# How to set Meeting Purposes and Outcomes with Automations

Automations let you use AI and rules to automatically assign Meeting Purposes and Outcomes, update CRM records, and trigger follow-up actions. 

This is designed for admins who want consistent meeting data without relying on reps to tag meetings manually. Use this when you want Purposes and Outcomes applied reliably at scale.

| #### **Before you begin** - You must be an **Avoma Admin**. - **Meeting Purposes and Outcomes** must already be created in your organization. - If you plan to update CRM records, your **CRM integration must be connected**. |
| --- |

### **What Automations can do**

Automations can perform the following actions automatically:

- Assign **Meeting Purposes** using AI and rule-based logic.
- Detect and apply **Meeting Outcomes** after meetings complete.
- Update **CRM records** (such as events or tasks).
- Create **follow-up tasks** in tools like ClickUp.
- Control **recording and privacy settings**.

### **How AI detection works**

Avoma AI evaluates multiple signals to determine the right Purpose or Outcome:

- Meeting titles
- Participant roles and teams
- Conversation content (used for Outcome detection)

AI selects only from your **existing Purpose and Outcome lists**.

**Note:**AI does not create new Purposes or Outcomes.  
CRM updates happen only if you explicitly add a CRM action to the automation.

### **Create an automation**

1. Go to **Settings → Automations**.
2. Click **Create New Automation**.
3. Configure the automation: 
     - Automation name: Enter a name that explains what the automation is about.
     - **Trigger**: Select a condition to trigger the automation (for example: *Meeting added or updated on Calendar, Conversation Transcription is available, or Conversation Notes are available*).
     - **Rules**: Add optional conditions to narrow when the automation should run. Example, Team, meeting title, meeting purpose etc
     - **Action**: Select one or more actions, such as: 
           - Set Meeting Purpose
           - Set Meeting Outcome
           - Update a CRM record
           - Create a Task
4. Click **Create**.

The automation will run automatically for all future meetings that match the criteria.

#### **Tips**

- Start with **1–2 high-impact automations** first (example: auto-tag meetings with “Demo” in the title).
- Encourage **consistent meeting titles**—it improves AI accuracy and makes rule conditions more reliable.
- After launch, **review early results** (first few days) to confirm Purposes and Outcomes are being applied as expected.

### **Troubleshooting and FAQs**

 

#### **Why didn’t a Meeting Purpose or Outcome get applied?**

This usually means the automation didn’t run or couldn’t make a match.

- Check that the meeting met the **trigger conditions** (for example, transcription or notes were available).
- Confirm the meeting matched all configured **rules** (team, title, purpose, etc.).
- Make sure the expected Purpose or Outcome exists in your organization’s list.

If needed, temporarily remove rules to verify the automation is firing.

 

#### **Why was the wrong Meeting Purpose or Outcome selected?**

AI selects the best match based on available signals, which may be ambiguous.

- Review the **meeting title** and ensure it clearly reflects the meeting type.
- Check participant roles and team assignments.
- For Outcomes, confirm the **conversation content** supports the expected result.

Improving title consistency usually resolves this.

 

#### **Why didn’t my CRM record update after the meeting?**

CRM updates only occur when explicitly configured.

- Verify your **CRM integration is connected**.
- Confirm the automation includes an **Update a CRM record** action.
- Ensure the automation actually ran for that meeting.

If all three are true, review CRM permissions and field mappings.

 

#### **Can Automations create new Meeting Purposes or Outcomes for me?**

No—Automations only select from existing values.

- Create all required Purposes and Outcomes first.
- Then use Automations to apply them automatically.

#### **Do Automations apply to past meetings?**

No—Automations only run on meetings that occur **after** the automation is created. To update older meetings, changes must be made manually.

### What’s next

- Review **Purpose and Outcome reporting** in dashboards to track trends and coverage.
- Adopt a simple admin routine:  
    - Audit a **weekly sample** of meetings to confirm automations are behaving correctly.

- - Expand coverage by adding the next highest-volume meeting type (for example: Discovery → Proposal → Renewal).
- Learn more: **Automations in Avoma.**

#### **Recap**

Once set up, Automations use AI plus your rules to apply Meeting Purposes and Outcomes consistently—keeping meetings, dashboards, and CRM workflows in sync without manual tagging.
