Apply a Bluedot notes template to past meetings

You write a better template for sales calls in Workspace Settings > Templates, and every call recorded before today keeps the old notes.

Cotlet does it in your own Bluedot account with list_templates, list_meetings, apply_template_to_meeting and get_meeting, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

Can Bluedot do this on its own?

Bluedot applies a template to one recording from its notes view, and enforces one on new meetings in a collection (checked 20 Oct 2026). It has no action for a batch of existing recordings, and its MCP server and webhooks cannot change notes.

How you do it in Bluedot today

  1. On the Pro plan or higher, an admin opens Workspace Settings > Templates, clicks Add Template, names it, picks Claude 4.6 Sonnet or GPT-5 and writes a prompt or a list of questions.
  2. Each template is Private to its author or Shared with the workspace; members choose their own default on the My Settings page.
  3. In a collection, ••• (Settings) next to Share has Enforce notes template and Default notes template, so every new meeting there uses one template.
  4. That setting reaches new meetings only: Bluedot says existing notes are not regenerated to match it.
  5. For an older recording, a member opens its notes view, assigns the template there and waits for the new notes, one recording at a time.

How to apply a Bluedot notes template to past meetings

Prompt

Apply the Sales call template to last month's recordings in Customer calls. Do one first and show me the notes before you do the rest.
  1. 01

    Find the template

    list_templates returns the templates you can see in Workspace Settings > Templates, with visibility and creator. The agent picks the one you named and stops if it is not in the list, for example on a plan without custom templates.

  2. 02

    Count the recordings

    list_meetings runs with the collection and the date range from your prompt and follows next_cursor. The agent reports how many recordings it would change before it touches any.

  3. 03

    Try one first

    apply_template_to_meeting runs on a single recording, then get_meeting reads the new summary. The agent shows you that result and waits, because a template that reads well on paper can give odd notes on a real call.

  4. 04

    Apply to the rest

    After your go-ahead the tool runs per recording. A recording you can only view returns APP_PERMISSION_DENIED and is listed as failed instead of retried. Notes are visible to everyone the recording is shared with, so each call waits for your OK by default.

  5. 05

    Report the outcome

    The agent lists applied, failed and skipped recordings with their links, so you can open any of them in Bluedot.

What you get back

Example data

Template: Sales call (Shared, Claude 4.6 Sonnet)
Checked first: "Pricing review" now follows the template
Applied to 9 of 10 recordings from last month
Failed 1: APP_PERMISSION_DENIED (view only)

Other ways to ask

  • Apply the Customer interview template to every recording in Research from this quarter.
  • List which recordings in Customer calls still use another template than Sales call, and change nothing.
  • Create a Weekly sync template with a checklist of follow-up tasks, then apply it to this month's syncs.

What Bluedot allows, and what to know first

  • Custom note templates start on the Bluedot Pro plan; Basic has none, so the template list can be short or empty on a lower plan.
  • A template prompt can ask for a table or a checklist, and each checklist item can be checked off directly in the notes.
  • Bluedot offers Claude 4.6 Sonnet and GPT-5 as the AI model of a template, chosen when the template is written.
  • Setting a default or enforced template for a collection needs editing permission on that collection.
  • A Shared template is visible to everyone in the workspace, and each teammate's list shows who created it.

apply_template_to_meeting asks for your OK by default. To run it on a schedule without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
