How to configureSet the Zoom trigger to "Recording Completed" for meetings tagged as "All Hands" or with specific meeting IDs. Cloud recordings need time to process, so the "Recording Completed" trigger fires after processing is done (usually 15-30 minutes after the meeting ends).

Step 1

Save recording to shared drive

How to configureUpload the recording file to a shared Google Drive folder (e.g., "Company > All-Hands Recordings > 2024"). Set sharing permissions to "Anyone in the organization." Create a subfolder for supporting materials (slides, documents referenced during the meeting).

Field Mapping

Parent Folder→"All-Hands Recordings / {{trigger.meeting_date | year}}"

File→{{trigger.recording_files.video}}

Folder Name→"{{trigger.meeting_topic}} — {{trigger.meeting_date | formatted}}"

Sharing→"Organization can view"

Compress the recording or save it at 720p instead of 1080p — all-hands recordings are reference material, not production video, and smaller files save significant Google Drive storage over time

Step 2

Generate transcript and save in Notion

Free plan availableRead review

Try Free

How to configureCreate a Notion page in your "All-Hands" database. Paste or link the full transcript, then organize it into sections matching the meeting agenda. Add a "Key Takeaways" section at the top with 5-7 bullet points summarizing the most important announcements and decisions.

Field Mapping

Database→"All-Hands Notes"

Page Title→"All-Hands → {{trigger.meeting_topic}} — {{trigger.meeting_date | formatted}}"

Transcript→{{trigger.transcript_url}} or paste full text

Recording→{{step1.drive_url}}

Attendees→{{trigger.participant_count}} participants

Duration→{{trigger.meeting_duration}}

Add timestamps next to each section heading (e.g., "Company Update [0:00-12:30]") so people can jump to the recording sections that interest them without watching the entire thing

Step 3

Send recording link and key takeaways via email

Read review

Try Free

How to configureSend a follow-up email to the entire company with the recording link, key takeaways, and the full Notion notes link. Keep the email body short — lead with the 3 most important takeaways, then link to the recording for those who missed the meeting.

Field Mapping

To→all-company@company.com

Subject→"All-Hands Recap → {{trigger.meeting_topic}} — Key Takeaways Inside"

Body→"Top 3 takeaways →

1. {{takeaway_1}}

2. {{takeaway_2}}

3. {{takeaway_3}}

Recording→{{step1.drive_url}}

Full Notes→{{step2.notion_url}}"

Send the recap email within 2 hours of the meeting ending — the longer you wait, the less people care about the content, and it loses its sense of importance

Step 4

Create follow-up action items in ClickUp

Free plan availableRead review

Try Free

How to configureExtract action items announced during the all-hands and create tasks in ClickUp. Assign to the relevant team leads mentioned during the meeting. Set due dates based on the timelines discussed. Link each task back to the all-hands Notion notes for context.

Field Mapping

For each action item→

Task Name→{{action_item.description}}

Assignee→{{action_item.responsible_lead}}

Due Date→{{action_item.deadline}}

Description→"From All-Hands → {{trigger.meeting_topic}}

Notes→{{step2.notion_url}}"

Create the action item tasks in a dedicated "All-Hands Action Items" list in ClickUp — this makes it easy to review progress at the next all-hands and hold teams accountable

Step 5

Post highlights in #company Slack channel

Free plan availableRead review

How to configurePost the highlights in #company Slack channel for maximum visibility. Include the 3 key takeaways, recording link, and notes link. Pin the message for one week so everyone sees it. Tag @channel only for major announcements, otherwise just post normally.

Field Mapping

Channel→#company

Message→" → mega → All-Hands Recap — {{trigger.meeting_topic}}

Key Takeaways→

→movie_camera → Recording → {{step1.drive_url}}

→memo → Full Notes → {{step2.notion_url}}

Action items have been created and assigned. Questions? Reply in thread!"

Pin the Slack recap message for exactly 7 days then unpin — if you leave old all-hands recaps pinned permanently, the pinned messages section becomes a graveyard that nobody checks

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

•Missing field mappings — Double-check that every required field in each action step has data mapped from the trigger or a previous step.
•Rate limits — If you process high volume, check each tool's API rate limits. Add delays between steps if needed.
•Error handling — Add error notification steps so failed runs don't go unnoticed. Most platforms support email or Slack alerts on failure.
•Duplicate handling — Add a "search before create" step to avoid creating duplicate records in your CRM or database.
