3. Configure meeting recording automation

The power of Claap comes with having your meetings automatically recorded and automatically processed to extract AI insights and sync with your CRM.

After connecting your Calendar and CRM, we recommend to configure your Meeting automation preferences in Settings > Meeting preferences (or just click here: https://app.claap.io/?settingsPage=meetingPreferences)

For more details on these settings, check out the following pages:

4. Record your first meeting

Once you've completed the steps above, you are ready to record your next meeting in Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom.

Depending on your automation settings, your next meeting may be automatically recorded, in this case just make sure to accept the Claap bot recorder when it asks to join the meeting.

Otherwise, you can send the Claap bot recorder to any meeting directly from the Claap app by clicking on the Record button and selecting "Record meeting". You will then be prompted to paste your meeting url, after which the bot will join and record the meeting.

💡 To test how the Claap bot recorder works, you can easily schedule and record a "fake" meeting with yourself and send the bot recorder to it.

5. Review meeting insights and more

Once the meeting is over, the recording will be automatically processed, transcribed, and summarized and will appear in your Library under "My meetings".

If you connected your CRM, a sync will be triggered and meeting notes and insights will be attached to the relevant contacts, deals, and organizations in the CRM. These notes are accessible from the recording page directly.

On the recording page, you can check out the following tabs below the video:

  • Overview: meeting summary, speaker insights, action items, email follow-up, and "Ask anything"

  • Insights: AI insights following your choice of templates including MEDDIC, BANT and other sales frameworks

  • Coaching: coaching feedback and opportunities based on the analysis of your call

  • Transcript: full meeting transcript

  • Chapters: automatic chapters generated for your meeting
