Assign Krisp action items an owner and due date

Krisp lists every task from your calls, but half of them have no owner and no date, so on Monday nobody knows what is theirs.

Cotlet does it in your own Krisp account with list_action_items, get_meeting and update_action_item, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

Can Krisp do this on its own?

The official Krisp MCP lists action items and marks them done or open again, one at a time or up to 50 in a call, but it has no tool to set a due date, priority or assignee (checked 22 Oct 2026). Krisp assigns items automatically only when it can match a participant.

How you do it in Krisp today

  1. Open the Action Items page in the account dashboard. The Assigned to Me view lets you prioritize tasks, mark them completed, set due dates and assign them to team members.
  2. Switch to All Action Items to see tasks from all meetings and all team members, with the same options.
  3. Or open a meeting's notes after Summarize and edit its action items there, adding a Due date, Priority and Assignee.
  4. Krisp assigns items to participants on its own when your calendar is connected or the speakers are assigned in the transcript. Everything else stays unassigned.
  5. Items you add in the Personal section are visible only to you.

How to assign Krisp action items an owner and due date

Prompt

List open Krisp action items with no assignee or no due date. Read the source meeting, and where someone said who and by when, set the assignee and due date. Leave the rest for me.
  1. 01

    Pull the open items

    list_action_items runs with view all and status open. Each item comes back with its ID, assignee, due date and source meeting, and the agent keeps the items missing an assignee or a due date.

  2. 02

    Read where it was said

    For each source meeting, get_meeting returns the action items with the summary and key points, and the transcript when the summary is not enough. The agent looks for a name and a date said about that task, such as "Dana sends the quote by Friday".

  3. 03

    Set only what was said

    update_action_item sets due_date, assignee_email or priority where the meeting names one. A date or owner the meeting never mentioned is not guessed: the item goes on your list with the line that made it unclear.

  4. 04

    Ask before you notify

    An assignment shows up in the assignee's Activity Center, so each update waits for your OK until you switch confirmation off for update_action_item.

  5. 05

    Report what is still open

    The agent returns the updated items, then those still without an owner or a date, grouped by meeting.

What you get back

Example data

Open items without owner or date: 11
Updated 7 (e.g. "Send revised quote" to Dana, due 2026-10-30)
Owner set, no date said 2
Nothing said about it 2: "Look into pricing page", "Book the venue"
Assignment notifications sent: 5

Other ways to ask

  • Every Monday, list my action items that are overdue and group them by meeting.
  • Set the due date on every open item from the product sync to the Friday after the meeting.
  • Show items assigned to nobody from the last two weeks, but change nothing.

What Krisp allows, and what to know first

  • Krisp has an Assigned to Me view and an All Action Items view, and the Personal section holds items visible only to you.
  • Krisp lets you edit an action item's Due date, Priority and Assignee in the meeting notes.
  • If you delete the Action Items section from a meeting's notes, you have to summarize the meeting again and all manual edits are erased.
  • Each Krisp action item has its own ID, and titles are not unique, so an update goes by ID.
  • Krisp lists action item assignments in the Activity Center of the person they are assigned to.

update_action_item asks for your OK by default. To run it daily without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
