Weekly Otter Report Sent to Slack

A weekly n8n workflow rolls up all your Otter meeting transcripts from the last 7 days into a summary, then has Slack post an alert to a Slack channel so your team never has to dig for the numbers.

difficulty Beginnersetup 15 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Otter meeting transcript automatically reaches Slack — post an alert to a Slack channel.
  1. 1

    Fetch Otter data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Otter node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Otter API. Run on a weekly Schedule Trigger and fetch this week's meeting transcripts. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Otter can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Otter meeting transcript. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Slack

    Add a Slack node set to operation Send Message. Connect your workspace, choose the Channel, and build the message Text from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real meeting transcript in Otter (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Slack. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Otter and Slack accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Otter API credentials?

In your Otter account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Otter node if one is available.

Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?

Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Slack step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
