Automate your note-taking setup. Automatically create a fresh Notion meeting note for every calendar event, pre-filled with attendee info.
Table of Contents
The worst time to set up your meeting notes is during the meeting.
You're fumbling to open Notion, typing the title, checking who is on the call... meanwhile, the client is talking and you're missing it.
The Fix: The "Zero-Click" Meeting Note.When you join the Zoom call, your notes page should already be waiting for you.
* Title: ✅
* Date: ✅
* Attendees: ✅
* Agenda Template: ✅
The Workflow
Step 1: The Trigger
* Make.com Trigger: Google Calendar > Watch Events.
* Settings: Watch for "New Events" or "Upcoming Events" (e.g., 15 mins before start).
Step 2: The Notion Page
* Module: Notion > Create a Database Item.
* Database: "Meeting Notes".
* Properties:
* Name: {{Summary}} (from Calendar)
* Date: {{Start Date}}
* Attendees: {{Attendees_Emails}}
* Meeting Link: {{Location}} or {{Description}}
Step 3: The Template Content
You don't want a blank page. You want structure.
In the "Content" section of the Notion module (or using Append to Page Content), add your standard headers:
``markdown
- [ ] Item 1
- [ ]
Now, when you open the page, you just fill in the blanks.
Seeing this in action makes a huge difference. Once configured, the interface provides a clear visual confirmation that your automation is running smoothly, giving you peace of mind that the system is working as intended.
Step 4: The "Context" Link (Advanced)
If you have a CRM in Notion, link it!
Action: Notion > Search Database (CRM).
Query: Email = {{Attendee_Email}}.
Action: Update the "Meeting Note" we just created.
Property: Relation_to_Client` = {{Client_Page_ID}}.
Now, on your Client's page, you see a history of all meetings automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I filter which meetings get notes?
Yes. In Make.com, add a filter after the trigger. For example: Title contains 'Client' OR 'Sync'. This prevents it from creating notes for your 'Lunch' or 'Gym' blocks.
Can it email the attendees the agenda?
Yes! Add a Gmail module at the end. 'Send Email' -> To: Attendees -> Body: 'Looking forward to our chat! Here is the agenda doc: [Notion Link]'.
Does this work with Outlook Calendar?
Yes, Make.com has an 'Outlook Calendar' module that works exactly the same way.
How do I link it to the Client CRM?
Use the 'Search Database' step in Notion. Search your CRM database for the attendee's email. If found, link the new Meeting Note to that Client Page.
