# Follow-ups

> Lindy automatically sends follow-up emails with action items after every meeting

## Nothing Falls Through the Cracks

After every meeting, Lindy extracts the action items and sends a follow-up email to attendees. Decisions get documented, next steps are clear, and everyone knows what they're responsible for. Work moves forward without you chasing it.

## How to Set It Up

<Note>
  Open Lindy, click your **workspace name** in the top-left, and choose **Settings**. In the left sidebar, click **Meetings** — that's where you choose who receives follow-ups and add custom **Follow-up Actions**.
</Note>

## How It Works

When meeting recording is enabled, Lindy automatically handles follow-ups:

1. **Meeting ends**: Lindy processes the recording and transcript
2. **Action items extracted**: Lindy identifies decisions, next steps, and owners
3. **Follow-up sent**: An email goes out to attendees with the summary and action items

## Who Gets the Follow-up

* **All participants**: everyone on the invite gets the summary
* **Internal only**: just your team
* **Specific people**: customize per your preferences

## Custom Follow-up Actions

Beyond email, you can tell Lindy to take additional actions after meetings. In your settings at [chat.lindy.ai](https://chat.lindy.ai), use the **Follow-up Actions** field to describe what Lindy should do.

<Note>
  **Lindy works with your existing tools** — Notion, Slack, Todoist, and hundreds more. Just tell it what to do (*"Add action items to Todoist"*) and it handles the rest.

  The first time it uses an app, Lindy asks you to connect it.

### Examples

One of the most-loved follow-ups is having Lindy DM you in Slack right after the meeting ends, with the still-outstanding action items and a heads-up on anything that needs your attention.

**Try a prompt like:**

<div style={{ background: 'rgba(124, 58, 237, 0.08)', border: '1px solid rgba(124, 58, 237, 0.15)', borderRadius: '8px', padding: '14px 18px', color: '#7C3AED', fontFamily: 'ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, monospace', fontSize: '0.95em', margin: '12px 0 20px' }}>
  Send a Slack DM with action items
</div>

Other examples:

* "Update the CRM with notes from every sales call"
* "Create a Notion page with the meeting summary"
* "Send action items to the project lead if they weren't on the call"

<Tip>
  This page covers post-meeting follow-ups. Lindy can also draft follow-up emails when someone hasn't replied to a message you sent. See [Email Drafting](/features/inbox-management/email-drafting) for that feature.
