Add interview@lavalier.ai as an attendee on any calendar event and Lavalier's notetaker joins automatically.
How to Invite Lavalier
- Create a calendar event in Google Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar tool you use
- Add interview@lavalier.ai as an attendee, just like any other participant
- Make sure the event includes a video meeting link (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Webex)
- Send the invite
When the meeting starts, Lavalier's notetaker joins and records the conversation. The interview shows up in your Interview Calendar, ready for you to add candidate and role details afterward.
Note: Send the invite from the same email address that's on your Lavalier account. If the two don't match — for example, you signed up with a personal email but invite from your work calendar — Lavalier can't link the meeting to your account and the interview won't appear.
When to Use This vs. Connecting Your Calendar
You can do either — or both.
Invite interview@lavalier.ai when:
- You only want certain meetings recorded
- You'd rather not grant full calendar access
- A teammate is organizing the meeting and you want Lavalier to join
Connect your calendar when:
- You want Lavalier to automatically pick up every event with "interview" in the title or body
- You want upcoming interviews to show up in the Interview Calendar with no extra steps
What Happens Next?
Once Lavalier joins your meeting:
- Conduct your interview — See what to expect during recording
- Write feedback — Add structured feedback once the interview wraps up
- Connect your calendar — Let Lavalier automatically detect interview events so you don't have to invite the notetaker each time
Troubleshooting
The notetaker didn't join my meeting
Check that the calendar event includes a video link (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Webex). The notetaker needs a meeting URL to join. For phone or in-person interviews, use the New Interview button in Lavalier instead — see Creating and Scheduling Interviews.
The interview isn't showing up in Lavalier
Make sure the email address you used to send the calendar invite matches your Lavalier account email. If you signed up with a personal address but scheduled the interview from a work calendar (or vice versa), Lavalier can't link the event to your account. Use the same email in both places.
I want to cancel a meeting Lavalier is joining
Cancel the calendar event before the meeting starts, or remove interview@lavalier.ai from the attendee list and send the update. Lavalier picks up the change and won't join.
