Can We Customise the Summary Format?

Learn how to customize meeting summary formats using Playbooks, Outdoo AI's workaround feature for creating tailored AI-generated documents that match your specific needs.

You can choose which sections appear in call summary emails and Slack messages, and in what order, in Company Settings > Conversation Capture > Notification Templates. See Custom notifications.

For a fully custom format, use CRM Automation (playbooks) to create AI-generated documents tailored to your specific use cases.

How to use CRM Automation as a workaround

  • Open CRM Automation:
    • Click CRM Automation in the sidebar.

  • Create a new playbook:
    • Click Add Playbook and give the playbook a name.
  • Define the document structure:
    • Under Sections, add a section for each part of the document you need.
    • In each section, write the instruction to the AI. Example: "What is the budget or financial resources available to the customer for investing in a solution?"
    • Optionally, map a section to a CRM field so the answer is written to your CRM.
  • Choose where it goes:
    • Under Settings, choose whether results are sent by Email or to Slack.
  • Save:
    • Click Create Playbook. The playbook then generates a customized AI document after each meeting it applies to.

Here is a walkthrough video for your convenience.
