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.

How to Connect Otter to Zapier

  1. In Otter, go to Apps
  2. Click Create a Zap next to the Zapier option
  3. Copy your API key when prompted
  4. Head to Zapier + Otter.ai integrations and use the API key to authenticate your Otter account and start building your workflow

That’s it! You’re now ready to start building automated workflows and making your work life a whole lot easier.

Key Benefits of the Otter + Zapier Integration

  • Full automation: You are now free to stop copying and pasting transcripts manually between tools
  • Two-way workflows: Automatically send recordings into Otter, or go the other way and distribute transcripts from Otter into your tools of choice
  • Granular outputs: Export structured components like summaries, action items, insights, and full transcripts - not just raw text
  • Enterprise-ready: Secure authentication with API key controls - great for workspace-level deployments

Note: Importing audio files through Zapier does consume your monthly Otter transcription minutes. You can always get more by upgrading your plan, though!
