Überblick
Meeting follow-ups shouldn't be where good ideas go to die
Yet that's exactly what happens when action items get buried in lengthy meeting notes, scattered across different documents, or forgotten entirely in someone's notebook.
You've been there: walking out of a productive meeting with a dozen action items, only to realize days later that what you agreed to do, and critical deadlines are slipping.
This automation template transforms that chaotic post-meeting scramble into a smooth, intelligent workflow. The moment your Granola meeting wraps up, AI extracts every actionable task, and adds them to your personal task tracker—complete with context, priorities, and assignments. No more forgotten action items, no more manual task creation, and no more wondering what you agreed to take on.
Why automate meeting notes to tasks?
- Save time when action items are immediately tracked
- Improve team accountability with automatic task creation and clear ownership from day one
- Never miss important items because AI catches every actionable task, even ones mentioned in passing
You can easily customize this template by swapping Granola for other meeting tools, expanding it to route tasks to your entire team, or routing tasks to different project management platforms based on meeting type.
What you get with this template
- AI task extraction — Automatically identifies and extracts actionable items from your meeting notes
- Slack approval workflow — Routes extracted tasks to you for quick approval so you can vet them and avoid creating noise.
- Smart task prioritization — Categorizes tasks by urgency and importance based on meeting context
- Google Docs integration — Creates a Google Doc record you can easily share with your team
- Organized Asana tasks — Creates properly structured tasks in your project of choice with due dates and project context.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
How long does it take to set up this Granola to Asana automation?
Setup takes just 2-3 minutes. Simply connect your Granola and Asana accounts to Zapier, choose which meeting notes trigger task creation, and map the fields. The automation runs instantly after each meeting, creating tasks in seconds without any manual work.
What should I do if the automation isn't creating tasks from my Granola notes?
First, check that your Granola notes contain clear action items or tasks. Ensure both apps are properly connected in Zapier and that your meeting notes are being saved to the correct Granola folder. You can also test the automation with a sample note to verify the connection is working.
Does this work for all types of meetings and team sizes?
Yes, this automation works with any meeting type that Granola supports - from one-on-ones to large team meetings, client calls, or project reviews. There are no team size limits, and you can customize which meetings trigger task creation based on your workflow needs.
How much time does this automation save compared to manual task creation?
Teams typically save 10-15 minutes per meeting by eliminating manual task entry. For organizations with multiple daily meetings, this can add up to hours of saved time weekly, allowing teams to focus on execution rather than administrative work.
Can I use a different task management tool instead of Asana?
Yes. This automation works with other task management tools in the same category. For example, if you don't use Asana, you can swap in tools like Todoist, Trello, or Monday.com instead. Zapier supports thousands of apps, making it easy to adapt the workflow to your existing stack.
Does this require any coding or technical skills?
No coding required. This is a completely no-code automation that uses Zapier's visual workflow builder. Simply connect your apps, customize the AI prompts for task extraction, and set up the Slack approval process—all through user-friendly interfaces.
How customizable is this meeting notes to tasks workflow?
Highly customizable. You can modify the AI prompts to extract specific types of action items, customize task formatting in Asana, set up different approval workflows in Slack, and even add filters to process only certain types of meetings or notes.
Where is my meeting data stored and is it secure?
Your data flows securely between Granola, Google Docs, and Asana using encrypted connections. Zapier processes data temporarily during automation runs but doesn't permanently store your meeting content. Zapier maintains enterprise-grade security standards and compliance certifications.
