Who is this for?

  • Teams who upload meeting recordings to YouTube (unlisted or private) and want automated notes
  • Project managers who need to track action items across recurring meetings
  • Remote teams who want searchable, structured meeting notes in Notion
  • Content teams repurposing recorded calls into documentation

What problem does this solve?

Meeting notes are either rushed, incomplete, or never written at all. This workflow removes that bottleneck — upload a recording to YouTube and get a structured Notion page with summary, action items, decisions, and key topics, plus a Slack notification, all within minutes.

What this workflow does

  1. Monitors a YouTube channel via RSS for new video uploads
  2. Transcribes the video using deAPI (Whisper Large V3) directly from the YouTube URL — no file download or size limits
  3. AI Agent analyzes the transcript and extracts a title, summary, action items, decisions, and key topics
  4. Creates a structured meeting notes page in a Notion database
  5. Posts the summary and action items to a Slack channel

Setup

Requirements

  • Self-hosted n8n instance (deAPI node is not yet available on n8n Cloud)
  • deAPI account for video transcription
  • Anthropic account for the AI Agent
  • Notion workspace with a meeting notes database
  • Slack workspace

Installing the deAPI Node

  1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes
  2. Install n8n-nodes-deapi

Configuration

  1. Add your deAPI credentials (API key + webhook secret)
  2. Add your Anthropic credentials (API key)
  3. Set the Feed URL in the RSS trigger to your YouTube channel's RSS feed: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=YOUR_CHANNEL_ID
  4. Add your Notion credentials and set the Database ID in the Notion node
  5. Add your Slack credentials and set the Channel in the Slack node
  6. Ensure your n8n instance is on HTTPS

How to customize this workflow

  • Change the AI model: Swap Anthropic for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any other LLM provider
  • Adjust the note structure: Modify the AI Agent system message to extract different fields (attendees, follow-up date, sentiment, etc.)
  • Change the trigger: Replace the RSS trigger with a Google Drive trigger or form upload for non-YouTube recordings
  • Change the output destination: Replace Notion with Google Docs, Confluence, or Airtable
  • Change the notification: Replace Slack with Microsoft Teams, email, or Discord
  • Monitor multiple channels: Duplicate the RSS trigger or use multiple feed URLs to track several YouTube channels
