How to Keep Your Meeting Notes in Notion

Let’s be honest here: no one likes writing meeting notes–myself included. It’s undoubtedly a hassle, takes a lot of time, and often results in lost information and disorganization. It’s very easy to miss all the critical details, which often leads to frustration.

Luckily, I found a solution–Tactiq! Tactiq offers an easy solution by transforming spoken content into written transcripts and summaries. Once I’ve obtained a transcript for a Google Meet call, I can paste it on a Notion page for my own reference and for sharing with trusted teammates.

Moreover, the process becomes even more straightforward with Tactiq's new integration with Zapier. Zapier allows you to connect Tactiq with thousands of the most popular apps so that you can automate your work and have more time for what matters most—no code required. This lack of code means not only can you easily keep your meeting notes in Notion, but you can also automate tasks such as scheduling follow-up tasks or sharing notes with your team without manual intervention.

Tactiq simplifies the organization of my notes, action items, and insights in one accessible location.

To install Tactiq on your computer, simply follow these steps:

1. Visit the Chrome Web Store. Click ‘Add to Chrome’ on the right-hand side of the page, then ‘Add Extension.’
2. If you have Tactiq installed but haven't enabled Google Meet, go to the ‘Integrations’ section on the left side of the Tactiq dashboard.

3. Click ‘Connect’ next to the Google Meet icon.

4. Join your meeting. You'll see the Tactiq widget on the right side of your screen within your display. This area is where you'll see the live transcription appear.
