What pasting Markdown into Notion gets you

Notion's Markdown parser is the underrated feature here. Paste a converted transcript into a page and: ## speaker headings become heading-2 blocks, paragraphs become text blocks, lists become list blocks, code fences become code blocks. Every construct is editable, searchable, and linkable to other Notion pages — the way Notion content normally behaves, applied to content that started life as audio.

The "meetings database" workflow

Create a Notion database called Meetings. Properties: title, date, participants (multi-select linked to a People DB), project (relation), status, recording-link. Body of each row: paste the converted Markdown transcript. You then have a queryable archive — filter by participant, sort by date, search across all transcripts, link from project pages to the meetings that shaped them.

Pair with PDF documents (PDF for Notion) and web references (URL for Notion) so every meeting page can pull in the supporting context as related Notion pages.

Action items as database rows

After pasting the transcript, scan for action items (or ask Claude to do it) and create child pages in an Action Items database, each linked back to the source meeting. The transcript provides verifiable attribution; the action items get the project-management treatment Notion is good at. Action items become pages with assignee, due date, and status — and the source transcript justifies why each one exists.
