When Nothing Arrives After a Meeting

Separating a missing recording from a missing setting.

There are two quite different problems here and they look identical from your inbox.

Nothing was recorded, so there was no transcript, so none of the four post-meeting actions had anything to act on. This is the common case by a wide margin.

Something was recorded and processed, but an action did not run or did not reach anybody. This is a setting or a dependency.

The first question separates them, so start there rather than with the setting you were expecting to blame.

Troubleshooting Guide

Does the meeting have a transcript on its screen?

Yes → It was recorded. The problem is with one of the four actions — carry on down.
No → Nothing was recorded, so nothing could happen. This is an Observer or recording problem, not a settings problem.

Does the meeting show a summary and highlights as well as a transcript?

Yes → It was processed. Check the specific action's setting.
No → It was transcribed but not processed — usually a conversation too short to summarise, under about a minute.

Is the specific action switched on at Settings → Sales Settings → Meeting Settings?

Yes → Check what that action depends on: a contact attached, or a verified sending domain.
No → That is your answer. Three of the four are off by default, so this is the single most likely explanation.

Did your debrief arrive while the attendees heard nothing?

A verified sending domain is almost certainly missing. The debrief uses Zyntro's own sending and always arrives; the attendee summary goes from your domain and is skipped without one. Nothing warns you, which is why this pattern is so common.

Did the contact record not update?

Either the setting is off, or the meeting has no contact attached — a typed-in attendee name is not a contact and there is nothing to write to. Attach the contact and process the recording again.

Was the meeting processed before you changed the setting?

Settings apply to meetings processed after you save them. An already-processed meeting is not re-run. Process the recording again to apply the new settings to it.

Known Issues

Symptom

No debrief arrived at all

Cause

Most often the meeting was never recorded.

Solution

Open the meeting. If there is no transcript, nothing was recorded and the debrief had nothing to report — look at the Observer rather than the debrief setting.

If there is a transcript and a summary, check that Email me a meeting debrief is on. It is on by default, so somebody has turned it off.

A third and rarer cause: Zyntro could not work out which member organised the meeting, so there was nobody to address it to. The meeting's attendee list will show no host in that case.

Symptom

My debrief arrives but the attendees never hear anything

Cause

No verified sending domain, or the summary setting is off.

Solution

This exact pattern has one usual cause. The debrief goes out through Zyntro's own email sending and needs nothing configured. The attendee summary goes from your own domain, so without a verified sending domain Zyntro skips it rather than sending a message that appears to be from you.

Check Send the attendees a summary is on, then check your organisation's sending domain. Then test with a real meeting and an outside email address.

Symptom

One attendee got the summary and another did not

Cause

The one who did not is opted out, or has no valid address.

Solution

Anyone whose contact record is marked as opted out of email, or as do-not-contact, is skipped — a meeting summary is still an email they did not ask for. An invalid or missing address is skipped too.

The host is always excluded by design; the organiser gets the debrief instead.

Symptom

The contact record did not change

Cause

The setting is off, or there is no contact on the meeting.

Solution

Update the contact record from what was said is off by default — check that first.

If it is on, check the meeting's attendee list. A typed-in name is not a contact record, so there is nothing to write to. Only attendees with a View Contact link count.

If both are fine, remember that inferred details are applied only where Zyntro was confident. Something mentioned ambiguously is deliberately left alone, and you would find it in the transcript rather than on the record.

Symptom

No follow-up reminder appeared

Cause

The setting is off, or no follow-up was recommended.

Solution

Work out the follow-up is off by default.

With it on, check the meeting's Follow-up Recommended section. If there is nothing there, none was recommended — a meeting that concluded cleanly often needs no follow-up, and the reasoning says so.

If the recommendation is there and no reminder appeared, note that re-processing a meeting does not create a second reminder. One already existing is the usual explanation.

Symptom

A summary went to clients about meetings from weeks ago

Cause

A batch of old meetings was processed without suppressing notifications.

Solution

The recovery panel on an existing meeting has Suppress attendee notifications on by default for this reason, but the Retrospective screen has it off.

When catching up on old meetings, check that toggle before each submission. If it has already happened, the practical response is a short note to anyone affected — the messages were sent as you, so they read as yours.

Symptom

I changed the settings and the last meeting still behaved the old way

Cause

Settings apply going forward.

Solution

A meeting that has already been processed is not re-run when you change a setting. Process the recording again to apply the new settings to that meeting.

Re-processing is charged at the same rate as the original, so it is worth getting the settings right before a run of important meetings rather than afterwards.

Symptom

Nothing has worked since a particular date

Cause

A Google Meet connection lapsed.

Solution

If several meetings in a row produced nothing, the cause is upstream of all four actions.

Look at the connection roster on Meeting Settings, which lists every Google Meet connection in the organisation and flags the ones needing renewal. Meetings booked during a lapse were created without a Google Meet link and cannot be recorded even after reconnecting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only the debrief to you. The attendee summary, the contact update and the follow-up are all off. A workspace that has never opened Meeting Settings is producing full intelligence and emailing you about it while writing nothing to the CRM and sending nothing to anyone else.

No — processing is a single pass. Change the setting and process the recording again, which re-runs everything that is switched on.

No. Settings apply to meetings processed after you save them. Already-processed meetings are untouched unless you process them again.

It goes out through Zyntro's own email sending, which needs no setup. Everything addressed to people outside your business goes from your own domain and needs that domain verified. That one difference explains most of the asymmetry people notice.

Only through the attendee summary, and only if you switch it on. The follow-up is a reminder addressed to you — it never messages the contact.

No. Skipped means there was nothing to do: everyone had opted out, there was no contact to write to, or no follow-up was warranted. Each skip records its reason, which is different from something failing.

Tip: One check answers most of these: does the meeting have a transcript? If it does not, nothing downstream could have happened and the settings are irrelevant. If it does, the problem is one setting or one dependency, and the sections above name which.
