https://api.us.nylas.com/v3/notetakers/{notetaker_id}/historyReturn standalone Notetaker history
Returns the full history of events and state changes for the specified standalone Notetaker bot.
Works with an API key or an IAM API key with the notetakers.read permission.
1700000000"notetaker.media"1732657774"Google Meet"action_itemsbooleanWhen true, Notetaker generates a list of action items from the meeting. If action_items is
true, video_recording, audio_recording, and transcription must also be true.
truetrueleave_after_silence_secondsintegerThe number of seconds of silence after which the Notetaker bot automatically leaves the meeting. This helps end recordings when meetings have concluded but participants haven't disconnected the call. Must be between 10 and 3600 seconds (1 hour).
300360summarybooleanWhen true, Notetaker generates a summary of the meeting. If summary is true,
video_recording, audio_recording, and transcription must also be true.
truetruetranscriptionbooleanWhen true, Notetaker transcribes the meeting's audio. If transcription is true,
video_recording and audio_recording must also be true.
truetruetranscription_settingsobjectnullableOptional settings that tune how Notetaker transcribes audio. transcription must be
true for these settings to take effect. Provide any combination of the fields below.
The fields fall into two independent groups:
- Language hints (
expected_languages,fallback_language) constrain automatic language detection. This declares the languages you expect; it does not translate transcripts or force the recording into a specific language. - Keyword hints (
keywords,use_speaker_names_as_keywords) bias recognition toward domain-specific terms such as names, acronyms, and product names.
Set on individual Notetakers, on calendar sync, or on event sync. When set on a calendar,
events inherit the value unless the event's own request overrides it. Send null or {}
to clear inherited settings and return to default transcription behavior.
See Set transcription languages for supported language codes and validation rules.
expected_languagesarray<string>Language codes the audio is expected to contain. Optional. When provided, it must
contain at least one supported code and cannot be null or empty. When omitted,
transcription considers all supported languages.
["en","es"]fallback_languagestringLanguage to use if Notetaker does not detect one of the expected_languages. Optional.
When expected_languages is set, the fallback must be one of those codes. When
expected_languages is omitted, transcription considers all supported languages and
the fallback may be any supported code. When fallback_language is omitted, the
transcriber auto-detects the language. The field is not stored, so responses do not
return it.
"en"keywordsarray<string>Domain-specific terms that bias transcription toward recognizing them correctly, such
as names, acronyms, and product names. Optional. All terms together can contain up
to 200 words, and each term can contain up to 6 words. Words are separated by spaces,
so Nylas uses 1 word and Jane Doe uses 2. Each term must also be 1 to 200
characters and cannot contain control characters. Cannot be null.
["Nylas","AssemblyAI"]messagesobjectCustom announcements the Notetaker bot posts to the meeting chat. Use this to greet attendees when the bot joins, or to acknowledge new participants as they arrive. Messages are optional; when omitted, the bot only posts the default recording-and-transcription notice described in Using Nylas Notetaker.
Like other notetaker_settings fields, messages participates in the
configuration hierarchy and uses whole-object override semantics: the most
specific layer that sets messages completely replaces the parent's value
(there is no per-message merging). See Custom announcements
for the full inheritance model.
on_joinarray<object>Messages the bot sends shortly after it joins the meeting. Each message has its own configurable delay measured from the moment the bot joins. Up to 10 messages per trigger.
type*stringThe message format. Currently only text is supported. Plain-text content
is preferred; any HTML tags in content are stripped before the message
is sent.
"text"content*stringThe message text the bot posts to the meeting chat. After HTML tags are
stripped, the remaining text must be at least 1 character. Requests whose
content becomes empty after sanitization are rejected with a validation
error.
"👋 Hey team! I'm your AI notetaker — here to capture the key points."on_participant_joinarray<object>Messages the bot sends when a new participant joins the meeting. Each message uses a trailing debounce window — if another participant joins before the window expires, the timer resets and only one message is posted per burst of joins. Up to 10 messages per trigger.

"👋 Welcome! Recording and transcription are running."debounce_ms*integerTrailing debounce window in milliseconds. When a participant joins, the bot waits this long before posting the message. If another participant joins inside the window, the timer resets — the message is only posted once the window expires without another join event. This collapses a burst of nearly-simultaneous joins into a single announcement.
3000"Nylas Notetaker""Nylas Notetaker""scheduled"meeting_statestringAdditional information about the Notetaker bot's meeting state for notetaker.meeting_state
events. The value depends on the current state:
When state is connecting: waiting_for_entry.
When state is attending: recording_active.
When state is disconnected: meeting_ended, kicked, no_activity, no_participants, api_request, network_error, cancelled, unknown.
When state is failed_entry: error, internal_error, bad_meeting_code, bad_meeting_link, sign_in_required, entry_denied, no_response, cannot_join, meeting_capacity_reached, admission_timeout, network_error, cancelled.
When state is worker_finished: worker_finished.

The provider or Nylas throttled the request. If a provider throttles a request and
says how long to wait, the Retry-After header gives that number of seconds. When the header
is missing, retry with exponential backoff. See
