Meetings

Meetings connects your calendar to Obvious, works with the Obvious notetaker or the notetaker of your choice, and routes your notes, actions, and decisions to your projects automatically. Quick Search finds any meeting without browsing the calendar, your notetaker's agent image and name apply across your workspace, and you can manage meeting tasks from several places.

Connect your calendar

Connect a calendar so Obvious can see your meetings and join them.

  1. Open Settings → Integrations → Connectors.

  2. Connect the calendar account you want to use.

  3. Complete the provider authorization flow.

If you use more than one calendar account, connect each one you want available in Meetings.

For the full walkthrough, including Google Calendar and Outlook, see Calendar Integration.

Choose your notetaker

The Obvious notetaker joins supported online meetings, records the conversation, and prepares a summary, action items, and a transcript when available.

You can also keep the notetaker you already use. When you bring notes from another notetaker into Obvious, the meeting details are detected automatically.

Send meeting notes to your projects

Meeting notes, actions, and decisions can be routed to your projects automatically.

When you add existing meetings to a project, they're separated into Upcoming and Completed tabs.

Meetings are searchable. Press ⌘K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows to open Quick Search, then type the name of a meeting to jump straight to it, without browsing the calendar.

For more on searching your workspace, see Search Your Workspace with Quick Search (Cmd+K).

Personalize your meeting notetaker

You can personalize your meeting notetaker with an agent image and name. The image and name apply to your whole workspace.

Manage meeting tasks

Meeting tasks can be managed from several places:

  • Use bulk actions on the Tasks page to manage many tasks at once.

  • Accept or decline a task from its context menu.

  • Review approval cards inline in the Actions tab.

Pull teammates into a meeting proposal

When you revise a meeting proposal, @ mention a teammate to pull them into the discussion.
