Syncing Tasks to Outlook

For Outlook users, Less Meeting will automatically create tasks for action items assigned to you with the text and due date set. As long as you have the Less Meeting Outlook plugin installed, your tasks will automatically appear after you close a meeting.

Through the Website

Action items can also be managed through the Less Meeting website by clicking the "Action Items" link on the top menu.

This shows you both the action items that you owe as well as the action items owed to you.  There are links to the meeting pages to easily see what context the action item was created in.
