Automate Workflows with Otter’s Zapier Integration
Otter now integrates with Zapier, giving you the power to automate repetitive tasks and improve your productivity. Whether you want to automatically import recordings for transcription or push Otter’s transcripts, summaries, and action items into your favorite tools, this integration opens up a whole new world of workflow possibilities.
What the Zapier Integration Enables
By connecting Otter to Zapier, you can:
- Automatically import audio or video recordings from other platforms (e.g. cloud drives, file management tools) into Otter
- Quickly and easily export transcripts, summaries, action items, insights, and outlines to apps like Notion, Slack, Google Drive, and many, many more
- Turn Otter actions into multi-step workflows that connect with the rest of your tool stack. For example, turning recordings into transcripts, sharing them in Slack, and saving highlights in Notion.
This is ideal for teams or individuals who want to simplify meeting documentation, build automated content flows, or connect their transcriptions into broader task or knowledge systems.
Note: Zapier integration is available for all Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
