  • Meeting Title: Optional name to identify the meeting
  • Date & Time: When the meeting starts
  • Duration: Estimated meeting length (for credit calculation)

Step 4: Schedule the Bot

Click Schedule Bot. The bot named "Nomo" will join your meeting at the scheduled time.

Important: Make sure all meeting participants know a bot will join for transcription purposes. Some platforms require you to admit the bot from the waiting room.

1Connect Your Google Calendar

First, you'll need to connect your Google Calendar to Nomo:

  1. Navigate to the Calendar page from your dashboard sidebar
  2. Click the "Connect Google Calendar" button
  3. Sign in to your Google account when prompted
  4. Grant Nomo read-only access to your calendar events
  5. You'll be redirected back to the Calendar page
2View Your Synced Meetings

Once connected, your upcoming meetings will appear on the Calendar page:

  • Event Title: The name of your meeting
  • Date & Time: When the meeting is scheduled
  • Meeting Link: Zoom or Google Meet URL (if available)
  • Bot Status: Whether a bot is scheduled to join

Tip: Nomo automatically detects Zoom and Google Meet links from your calendar events. Make sure your meeting invites include the video conference link!

3Access Zoom & Google Meet Links

Your synced calendar events will show meeting links when available:

Zoom Meetings

Look for links like https://zoom.us/j/...

Google Meet

Look for links like https://meet.google.com/...

4Schedule a Bot to Join

For meetings with video conference links, you can schedule a bot to automatically join and transcribe:

  1. Find the meeting you want to transcribe on the Calendar page
  2. Look for the "Schedule Bot" toggle switch

Common Questions

I don't see the "Connect Google Calendar" button

Calendar integration is currently in beta with limited access. If you don't have access, please contact support at support@whiletruelab.com to request approval.

My meeting doesn't show a video conference link

Make sure the calendar event includes a Zoom or Google Meet link in the event details. Ask the meeting organizer to add the conference link to the calendar invite if it's missing.

Can I cancel a scheduled bot?

Yes! Simply toggle off the "Schedule Bot" switch for that meeting before it starts. The bot will not join the meeting.

How do I know if the bot successfully joined?

You'll see "Nomo" appear in the participants list during the meeting. After the meeting, check the Meeting Minutes page to see the transcription status.
