Meeting prep briefing

Receive a private brief with who you are meeting, your history, open commitments, and source links.

Starting request

Tell OpenTag exactly what to repeat

“Before my external meetings, send me a private Slack brief with the attendees, our history from Granola, open commitments, useful questions, and links to every source.”

Use this as a starting point, then replace the example details with the sources, scope, and destination your team uses.

After setup, paste this into Slack and review the first result before scheduling it.

Walk into the meeting with the open questions

Prepare for a meeting using its calendar details and the notes you can access in Granola. Ask OpenTag for a private Slack brief with the relevant history, outstanding commitments and questions to resolve before the call.

Example output

Illustrative example with invented data. This is not a customer result or a captured OpenTag run.

Meeting
Project review at 10:00 Pacific. List the attendees and the calendar event that identifies this meeting.
Previous decision
The previous call agreed to review the revised scope before Friday. Link the note or transcript supporting that decision.
Open commitment
No completed follow-up was found in the available notes. Confirm the status rather than treating the missing record as proof the work was not done.
Questions to ask
Has the revised deadline been approved, who owns the scope review, and which decision is needed during this call?
Sources and gaps
Link the calendar event and relevant Granola notes. State when no prior meeting record is available for an attendee.

Decide these details first

  1. Choose the meetings

    Specify the Google Calendar, timezone and which meetings count. Exclude personal events, focus blocks or recurring internal calls that do not need a briefing.

  2. Choose the context

    Name the people or company and the relevant Granola notes. Ask OpenTag to distinguish confirmed decisions from suggestions and to flag notes it cannot access.

  3. Keep delivery private

    Choose your Slack DM and the delivery time. Check the first briefing before scheduling it, especially when it includes personal notes or customer context.

Access and limits

  • Granola is read-only. This workflow reads available notes and transcripts; it does not change the meeting record.
  • Granola personal and shared content have separate access settings. A selectively shared note is not automatically available to the whole workspace.
  • A briefing does not require changing the calendar or inviting attendees. Ask for those actions separately when you need them.

Setup and source guides

Shape it around your team

The example gives you a useful structure. The connections, scope, and schedule should match the way your team actually works.

  1. 1

    Connect the sources

    Connect Google Calendar and Granola. OpenTag can only use the accounts and records those connections allow.

  2. 2

    Make the scope explicit

    Name the exact accounts, projects, owners, date range, and time zone that matter. Replace the example details with your team’s own.

  3. 3

    Check the first run

    Run it once, review the source links and Slack destination, then keep or adjust the 45 minutes before timing.

Keep the same team context and find another recurring job to hand off.

Describe the job. OpenTag builds the routine.

Name what to read, the period to cover, the result you need, when it should run, and where it should go. Run it once and check the result before relying on the schedule.
