1. **Fai's notetaker joins your call** You give Fai the link to a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call, or connect your calendar, and her notetaker joins when the call starts. [Take notes on your event calls with Fai](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides/take-notes-on-your-event-calls-with-fai)
2. **The notes go through it topic by topic** Fai's summary sets out the decisions, and her notes to share cover what was discussed topic by topic, the open questions and the key numbers and dates said.
3. **Every follow-up has an owner and a date** Each follow-up agreed on the call shows who took it on and by when, and Fai suggests a task for a deadline the call set.
4. **The call stays on the event** The notes sit under the event beside your ticket sales, contracts and advancing, and you can ask Fai what was agreed weeks later.

Your team sees what each artist, venue, supplier and sponsor call agreed, with who does what and by when, on the event it was about.
