Meetings

Written by Michael Simmons

Meetings are Clarify's record of every call - the transcript, summary, and the people who were on it - linked automatically to the people, companies, and deals involved.

Unlike People, Companies, and Deals, meeting records aren't created from a blank form. Clarify builds them from a recording, an imported transcript, or a Rep request.

How meeting records are created

There's no "Add Meeting" button. A meeting record needs a transcript or recording behind it, so Clarify creates them one of these ways:

  • Calendar + recording (automatic) - the most common path. Connect your calendar and enable recording; Clarify detects the meeting, records it, and creates the record automatically. See Meeting recording.

  • Quick Record (ad-hoc, macOS desktop app) - starting a recording for a call that isn't on your calendar creates a standalone meeting record on the spot. See macOS App.

  • Rep transcript import - attach a transcript from another tool (Fireflies, Otter, Gong, etc.) in Rep chat and ask it to create a meeting record. Rep fills in the title, participants, timing, meeting type, and summary. Requires file upload to be enabled for your workspace.

  • MCP import - if your workspace has Granola, Sybill, or Attio connected via MCP, meetings from those tools can be imported as Clarify meeting records.

ℹ️ Had a call Clarify didn't record and none of the above fits? Log it as a comment on the person, company, or deal instead - open the record's activity timeline and use "Leave a comment." See Understanding your data in Clarify.

What's on a meeting record

Open any meeting from Meetings in the left sidebar. Each record includes:

  • Title and date/time - pulled from the calendar event, or set directly for ad-hoc meetings

  • External and internal attendees - listed separately, based on your company email domains

  • Type - categorizes the meeting (Sales: Discovery, Sales: Closing, CS: Onboarding, CS: Account Review, CS: Support, or a custom type your workspace has added). Determines which summary template is used - see Meeting summary templates

  • Description - a free-text field for context

  • Notes - a rich-text field for anything you want to add manually alongside the AI summary

  • Summary and transcript - generated after a recorded meeting ends. See Meeting intelligence

  • Meeting brief - AI prep generated ahead of external meetings. See Meeting intelligence

  • Activity feed - comments and updates related to the meeting

  • Tasks - action items Clarify created from the conversation

Finding and organizing meetings

  • Meetings in the left sidebar - browse Past meetings or Upcoming

  • Home page - meeting cards for today's schedule

  • On a related record - meetings tied to a person, company, or deal show on that record's activity timeline

  • Search - Cmd/Ctrl + K, or ask Rep

Meetings link automatically to the people, companies, and deals involved based on attendee email addresses.

Working with a meeting record

  • Publish to the web - share a public link to the recording, summary, and transcript. See Published meetings

  • Draft a follow-up email - generate an AI email from the meeting page. See Meeting intelligence

  • Chat with Rep - ask questions about the meeting directly from its page. See Meeting intelligence

  • Change the meeting type - update it from the Details panel. See Meeting summary templates for how this affects the summary

Visibility and recording settings

Who can see a meeting, whether it gets recorded, and how it syncs are controlled separately from the record itself:

Limitations

  • There's no blank "Add Meeting" form - every meeting record needs a recording, transcript, or import behind it.

  • Deleting a meeting record is permanent - there's no recycle bin. See Understanding your data in Clarify.

FAQ

Can I manually add a meeting the way I add a person or deal? No. There's no blank form - Clarify needs a recording, an imported transcript, or a Rep request to create a meeting record. For anything else, log it as a comment on the related person, company, or deal record.

What's the difference between a meeting's Notes field and a comment on a person or deal? Notes live on the meeting record itself. Comments live on the activity timeline of a person, company, or deal, and are the right place to log something that didn't come from a recorded meeting.

Can I delete a meeting record? Yes, the same as People, Companies, and Deals - deletion is permanent and there's no recycle bin.
