How to Build an AI Notetaker Across Zoom, Google Meet, Outlook, and Salesforce with a Unified API


October 31, 2025

Modern revenue and support teams spend hours capturing notes, updating CRMs, and scheduling follow-ups after every customer call. These repetitive workflows slow down productivity and create data gaps across systems.

Unified.to simplifies the entire process. With one unified API, your product can capture meeting recordings, generate AI notes and action items, sync them to CRM records, and automatically schedule follow-ups—without building or maintaining per-vendor integrations.

When to Use an AI Notetaker

With a unified API, you can:

  • Auto-generate summaries, decisions, and action items from calls or meetings.
  • Update CRM records with notes and next steps—no manual entry.
  • Auto-schedule follow-ups or callbacks on the connected calendar.
  • Unify calls and email threads into a single, real-time CRM timeline.

Unified Objects & Key Entities

Data Flow for AI Notetaker

The workflow follows a simple, repeatable pattern across all connected systems:

  1. Connect — The user authenticates their CRM, messaging, calendar, and meeting providers through Unified's embedded authorization flow. Each integration returns a connection_id, giving your product secure, real-time access to customer data.
  2. Capture — Fetch recent meetings, recordings, or transcripts from the connected conferencing platform. Optionally, pull in related email threads from Gmail, Outlook, or Slack to add pre- and post-meeting context.
  3. Summarize — Create a GenAI prompt that includes transcript text and context to generate structured summaries, action items, or decisions. Unified GenAI handles the prompt orchestration and model routing.
  4. Sync to CRM — Write the summary and key outcomes back to the customer's CRM as a Note or Activity, automatically linked to the relevant Contact, Company, or Deal.
  5. Schedule Follow-ups — Create a new calendar event for callbacks or reminders and subscribe to updates to handle reschedules and cancellations automatically.
  6. Stay in Sync — Unified's webhooks monitor transcript updates, message replies, or CRM changes in real time, ensuring every note and task stays current without manual refresh.

This flow keeps every insight, follow-up, and customer interaction synchronized, without custom logic per vendor.
