n8n Meeting Notes to Action Items Workflow: a free n8n template.

What it does

Meetings end. Follow-through usually does not. Paste any meeting transcript into this workflow and it pulls out every action item, assigns an owner, sets a due date, and files each one as a task in your tool. Nothing agreed in the room gets lost in the room. Importable n8n JSON with setup sticky notes on every node. Add your keys and run it.

Inside the workflow: 14 nodes

Questions

Do I need to code?

No. n8n Meeting Notes to Action Items Workflow is an importable n8n JSON file. Every node carries a sticky note that tells you what to set.

How do I import it into n8n?

Open n8n, press the three dots menu, pick Import from File, and select the JSON. Then follow the sticky notes.

What do I need to run it?

A free or paid n8n instance. The workflow has a Config node for your values and a test mode that runs with zero external credentials.

What does it cost?

Nothing. You trade your email for the download, and I send the file plus the setup guide.
