words of a to-do in Notion, or ticking the checkboxes on a meeting page, does not change MeetNotes.
- Use Slack too? MeetNotes works in Slack as well.
