1.1. Which actions may Sally use?

A connected integration has two tabs, Overview and Actions. The Actions tab defines what Sally offers through this integration, in the Sally chat and after the meeting.

Primary actions are what Sally actively writes into Notion, meaning creating pages and subpages, appending content to an existing page, and commenting on pages. Each action explains what it does in the line below it.

Use the toggle on the right to take out a single action that Sally should not use for this organization account.

Not every action shows up in the selection at the meeting. Sally uses some of them itself, in the chat or as part of another action. Leave them switched on so the integration works in full, and switch off only what Sally really should not do in this organization account.

Below that sit the helper functions, the read and search functions that support the primary actions, for Notion the search across shared pages and databases. They stay locked as long as an active action needs them.


2. How do I create a Notion page from a meeting summary?

Once Notion is connected, you can export meeting summaries directly as a Notion page.

Important

The Notion integration always transfers the complete meeting summary, not a single entry.

  1. Open the recording in Sally.
  2. Click Integrations in the top right corner and choose Create page in Notion under Notion.

  1. The Create page in Notion dialog holds the complete summary: the running text plus topics, decisions, and tasks. You can adjust the text in the editor before it is transferred.

Best practice

Use the dialog to tidy up the summary before the export: sharpen the tasks, add owners, or bring in context. Notion then holds exactly the version your team should read.


3. What permissions does the Notion integration require?

For the Notion integration, Sally uses the official Notion integration authorization. The following permissions define which areas Sally can access on behalf of the user.

Disclaimer
  1. Sally reads this information solely to technically establish and maintain the connection to the Notion workspace.

  2. Sally does not make autonomous changes in Notion. Content is only created or modified when the user explicitly triggers an action within Sally.

  3. API endpoints are only called as part of an active action initiated by the user within the platform.
