Client Meeting Notes → AI Extraction using n8n, OpenAI & Google Sheets

This workflow automatically processes meeting notes stored in Google Sheets, extracts key insights like action items, follow-ups and risks using AI and stores the results in an output sheet. It also sends a summary email and marks records as processed to avoid duplication.

Quick Start Guide

  1. Login to your n8n account
  2. Connect Google Sheets (input + output)
  3. Add OpenAI or Groq credentials
  4. Ensure "Processed" column exists
  5. Configure email node
  6. Run workflow

What It Does

This workflow automates the entire lifecycle of meeting note processing. It fetches raw notes from Google Sheets, filters only unprocessed entries and prepares them for AI analysis.

Using an AI model, it extracts structured insights such as action items, follow-ups and risks. These insights are then formatted into readable text and stored in a separate output sheet.

Finally, the workflow updates the original record as processed and sends a summary email, ensuring efficient communication and eliminating manual effort.

Who It's For

  • Project Managers
  • Business Analysts
  • Operations Teams
  • Startup Founders
  • Anyone handling frequent meetings

Requirements

  • n8n account
  • Google Sheets account
  • OpenAI or Groq API key
  • Gmail account (for email notifications)

How It Works & Setup Guide

Step 1: Trigger

Manual trigger starts the workflow.

Step 2: Fetch Data

Google Sheets node retrieves meeting notes.

Step 3: Filter Records

IF node checks if "Processed" field is empty.

Step 4: Prepare Data

Set node formats notes into raw_notes.

Step 5: AI Extraction

AI Agent extracts:

  • Action Items
  • Follow-ups
  • Risks

Step 6: Format Output

Code node converts JSON into readable text.

Step 7: Mark Processed

Updates original sheet with "Yes".

Step 8: Store Results

Appends extracted data into output sheet.

Step 9: Send Email

Gmail node sends summary email.

Customize Nodes

  • Modify AI prompt to extract more fields
  • Change email format/content
  • Add additional fields in output sheet
  • Adjust filtering logic

Add-ons

  • Slack/Teams notifications
  • Auto-trigger using webhook
  • Dashboard integration
  • Priority tagging

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15340/15340.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.
