Send Zoom action items in Canvas
Make the next step obvious before meeting momentum fades.
Trigger
Meeting Summary Created or Updated
Triggers when a meeting summary is created or updated for a specific meeting. IMPORTANT: This trigger requires a PAID Zoom account (Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan). Free Zoom accounts cannot use this feature. Additionally requires: - AI Companion feature enabled in account settings - Meeting must not be end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) - Meeting summary must be enabled and generated for the meeting
Action
Create conversation
Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.
Why this helps
Action items in meeting summaries are easy to overlook when nobody turns them into a direct follow-up.
- Highlight decisions and owners
- Reduce dropped follow-ups
- Keep communication in the target workspace
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zoom and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create the automation and describe the action-item message format.
- 3Tell Notis who should receive the conversation and how to handle missing owners.
- 4Pick Meeting Summary Created or Updated as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one summary containing clear actions.
Questions about this workflow
Can it separate decisions from tasks?
Yes. Ask Notis to structure the Canvas conversation with headings for decisions, owners, and dates.
What if an owner is missing?
Ask Notis to flag the item for clarification instead of guessing an owner.
