Participant Notes

MeetingMind can automatically create and update notes for people mentioned in your meetings.

How It Works

When a transcript is imported:

1. MeetingMind extracts participant names
2. Checks if a note exists for each person
3. Creates missing notes in your People folder
4. Updates existing notes with meeting references

Configuration

Settings → MeetingMind → Participants

Setting	Description	Default
Auto-create participant notes	Create notes for new participants	Off
People folder	Where participant notes are created	People
Update existing notes	Add meeting links to existing notes	On

What Gets Linked

Owns Section:

• Topics: Wiki-links to topic notes the person leads (e.g., [[Payment flow]])
• Updates: Plain text with status emoji and date (not separate notes)
  • 🔄 = in-progress
  • ✅ = completed
  • 🚫 = blocked

Raised Issues Section:

• Wiki-links to issue notes the person raised
• Issues automatically link back using **Raised by**: [[Person Name]]

Benefits:

• See what someone owns at a glance
• Track issues they've raised across meetings
• Obsidian's backlinks panel shows all mentions automatically
• Completed items stay visible (never auto-archived)

Tips

• Consistent naming: Use the same name format in meetings for best linking
• Add aliases: If someone goes by multiple names, add aliases to their note
• People folder: Keep participant notes in a dedicated folder for organization
