Overview
What does Lindy do?
Lindy builds no-code AI assistants — 'Lindies' — that own a recurring job rather than answering one-off prompts. The archetypal example is a meeting assistant that watches your calendar, researches attendees beforehand, joins the call to take notes, drafts the follow-up email and updates the CRM afterwards.
You configure a Lindy by describing its job and connecting the apps it may use, then adding triggers and conditional steps in a visual flow editor. It sits between a pure chatbot and a full automation platform: more opinionated and faster to set up than n8n, less flexible in exchange.
The strongest cluster of use cases is anything adjacent to email and meetings — scheduling, inbound triage, follow-ups, note-taking and CRM hygiene. That is also where the risk profile is easiest to manage, since a bad draft is caught before it sends.
Features
Lindy features
Meeting recorder and note-taker
Joins calls, transcribes, summarises and drafts the follow-up — the feature most customers buy it for.
Email triage and drafting
Reads inbound mail, categorises it and prepares replies in your voice for approval.
Trigger-based automation
Fires on a new email, a calendar event, a form submission or a CRM change.
Lindy Phone
Inbound and outbound voice calling for booking, reminders and simple qualification.
Agent Swarms
Run the same task across many records in parallel, such as researching a whole list of accounts.
Template library
Hundreds of prebuilt assistants that are usually faster to modify than to build from scratch.
Integrations
Integrations and how to connect Lindy
What Lindy connects to, and the order to set it up in.
Start from a template
Pick the closest prebuilt Lindy and modify it. Building from an empty canvas takes far longer for no benefit.
Connect Google or Microsoft
OAuth into Gmail and Calendar — the two integrations most Lindies depend on.
Write the instructions
Describe the job precisely, including tone and hard boundaries such as never sending without approval.
Add a confirmation step
For anything that sends externally, insert an approval step until the drafts are consistently good.
Connect the CRM
Link HubSpot or Salesforce so meeting outcomes and research land on the record automatically.
Fit
Who is Lindy for?
Founders and executives with meeting-heavy calendars
The clearest fit. Pre-meeting research plus post-meeting follow-up recovers real hours every week.
Sales teams wanting CRM hygiene
Automatic note capture and CRM updates solve a problem reps genuinely never do well themselves.
Small ops teams without engineers
Good fit for email and scheduling automation, though complex branching logic hits the ceiling quickly.
Teams needing complex custom integrations
Poor fit. The integration list is narrower than Zapier's and the flow editor is less expressive than n8n's.

FAQ
Lindy frequently asked questions
Will Lindy send emails without asking me?
Only if you configure it that way. The recommended setup keeps a human approval step on anything outbound until you have watched enough drafts to trust it.
Does it join meetings as a participant?
Yes. It joins as a recorder on the major video platforms, transcribes and produces summaries and follow-up drafts.
How do credits work?
Each action an assistant takes consumes credits, and multi-step workflows consume several per run. Model your expected run volume against the plan allowance before subscribing — this is the most common source of surprise.
Lindy or Zapier Agents?
Lindy for email, calendar and meeting work, where its templates are purpose-built. Zapier Agents when integration breadth across a wide SaaS stack matters more than depth in one workflow.
