1.1 Workflow description

Title
Summarize meeting recordings and create Notion action items with Gemini AI
Workflow name
Summarize meeting recordings and create Notion action items with Gemini AI

Who is this for

Team leads, project managers, and operations staff who want to automate meeting documentation. Useful for any team that records meetings and needs structured notes with clear action items.

What this workflow does

This workflow accepts a meeting recording upload via a web form. The recording is uploaded to Gemini Files API for audio analysis. Gemini AI generates a structured summary including key decisions, action items with assignees, and follow-up topics. A Notion page is created with the complete notes, and the team is notified on Slack with a summary and the action item list.

Setup

  1. Add a Google Gemini API credential for file upload and audio analysis.
  2. Add a Notion API credential and create a database with columns: Title, Date, Summary, Action Items, Status.
  3. Add a Slack OAuth2 credential and set your meetings channel.

Requirements

  • Google Gemini API key (supports audio file analysis)
  • Notion workspace with API integration enabled
  • Slack workspace with OAuth2 app

How to customize

  • Edit the analysis prompt in "Analyze recording with Gemini" to focus on specific meeting types (standup, retrospective, planning).
  • Change the Gemini model to a larger variant for longer recordings.
  • Add a Google Calendar integration to automatically match recordings to calendar events.

Important disclaimer

AI-generated summaries may not capture every detail or nuance from the recording. Always review the notes before sharing externally or making decisions based on them.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13771/13771.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.
