Send meeting summaries to Slack
When Kalima finishes the AI summary of a recording, the overview, decisions and action items appear in the Slack channel you choose, with a link back to the full transcript.
Set it up once with Zapier, n8n or Make. After that, nobody has to write up a meeting for the people who missed it.
The outcome in the channel, not just in someone's notes
Most teams already agree that a meeting's outcome belongs in the channel. What fails is the write-up: it takes ten minutes, and it depends on whoever took notes remembering to post them.
Kalima writes the summary from the transcript. The integration posts it. The same works for client calls, interviews, stand-ups and lectures you record or upload.
Why meeting outcomes never reach the channel
The information exists. Getting it to the right people is the gap.
Write-ups depend on one person
If the note-taker is busy or out, the people who missed the meeting never hear what was decided.
Long transcripts nobody reads
Pasting a full transcript into Slack drowns the channel. People need the decisions and the tasks, with the details one click away.
Context gets lost between tools
A summary without a link to the recording leaves no way to check what was actually said.
How to post Kalima summaries to Slack
The steps with Zapier. With n8n or Make it works the same way through an API key.
Connect Kalima to Zapier
In Kalima, open Settings, Integrations and, on the Zapier card, Go to Zapier. Approve access in the Kalima window that opens.
Choose New AI Summary as the trigger
Optionally limit it to one project or workspace, so only the recordings of one team reach its channel.
Add Slack's Send Channel Message
Pick the channel and map the fields: the recording name, the overview, decisions, action items and the recording link.
Test it and turn it on
Zapier shows a sample from your account. From then on, each new summary is posted once.
What arrives in Slack
Separate fields, so you decide what the message shows.
Overview and key points
A few sentences on what the conversation was about, followed by the points that matter.
Decisions and open questions
What was settled and what still needs an answer, each as its own list.
Action items with owners
Each task with the person and the due date as they were named in the conversation.
A link to the recording
Opens the recording in Kalima for anyone with access to it. For people outside your account, add Create Share Link before the Slack step.
Ways teams use it
One trigger, different channels.
Before you record
Kalima runs on your own device, so nobody in the meeting sees it. That is exactly why you should announce it: tell everyone before you start and ask for their consent. If you use Kalima at work, agree on it with your data protection officer and, where there is one, your works council first.
