When you are on the agenda for a meeting a Groupthink notetaker recorded, or someone shares a recap with you, a recap email arrives at the address on the calendar invite or the address it was shared to. The summary, key decisions, and action items are right there in the email, so you can read the highlights without signing in.

To open the full recap page, including the transcript, click the **View Full Recap** link in the email and sign in.

## What is in the email vs the full recap

The email carries the highlights: a short summary, the key decisions, and the action items, with who they are assigned to where an owner was clear. The full transcript is not in the email.

The full recap page has two tabs:

- **Summary**: the meeting summary, key decisions, action items, and any highlights captured from screens shared during the call. See [Action Items](/docs/action_items) for how the action items block works, including commitments marked **Suggested**.
- **Transcript**: the full conversation, with **Download Text** and **Copy to Clipboard** buttons. See [Exporting Meeting Transcripts](/docs/transcript_export).

## Signing in

The full recap page requires a Groupthink account. Signing in is passwordless: open the sign-in page, enter your email, leave the password field blank, and click the link we email you. There is no password to remember, and an account is created for you the first time someone shares a meeting with your address.

## Troubleshooting

- **Link expired?** Sign-in links are time limited. If yours has expired, request a fresh one at [agendas.groupthink.com/signin](https://agendas.groupthink.com/signin).
- **Did not get the link?** Check spam, and use the same address the meeting was shared to. Still nothing? Email [support@groupthink.com](mailto:support@groupthink.com).
- **Only seeing the highlights?** The full transcript lives on the recap page behind the sign-in. The email itself carries the summary, decisions, and action items.

Do not want an account? Ignore the email, or ask us to remove your address at [support@groupthink.com](mailto:support@groupthink.com).
