Workflow name
Track meeting action items with Claude, Linear, Slack and Gmail

Quick Overview

This workflow receives meeting transcripts via webhook, uses Anthropic Claude to extract summaries, decisions, and action items, then posts a digest to Slack, emails the organizer via Gmail, and creates high-confidence action items as Linear issues while skipping duplicate deliveries.

How it works

  1. Receives meeting event data via a POST webhook and immediately returns a JSON acknowledgement to prevent provider timeouts and retries.
  2. Extracts the transcript and meeting metadata from Fireflies, Otter, or a raw payload, and ignores test events.
  3. Validates the payload represents a real meeting and deduplicates deliveries using a stored fingerprint so the same meeting is not processed twice.
  4. Sends the transcript and attendee list to Anthropic Claude to generate a structured JSON summary, decisions, next-meeting details, and action items with owners and confidence scores.
  5. Parses the Claude JSON response, filters action items by a confidence threshold (>= 0.7), and formats both a Slack message and an HTML email recap.
  6. Posts the meeting digest to a Slack channel and emails the recap to the meeting organizer.
  7. Creates one Linear issue per high-confidence action item, including meeting context, priority, owner, due-date hint, and confidence.

Setup

  1. Configure your transcript provider (for example Fireflies or Otter) to POST meeting events to this workflow’s webhook URL.
  2. Add Anthropic API credentials for the Claude model used to analyze transcripts.
  3. Add a Slack OAuth2 credential and select the target channel for posting the meeting digest.
  4. Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential and ensure the incoming payload includes the organizer email address used as the recipient.
  5. Add a Linear OAuth2 credential and update the Linear team ID used when creating issues.
  6. Adjust the confidence threshold constant (default 0.7) if you want to create Linear issues more or less aggressively.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16322/16322.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.
