Set up your client project: team directory, board conventions, and meeting cadence
Teams build one Juma project per client and add context over time. Every flow the team runs for that client pulls from the same project, so the more Juma knows about who is on the team, which board they use, and how they meet, the more accurate each task list gets. If a project already exists, adding a few details about the team and the board means Juma assigns the right owners and pushes to the right place without being told each time.
What to add
Team & Owner Directory
Who is on the team, their roles, and how their names map to users on the board. With this in the project, Juma assigns follow-ups to the right owner and matches each name to the correct board account instead of guessing.
Board & Task Conventions
Which board and project the tasks belong in, the due-date format the team uses, and any labels or lists follow-ups should land in. Add this and the approved tasks push in the shape the team already tracks work, not a generic default.
Meeting Cadence
The standing meetings the team runs and what each one is for: the weekly standup, the client review, the monthly planning call. This helps Juma resolve "our most recent meeting" correctly and track recurring follow-ups across calls.
Past Action Item Log
Previous task lists saved as reference. Juma checks new follow-ups against these to spot carry-overs and repeats, so an item that keeps slipping surfaces instead of being logged fresh every week.
Guide Juma with project info
Add a short description to each knowledge item in the project's info field so Juma knows what each file holds and when to use it. For example:
- Team & Owner Directory: "Who's who and their board usernames. Use this to assign owners and match names to board accounts."
- Board & Task Conventions: "Our board setup and due-date format. Follow this when pushing approved tasks."
- Meeting Cadence: "Our standing meetings. Use this to resolve which call is meant and to track recurring items."
Turn your next meeting into board-ready tasks
Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does this Flow save compared to writing up action items by hand?
Writing up meeting follow-ups by hand takes 20 to 40 minutes per call: replaying parts, deciding who owns what, setting dates, and typing each task into the board. Juma reads the whole transcript and proposes the full task list in minutes, so the team spends its time reviewing and approving instead of transcribing.
The judgment stays with the team. Juma proposes owners and dates, but you confirm who owns what and when it is due before anything is created. Strategy, taste, and judgment stay human, and the Flow handles the repetitive part: turning a long conversation into a clean, structured list. For teams running several meetings a week, that adds up to hours saved without losing the review step that keeps the board accurate.
What does Juma include in each board-ready task?
Each board-ready task has four fields: a clear title describing the action, an owner drawn from who committed to it on the call, a due date inferred from any timing mentioned, and a notes field carrying the context from the transcript. That is everything a project board needs to accept the task without cleanup.
The notes field is what keeps the task honest. It holds the context from the meeting, so the owner reading the task later can see what was agreed without going back to the recording. When you push to a connected board like Basecamp or Asana, Juma maps these four fields to the board's own task fields, so the item arrives complete rather than as a bare line of text.
Does Juma create tasks automatically, or do I approve them first?
You approve first, always. Juma proposes the full task list and creates nothing until you sign off. This is a propose-then-approve Flow: review the titles, owners, and dates, correct anything that is off, and only then does Juma create the tasks or push them to a connected board. Human review sits on every output.
The approval gate matters most on the details Juma infers, like who owns a follow-up that was discussed loosely or a due date read from a phrase like "sometime next week." Juma flags anything it had to guess so those items are easy to spot and fix. Nothing reaches your board until you have seen the full list and said go, which is what keeps a fast first draft from turning into work no one agreed to.
What if the team doesn't use Fathom?
Fathom makes the pull faster, but it is not required. Paste a transcript or raw meeting notes from Zoom, Google Meet, or a manual write-up, and Juma extracts the same board-ready tasks: title, owner, due date, and notes. The propose-then-approve step works the same way whether the source is a connected call or pasted text.
With Fathom connected, Juma reads your latest recording directly, so there is no downloading or pasting. Without it, any text that captures what was said works as the input. Either way, the output is a structured task list you review before anything is created, and the quality depends on how complete the notes are, not on which tool produced them.
Which project boards can Juma push approved tasks to?
Juma pushes approved tasks to a connected project board such as Basecamp or Asana. Once the board is connected and you have approved the list, Juma creates the tasks in the project you name, mapping each title, owner, due date, and notes to the board's own fields. Without a board connected, you still get the full task list to copy or export.
The connection works at the user level, so Juma acts with the same access you already have on the board and creates tasks in the projects you can reach. Because pricing is credit-based with unlimited seats, every person on the team can connect their own board and run this Flow without a per-seat charge. The push is always the last step, after your approval, never before.
