Capture meeting outcomes in a structured format that is easy to reference later. This template turns unstructured meeting notes into an organized spreadsheet with columns for the topic discussed, key decisions made, action items, the person responsible, and the deadline. Instead of burying important decisions in a wall of text, each row isolates a single discussion point so your team can quickly scan for what matters to them. The structured format also makes it possible to programmatically extract action items and push them into your task management system. Use the API to auto-create a meeting notes spreadsheet before each recurring meeting, pre-populated with agenda items from your calendar integration. After the meeting, update the spreadsheet with decisions and action items, then share the link in Slack so everyone has a single source of truth.

This template comes with 6 columns designed for a standard meeting notes workflow. Each column can be renamed, reordered, or extended through the API or the browser editor.
The agenda item or subject discussed during the meeting.
A brief summary of the key points raised during discussion.
The outcome or decision made regarding this topic, if any.
A specific next step that needs to be completed after the meeting.
The person responsible for completing the action item.
The date by which the action item should be completed.
This template is a starting point. Here are specific ways to adapt it to your workflow:
Add an "Agenda Item #" column to number each topic, making it easy to reference specific discussion points in follow-up conversations.
Include a "Follow-up Date" column separate from the deadline to schedule check-ins on long-running action items.
Add a "Status" column for action items (Open, In Progress, Done) so you can review outstanding items at the start of the next meeting.
Yes. Integrate your calendar API (Google Calendar, Outlook) with a script that triggers before each meeting. The script pulls the meeting title and agenda, then calls the OpenOfficeAI API to create a pre-populated meeting notes spreadsheet with the agenda items as rows.
Use the GET endpoint to read the spreadsheet data as JSON. Filter for rows where the Action Item column is not empty, then push those items into Jira, Linear, or Asana via their respective APIs. This turns your meeting notes into a lightweight workflow automation.
Yes. The browser editor supports concurrent editing. Share the link with your team before the meeting starts, and anyone with edit access can add notes in real time. Changes are saved automatically and visible to all participants.
