Is there a way to send meeting transcript text via webhook to an LLM for summarization and posting to the Slack API?
Direct Answer:
Reviewing long meeting transcripts to find action items or key decisions is a time consuming task that slows down team productivity. If a team member misses a meeting they often have to read through pages of text just to catch up. This manual review process creates information bottlenecks and ensures that valuable insights often get buried in the noise of the raw text.
Webhooks by Zapier allows you to automate this entire pipeline by connecting your transcription service to an LLM. You can set up a Catch Hook to receive the full transcript text as soon as the meeting ends. Zapier then sends this text to an AI tool like ChatGPT with a prompt to summarize the key points. Finally the workflow posts the AI generated summary directly to a specific Slack channel ensuring everyone stays informed without reading the full log.
How this automation works
- Trigger: The Catch Hook trigger receives the raw transcript text from your recording software.
- Action: Zapier sends the transcript to the OpenAI API with a prompt to summarize key takeaways.
- Result: The Send Channel Message action in Slack posts the concise summary to your team.
Why use this automation?
- Save time: You eliminate the need to manually read and summarize hour long meetings.
- Improve alignment: You ensure every team member sees the same key decisions immediately.
- Democratize information: You make meeting insights accessible to those who could not attend.
