You can quickly navigate to Notes with `G` then `N`. See all [keyboard shortcuts](/docs/settings/keyboard-shortcuts). Notes are key in Spott: besides keeping your team aligned, they fuel the AI features with rich context. ## Open the Notes view From the left-hand navigation bar, select **Notes** to open the notes list. This view shows all notes stored in your workspace. The search bar supports Boolean queries. The Notes list ## Add a new note Click **Add Note**. A pop-up editor opens. The note editor with its link and label badges In this window you can: * **Link meeting**: attach the note to a specific calendar meeting. You can also create a note directly from a meeting's detail page, which tags the meeting automatically. * **Source**: categorize where the conversation happened: in person, phone outbound, phone inbound, online meeting, or voicemail. * **Link record**: connect the note to a candidate, contact, job, or company. * **Labels**: add labels (for example Intro, Interview, Business Development), configurable from Settings. * **Select a template**: insert a company note template for consistent structure. * **Record note**: record a voice note of up to 5 minutes. The note Source options: in-person, phone outbound, phone inbound, online meeting, voicemail Type your note in the editor. Notes **save automatically**; there is no save button, and moving to another page keeps your changes. ## Automatic linking for meetings and calls Notes that Spott captures for you are matched to a person by their contact details: * **Meeting notes** (from the [Note Taker](/docs/notes/note-taker)) link to the person whose **email** matches a meeting attendee. * **Call notes** (from a connected VoIP integration) link to the person whose **phone number** matches the call. If no email or phone match is found, the note is not attached to a person and only appears in the main Notes list. Use the **Link record** chips to attach it manually. ## Where your note appears Linked notes are visible in multiple places: * The main Notes list * The person profile you linked, candidate or contact * The company profile you linked * The job record you linked * The meeting entry, if one was attached Open any linked record and go to its **Notes** tab to see the same note in context. If you want a note to show up on a person, client, or job, make sure to use the link chips in the note pop-up. Notes without links only appear in the main Notes view, and **Spott's AI can only use a note as context once it is linked to a record** (for matching, summaries, and Ask AI). An unlinked note is effectively invisible to the AI. Use your company templates to keep note-taking consistent across the team, for example interview debriefs or client call summaries.
