- **Team:** Operations
- **Tools:** Notion, Slack
- **Difficulty:** easy
- **Setup time:** 5 min
- **Time saved:** 15 min/meeting

## How it works
1. **Search Notes** — Find meeting pages in Notion by name or date
2. **Extract Content** — Pull decisions, action items, and key points
3. **Format for Slack** — Convert to Slack markdown with proper structure
4. **Post Summary** — Send to the right channel with a link back to Notion

## Example requests
- Post yesterday's product standup notes to #product-updates
- Share the Q1 planning meeting summary in #leadership
- Find this week's engineering retro notes and send action items to #eng-team

## Prompt

```markdown
## Task

Use @Notion/Search Content to find recent meeting notes in your Notion workspace. Then use @Notion/Retrieve Page and @Notion/Retrieve Block Children to pull the full content of each meeting page. Finally, use @Slack/Send Message to post a formatted summary to the appropriate Slack channel.

**Example:** Find yesterday's product standup notes in Notion and post a summary to #product-updates in Slack.

## Input

The user will provide:
1. A search query or meeting name to find in Notion
2. The Slack channel to post the summary to
3. Optional: specific sections to highlight (decisions, action items, etc.)

**Example:** "Post yesterday's engineering standup notes to #engineering" or "Share the Q1 planning meeting summary in #leadership"

## Context

### Search Strategy

1. Search Notion for pages matching the meeting name or date
2. Filter results to pages (not databases) edited recently
3. Retrieve the full page content including all blocks
4. Extract the most important sections

### What to Extract

From meeting notes, prioritize:
- **Decisions made:** Any firm conclusions or approvals
- **Action items:** Tasks assigned to specific people with deadlines
- **Key discussion points:** Topics that were debated or need follow-up
- **Blockers:** Issues that are holding up progress
- **Next meeting:** When the group meets again

### Formatting for Slack

Use Slack markdown formatting:
- *Bold* for section headers
- Bullet points for lists
- > Blockquotes for important decisions
- @mentions if usernames are available
- Link back to the original Notion page

### What Counts as a Valid Summary

- Only include information actually present in the notes
- Do not fabricate action items or decisions
- If the notes are sparse, say so rather than padding the summary
- Always include the Notion page link for full context

## Output

**Slack Message Format:**

*Meeting Notes: [Meeting Title]*
_[Date] — from Notion_

*Decisions:*
> [Decision 1]
> [Decision 2]

*Action Items:*
- [ ] [Task] — [Owner] — [Due date]
- [ ] [Task] — [Owner] — [Due date]

*Key Points:*
- [Discussion point 1]
- [Discussion point 2]

*Blockers:*
- [Blocker 1]
