Notetaker
The Attio call recorder: how to keep it out, or make it leave
Attio's call recorder asks to join from its user's calendar, usually only for meetings with outsiders. It has to be let in, and once in, anybody can tell it to leave by typing @Attio leave in the chat.

How it got into your call
- A colleague of yours, or somebody you are meeting, uses Attio, the CRM, with call recording on. With auto-record set to external meetings, it asks to join any synced meeting with at least one person from outside their company — 30 seconds before the start.
- Its user can also add it to any meeting by hand. Its name is chosen by the company using it, so it may not say Attio.
If it is yours: stop it joining
- Its user turns auto-record off under Account settings in Attio. That only covers their own meetings: if a colleague in the same meeting has auto-record on, the recorder can still ask to join.
- For one meeting, on the record page of the person or company being met, set recording to Recording off; it then stays out whatever anybody's settings say.
- To keep it out of every meeting, an Attio admin turns the call recorder off in Workspace settings.
Get it out of a call that is running
- It cannot record until somebody lets it in. Leave it in the waiting room or deny it; after ten minutes it leaves by itself.
- Once it is in, type @Attio leave or /bot leave in the meeting chat — Attio also accepts “Please leave the call Attio” and “Remove the note taker”. This works on Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, but only after it has been admitted.
- The host can also remove it from the list of people. Attio says everybody in the call can see it is being recorded.
What it keeps
What it recorded between being admitted and being removed stays in its user's Attio workspace, where it can be deleted.
