## 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 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.

Examples:

* "Share action items in Slack after the meeting ends"
* "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.
