1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Actioning your meeting next steps using transcripts and AI

This n8n workflow demonstrates how you can summarise and automate post-meeting actions from video transcripts fed into an AI Agent.

Save time between meetings by allowing AI handle the chores of organising follow-up meetings and invites.

How it works

  • This workflow scans for the calendar for client or team meetings which were held online. * Attempts will be made to fetch any recorded transcripts which are then sent to the AI agent.
  • The AI agent summarises and identifies if any follow-on meetings are required.
  • If found, the Agent will use its Calendar Tool to to create the event for the time, date and place for the next meeting as well as add known attendees.

Requirements

  • Google Calendar and the ability to fetch Meeting Transcripts (There is a special OAuth permission for this action!)
  • OpenAI account for access to the LLM.

Customising the workflow

This example only books follow-on meetings but could be extended to generate reports or send emails.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2328/2328.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
